Nikola Vucevic throws huge shade at Giannis after the dunk fight on the windmill
Nikola Vucevic shot at Giannis Antetokounmpo for his dunk on the windmill at the end of Chicago Bulls vs. Milwaukee Bucks game on Saturday night.
Antetokounmpo made a lot of plays near the end of regulation. While Milwaukee held a solid lead over Chicago, Antetokounmpo looks to punctuate the win with a windmill dunk. This caused confusion for the Bulls, seeing Vucevic square off against the Bucks’ star in a visible showdown.
Vucevic reflected on the events after the game, via reporter Will Gottlieb. He decided to take a direct shot at Antetokounmpo, citing a recent report that Chicago had no interest in pursuing him.
“I guess Giannis was angry at the report that came out that the Bulls didn’t want to trade for him,” Vucevic said.
