Giannis is a good dude
This was awesome
Really cool from Giannis
Refs gatekeeping ball now??? Tf is wrong with him
It’s our ball ain’t it
gg
Giannis so classy. Told them to just give the lakers the dumb fucking ball we have fifty in the back
Classy move Giannis
Redemption ball!
this is what Giannis meant when he said everyone needed to step up, including the equipment manager
very cool of giannis !
Good fella that Giannis. Despite dropping some really great numbers he didn’t really seem himself tonight; probably tired.
I love how they’re all arguing and then Giannis just walks over and takes right from under her arm.
lol why are refs getting involved
Idk how anybody can hate Giannis
Inspirational story coming from nothing
Giannias knows how this works not sure what the ref’s problem
This was hella fucking weird and I’ve seen some very weird shit in this league
Giannis to Lakers in 2027 confirmed
This was 100% because of the pacers/bucks ball fiasco. I’m sure after that they told the bucks to hold onto every ball
Ballsy move. That took balls.
What’s the specific reason the ref hesitated??? Pretty sure the NBA can afford a million other ones??
Giannis and game balls is a tale as old as time.
What a nice dude!
I’ve always liked Giannis
For those confused about the ref comments, this video cuts off the beginning of the standoff where Vando had the ball, and the ref was trying to take out of his arms. Eventually the Lakers gave up the ball while still trying to make their case as the ref gave it to the Bucks staff, who had no interest in giving it up until Giannis came over.
That was a very decent gesture, especially after what happened to him with Indiana. The fans won’t forget it.
Bizarre. Refs selling game balls now too?
Classic man
Giannis looks like a fine upstanding fella
Giannis has an experience with the game ball not being handed over at the end of the game
I dunno why, but I also liked how quick LaRavia was with the friendly back tap. It looked like Luka hadn’t even fully accepted the ball yet and LaRavia already recognized it and was thanking Giannis
Giannis is a classy dude. Much respect.
THAT’S WHY HE MY GOAT MY SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS
Why were they even hesitating to give them the ball?
Poor employee just trying to do their job got neutralized in 0.45 seconds
When a bunch of people can’t make a decision until finally someone decides to make an executive decision.
If I had a dollar for every time there was a weird game ball standoff involving the Bucks, I’d have 2 dollars.
Which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice.
Thank you Giannis very classy of you
I can hear his exasperated sigh as he walks up
This is so funny cause all it took was giannis to snatch up the ball and give it to them for it to end lmao
