After losing their first matchup, the Milwaukee Bucks managed to defeat the Washington Wizards in their second outing. The Wizards got a good push from their bench during their game against the Bucks but in the end, it was Giannis Antetokounmpo who had the last laugh. However, Antetokoumpo?s wife gave him a reality check which ?The Greek Freak? tried to brush off with one of his plays during the game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo went off for a 55-point performance while also notching up 10 rebounds and 7 assists for the game. But seemingly that wasn?t enough for Giannis? wife as she told him that he does not get posted on social media pages anymore.

Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about how his ?significant other? told him that he doesn?t get posted on social media pages just for dunking the ball. Mariah Riddlespriger said, ?They don’t post you on House of Highlights anymore because you don’t dunk the ball. You don’t get as high as the young fellas.?
To which Giannis said, ?The legs are gone…But I had the windmill! So, I hope that satisfied her.? But fans on the other hand did not buy into it and trolled Antetokounmpo for trying to write his own narrative.?
One fan tweeted, ?Hahaha Giannis turning into LeBron with his blatant lies for no reason His wife definitely said none of this.?

A brief recap on the Greek Freak
The Greek Freak has been in the league for about 10 years now. He has won a number of accolades apart from winning an NBA championship. Currently 28 years of age, Antetokunmpo still has a lot of years left in the league.
And for him to claim that his legs aren?t the same as before this early in his career may have been a stretch. Given the fact that younger players tend to be more athletic and energetic than the veterans in the league, Giannis is only transitioning into the veteran segment.?
