Fans Lose it After Giannis Antetokounmpo Reacts to a Video of Him in a Lakers Jersey

The Coronavirus pandemic resulted in the suspension of the NBA. As a result, the players have a lot of free time on their hands. Fans too have the same free time and have taken to video games during self-isolation. One user Womack_forever shared a video of Giannis Antetokounmpo making a 3 pointer from near the halfway line. SportsCenter tweeted this video and Giannis was in shock at the basket his virtual character made.

Giannis will be a free agent in 2021. The ‘Greek Freak’ is poised to be able to negotiate a contract that will see him eclipse some of the league’s current best-paid players. 

The biggest names in free agency are always linked to every club across the league. Antetokounmpo’s reply sent the internet into overdrive as fans began speculating what a move to the LA Lakers may mean. As expected, the reactions were mixed and people’s amazing picture editing skills came to the fore.

Some of the best replies to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s tweet

A few fans were on board with the possibility of Giannis Antetokounmpo taking his talents to Los Angeles. Steve tweeted saying anything is possible with the right colors.

A tweet called this a prophecy where the Greek Freak follows the footsteps of NBA legend Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

One user said let’s make it happen and hinted at yet another LeBron James ‘Big 3’

Some other fans were against the Giannis Antetokounmpo potentially heading to the Lakers

Giannis became a star at Milwaukee and features on a team with his brother Thanasis. He won last season’s MVP award while with the Bucks and can commit his long term future there. However, his other brother plays for the yellow and gold uniformed team at the Staples Center.

Players these days are judged by their moves to the more competitive Western Conference. The pursuit of a title may draw him away to a team where he can claim a title sooner rather than later. Could we see him don the famous jersey worn by Kareem Abdul Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, and Shaquille O’Neal?

Do you think Giannis will make the move to the Lakers? Let us know.
