Giannis Antetokounmpo ended the game against Detroit early by making an obscene gesture at his opponent.
Milwaukee star Giannis Antetokounmpo was carted off the court in Detroit’s 120-119 loss.
Grick Freak received two technical fouls, the second for insulting an opponent. At the beginning of the third quarter, the Greek basketball player made a blocked shot, then he took the ball, ran across the court and scored a dunk against Isaiah Stewart.
The Deer forward celebrated his successful actions with a gesture that showed his opponent was “too small” to interfere.
The referee did not like such actions, took and gave a technical foul to Antetokounmpo, which became the second for the player, and thus the player was forced to leave the court.

After the match, NBA spokesman Rodney Mott explained the referee’s decision as follows:
“After the dunk, Giannis confronted his opponent with some taunts at him, and this will be penalized with a technical foul for unsportsmanlike conduct,” Motta was quoted as saying by BasketNews.
Let’s remember that the former Ukrainian basketball player Stanislav Medvedenko told an incredible story about the legendary American player Shaquille O’Neal.
