Bucks troll Raptors in dunk contest (Video)
The Milwaukee Bucks know that they’ll need some help to pull off an upset over the third-seeded Raptors, and found an unlikely hero at halftime of Game 4.
The Milwaukee Bucks and the Toronto Raptors find themselves in a heated series to open up the NBA postseason, and Milwaukee is pulling out all of the stops to get into the heads of their opponents from the Six.
In the usual halftime entertainment during Game 4, the Bucks set up an elaborate rib during a dunk contest with a children’s hoop, as an inflatable raptor was brought out as a prop for one little girl’s dunk.
The child gave a kick that Conor McGregor would truly be proud of on her way to a spinning dunk, and rightfully earned 10s from all three judges on the contest’s panel.
The moves didn’t stop there for the Bucks, as their mascot showed off some comedy to diss the Raptors in Game 4, as well.
The antics go along with the Bucks’ hilarious move during the Raptors introductions before Game 3, as they taunted Toronto’s players by playing the “Barney” theme song as their names were announced.
The Barney introductions seemed to get in the heads of the Raptors and gave the Bucks some momentum, as Milwaukee blew out Toronto by 27 in Game 3.
