Giannis Antetokounmpo gets tech for mean mugging Karl-Anthony Towns (Video)
By John Buhler
Giannis Antetokounmpo disrespectfully looked at Karl-Anthony Towns after this powerful jam.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo got T’ed up after staring at Minnesota Timberwolves center Karl-Anthony Towns.
Everybody loves a petty jam, especially one where you can mean mug an opponent afterwards. When you can say absolutely no words and get your point across, message received.
Too bad Antetokounmpo did this in front of an official and got a technical foul for it. Given how badly things have gone lately for the Timberwolves, why would the refs not help them out in this situation?
Mean mug technical fouls are the best type you can receive to hurt your team
There are times to be respectful to each other, but never in the midst of a competition, especially those where jobs, money and livelihoods are on the line. Sometimes the fiery passion gets the best of us. It may have happened to Antetokounmpo, who got so fired up that he did not even have to say a word to Towns to get his point across. He will never have a tech as awesome as this.
Getting reprimanded is never fun, but doing so by just looking at someone is actually pretty awesome. It’s like a trip back in time, one where you get in trouble with your parents or your teacher because you stared at a sibling or a weirdo in grade school in an uncomfortable manner. The only way this technical foul would have been better is if Towns said he was telling on him.
Antetokounmpo can mean mug as many NBA stars as possible, as long as he gets T’ed up for it.
