Nets fans hilariously troll Giannis Antetokounmpo into airballing a free throw by counting seconds
Giannis #Giannis
Basketball fans did it once again to Giannis Antetokounmpo, and this time he airballed a free throw because of it. During Saturday’s elimination Game 7 between the Brooklyn Nets and Milwaukee Bucks, Antetokounmpo stepped up to the free throw line with less than four minutes left in the second quarter when fans got in on the action.
Nets fans took a page out of Miami fans books and trolled Antetokounmpo by counting down the seconds during his free throw, causing The Greek Freak to completely airball the attempt in hilarious fashion. Taking too long on free throw attempts has been a problem for Antetokounmpo for some time now, and earlier in these playoffs he was whistled for a 10-second violation during a free throw attempt in the Heat series.
Here’s how Saturday’s incident went down for Antetokounmpo in a key situation with the Bucks down 43-38.

I have a feeling this countdown is going to follow Antetokounmpo for some time as long as he continues to take his time at the free throw line.
