Giannis Antetokounmpo might not be great at shooting, but he definitely wanted to improve it by practising. Recently, the Milwaukee Bucks superstar caught the attention of fans when he pushed a ladder placed on the court by the staff of the Wells Fargo Center, following the match between the Bucks and the Sixers. Apparently, they used the ladder to check or fix something on the basket. However, the placement of the ladder might have disturbed the easy-going Antetokounmpo, who was fixated on improving on his free-throw shooting skills.
