Antetokounmpo clashed with Halliburton s father! After the game, he criticized: Lack of respect

Bucks main player "Antetokounmpo" Giannis Antetokounmpo scored 30 points, 20 rebounds and 13 assists in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Unfortunately, the team still lost to the Pacers 118-119 in overtime and was eliminated 1-4 in the series. After the game, Antetokounmpo had an argument with Pacers star Tyrese Haliburton's father, and the atmosphere on the sidelines was tense. After the game, the players of both sides shook hands and greeted each other as usual. Unexpectedly, Antetokounmpo and Bennedict Mathurin had an quarrel, and then a pull broke out. Other players rushed to persuade them to fight to avoid the conflict from expanding. Unexpectedly, the conflict had not stopped yet. After Halliburton's father hugged Antetokounmpo, a fierce verbal conflict broke out, and the two were immediately separated.

Antetokounmpo said later that he thought the other party was just an ordinary fan, and later he found out that it was Halliburton's father. "He walked on the court and held a towel with a photo of his son in front of me, and said, 'This is what we XX did', which I think is very disrespectful." He further stated that he was educated by his father since he was a child and should remain humble regardless of winning or losing. "Now many people think that if you win, you can ridicule your opponent, but I don't agree with this approach."

Haliburton also responded to this matter, admitting that he was not aware of it at the time. It was not until he returned to the lounge that he learned that his father had a conflict with Antetokounmpo. "I talked to my father, I do not agree with his behavior. He should let me concentrate on playing basketball. I will communicate with Antetokounmpo again."

The season was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs, and Antetokounmpo was also asked whether to stay with the Bucks, but he did not respond positively, "I don't want to talk about this. Now I will be interpreted by everyone. I really hope I am still playing, competing, and training."
