In the post-game press conference, Giannis got visibly annoyed by a journalist’s question. The reporter reportedly asked him whether he thinks the season was a failure for the Bucks.

He replied, ?It?s a wrong question, there?s no failure in sports. There are good days, bad days. Some days you?re able to be successful, some days you?re not. Some days it?s your turn, some days it?s not your turn. And that?s what sports is about. You don?t always win. Sometimes other people win. And this year somebody else is going to win, simple as that.??
