Giannis Antetokounmpo returned on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls after an eight-game absence due to a calf injury. Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to a win, but he also got into an altercation with Bulls players after the game. The intense back-and-forth has been broken down by a famous online lipreader.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, LegendZ broke down what happened between the Bucks and Bulls. Antetokounmpo started things after he broke the unwritten rule of scoring in the dying seconds of a game they already won. He hit a nasty windmill dunk with less than 10 seconds left.

Nikola Vucevic bumped into Antetokounmpo after the buzzer sounded, with Coby White also expressing his frustration. White even got into it with Bobby Portis and Gary Trent Jr., who both were trying to defend "The Greek Freak."

"Don't do that. Don't do that, bro," Vucevic said. "I don't care. I don't care," Antetokounmpo replied. "You trynna throw hands? You trynna throw hands, n***a?" Trent asked White. "Who y'all checking? Get up out of here. Who y'all checking?" Portis shouted to the Bulls players.

Despite what happened, Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks had the last laugh against the Chicago Bulls. Antetokounmpo had 29 points and eight rebounds in 24 minutes to help the Bucks earn the 112-103 win.

Ryan Rollins continued his breakout campaign, finishing with 20 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two steals. Bobby Portis added 17 points, 11 rebounds and two steals off the bench.


What did Giannis Antetokounmpo say after the game?

Speaking to reporters after their 13th win of the season, Giannis Antetokounmpo was asked about his late dunk and why he did it against the Chicago Bulls. The two-time MVP said that it was a wake-up call for his teammates, knowing that they are in a tough battle to make the playoffs.

"This is real talk, I've been 13 years in the league, if we keep on losing, brother, probably half the team's not gonna be here," Antetokounmpo said, according to BasketNews. "We're not going to make the playoffs. I really don't care. "At the end of the day, I just want to be available, be healthy, and help my team win. And if (that dunk) is what has to happen for them, everybody, to wake up and understand that we're fighting for our lives and we gotta get our hands dirty, so be it."

Giannis has been linked to trade rumors since the offseason, but the Bucks seem focused on keeping "The Greek Freak" in Milwaukee.
