I play basketball for my teammates. I play basketball for myself and my family. When people don\u2019t believe in me, I don\u2019t tend to be with them. I tend to do what I\u2019m here to do, what I\u2019m good at. \u2026 It won\u2019t change home or away. But yeah, I\u2019ve never been a part of something like that before and I don\u2019t think it\u2019s fair. I don\u2019t. But everybody has their opinion to do what they want to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not going to tell them what to do and how they should act when we don\u2019t play hard. Or when we lose games, or when we\u2019re not where we\u2019re supposed to be. I don\u2019t think anybody has the right to tell me how I should act on [a] basketball court after I\u2019ve been here 13 years. And I\u2019m basically the all-time leader in everything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Bucks lost to the Timberwolves by a final score of 139-106. They are now 17-23 on the season. <\/p>\n<p>If the regular season ended today, Milwaukee wouldn\u2019t even be in the NBA play-in tournament. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously you\u2019re frustrated,\u201d Giannis Antetokounmpo said. \u201cI think we didn\u2019t play hard. I think we didn\u2019t do the right things. We didn\u2019t play as a team. It\u2019s not much you can take away from this game. You just got to kind of forget about it. Take all the things that you did new well, try to improve on it and go to the next one. But the effort was low, you cannot have that. You cannot have that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Antetokounmpo recently said he will never request a trade from the Bucks, who won the 2021 championship against the Phoenix Suns but have won just one playoff series since then.<\/p>\n<p>A future Hall of Famer, Antetokounmpo is averaging 29.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game this season. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/dallashoopsjournal.com\/p\/category\/nba\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Latest NBA News &amp; Rumors<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NBA superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is not happy that Milwaukee Bucks fans booed the team on Tuesday (1\/13) against&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":537659,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3782],"tags":[7,123,121,307,152,3954,6,3101,6050,308],"class_list":{"0":"post-537658","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-minnesota-timberwolves","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-giannis-antetokounmpo","10":"tag-milwaukee-bucks","11":"tag-minnesota","12":"tag-minnesota-timberwolves","13":"tag-minnesotatimberwolves","14":"tag-nba","15":"tag-nba-news","16":"tag-nba-rumors","17":"tag-timberwolves"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/115897475198161846","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537658","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=537658"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/537658\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/537659"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=537658"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=537658"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=537658"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
