Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t playing around. Literally.
After completing a four-game sweep of the Miami Heat in the First Round of the NBA Playoffs on Saturday, the Greek Freak was asked about the accomplishment.

The former league MVP compared the reigning Eastern Conference Champions to food in an epic troll move.
"There's a saying, don't play with your food. We didn't want to play with our food."

ZINGER!!!
Is anyone else a little surprised The Freak had that side in him? I suppose after the series Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks just had, he has every right to step on and over the Heat.
Other than an overtime win in Game 1, Milwaukee dominated the rest of the series. Antetokounmpo made sure there wouldn’t be a Game 5 by posting a 20-point, 15-assist, 12-rebound triple-double on Saturday. The Bucks won going away 120-103 to complete the sweep.
As one might imagine, Twitter absolutely LOVED the postgame comments from the Greek Freak.
DIDN’T WANT TO PLAY WITH OUR FOOD TALK TO EM GIANNIS 🗣

Giannis said “ we didn’t want to play with our food “ referring to the heat team. He’s a beast.

All fun and laughs right? Well, there was one fan Tweet that did catch our attention for a slightly different reason:

Hmmm. Guess we’ll find out whether this year’s Milwaukee Bucks team is ready to take that next step soon enough.
