Two players whom all of the NBA hate to go up against are Stephen Curry and Giannis Antetokounmpo. Not because they don’t like them, but just because they can irritate the soul out of them.

Throwback to the 2017 all-star game when the Eastern Conference starter Giannis irritated the Western Conference starter Curry. The game started with LeBron, Giannis, Irving, DeRozan, Butler and Curry, Durant, Harden, Kawhi, Davis as starting line-ups.
7 minutes into the game, Giannis started doing what he does the best- dunking on people. Moreover, his victim was Curry, twice.
6’3″ Steph couldn’t do much against the 6’11” giant and all he could do was be humiliated. Curry bore it once, he dealt with it twice. The third time, when Giannis got the ball on the fast-break off the steal, see what Curry did by yourself.

Curry, to the crowds and players’ humor, just laid down and let Giannis go through. Funnily, he didn’t even try defending the ‘Greek Freak’ and let the truck go ahead and do the throw down. This surely was one of the blooper highlights of the night.
