The moment of tension between Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Montrezl Harrell
Thanasis Antetokounmpo attempted to end the episode peacefully after the Sixers bucks, but Montrezl Harrell continued there with abusive language.
The event that followed the Sixers-Bucks game early Saturday morning (11/19) is the talk of the day in the NBA and in world basketball in general. Giannis Antetokounmpo received very harsh criticism for his anger which led to the fall of a ladder, but later in the day the details of the case emerged and now everyone knows what really happened and who started it all.
Montrezl Harrell was the one who started the riot on the Sixers pitch, with Thanasis Antetokounmpo speaking to him calmly to end the misunderstanding, but the American center (which had run into various troubles with the law) reacted heatedly and with abusive language . Thanasis was patient and went no further, with video from Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reporter Jim Wucharski as irrefutable witness.
