Giannis Responds to Stephen A. Suggesting He Could Be 'Underachiever' in Viral Video

After Stephen A. Smith said on ESPN's First Take that he would consider Giannis Antetokounmpo an "underachiever" if the two-time MVP doesn’t win another championship, the Milwaukee Bucks star offered a subtle response.

One social media user defended Giannis, writing:

“Giannis went from selling sunglasses on a beach in Greece to a multi-millionaire who won a championship without having to run off and create a super team. He has overachieved his wildest dreams and anyone who thinks otherwise is ridiculous.”

Giannis reposted the comment with “100” and "fire" emojis—co-signing the sentiment.

The take by Smith didn’t sit well with more than just Antetokounmpo. Former Chicago Bulls point guard Jay Williams directly responded to Smith on First Take, saying:

“That was one of your worst takes I've heard in a long time. That was horrible... I think we really need to do a better job of reframing some of these conversations.”
