Video: Giannis Reacts to Jaylen Brown Calling Him a 'Child' After High-Five Fakeout

Doric SamNov 11, 2024

Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown wasn't happy with Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo's handshake fakeout during Sunday's game, calling him "a child."

Antetokoumpo was asked about Brown's reaction after the game and was surprised that he took offense to the gesture, telling reporters that he tries to play the game with joy and he's going to keep being himself:

Antetokounmpo was called for an offensive foul in the second quarter after elbowing Brown. As the two of them walked down the court, the two-time NBA MVP faked a handshake and smiled. When he went back for a proper handshake, Brown denied him.

However, it was Brown who got the last laugh, as the Celtics earned a 113-107 win to improve to 9-2 while the Bucks fell to 2-8. Milwaukee wasted a special performance from Antetokounmpo, who went off for 43 points on 18-of-29 shooting, 13 rebounds, five assists and two blocks.

"Giannis is a child. I'm just focused on helping my team get a win, and that's what we did tonight," Brown said when asked about the interaction after the game.

Brown had 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in the win. The Celtics were led by Jayson Tatum, who had 31 points, 12 rebounds and six assists. However, Tatum also had an issue with Antetokounmpo after the game, lamenting a no-call when he rolled his ankle after shooting a jumper and landing on Antetokounmpo's foot. Tatum picked up a technical foul after arguing that a foul should've been called.

"It's certain calls I just feel like you can't miss, right? Your job is to protect the guys on the court, protect the shooter. That's something I could've been out for six weeks or whatever," Tatum told reporters.

Antetokounmpo and the Bucks will try to overcome their early-season struggles when they return to action against the Toronto Raptors on Tuesday.
