Giannis Antetokounmpo doesn’t risk a fine when asked about the referees during his Game 3 news conference because he has diapers to buy

There were no “Dad” jokes from Giannis Antetokounmpo after the Milwaukee Bucks made a narrow escape in Game 3 of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Boston Celtics.

But he was thinking like a father after he scored 42 points in Milwaukee’s 103-101 victory over the Celtics Saturday at Fiserv Forum.

The officiating left a lot to be desired during the rather chippy game. When asked about a call that almost led to a technical foul against coach Mike Budenholzer, the Greek Freak chose his words carefully.

Remember, he has a toddler and a baby at home. And diapers can be pricey.
