"@ShamsCharania you gonna respond p***y? F**k you you little b***h. You arent a reporter, stop purporting to be one," the fan commented. "No one likes you bum @ShamsCharania," the fan commented. "Call them out by name admin, stand on business with that scumbag Shams," another fan commented.

Despite the intense trolling in the comments section, Shams Charania has decided to remain silent on the subject.

Giannis Antetokounmpo hints at his loyalty aligning with the Bucks

Giannis Antetokounmpo hinted at his loyalties lying in Milwaukee. On Saturday, the nine-time All-Star attended the National Sports Collectors Convention alongside his brothers.

The group discussed how Antetokounmpo's signature had shortened to "GA34" after a signed card, from his early days in the league, was displayed.

The nine-time All-Star revealed that his plans to play in the league for a long time had influenced his decision to change his signature.

"Maybe I the first, like, I don’t know, maybe like a thousand, first thousand autographs that I gave away. And then I was like, ah no, I can’t be doing this for the rest of my life. Like, I want to have a long career, I’m gonna play like 15–20 years in the NBA, I can’t be doing these autographs," he said.

After his statement, a fan yelled the Bucks' slogan at the nine-time All-Star and said the slogan back.

"All in Milwaukee, baby."

Giannis Antetokounmpo had a great individual run last season. He averaged 20.4 points, 11.9 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game on an impressive 60.1% shooting. However, Milwaukee had to face a first round in the playoffs after the Pacers knocked them out with a 4-1 record.
