Giannis Antetokounmpo Fights Off Tears In Desperate Request To Bucks Locker Room After 59 Point Game

The confidence in the Milwaukee Bucks has been a little shaky lately. Despite its strong offensive duo, even analysts like Charles Barkley aren't favoring the Bucks. The expectations are the highest on the Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard combination. But with Dame's condition questionable currently, the Greek Freak is carrying the team. The 2-9 start to their season gave way to a lot of doubt. But after winning two consecutive games, the Bucks are rising to some very high expectations. At this time, Antetokounmpo made an emotional appeal to fans to stick with them.

Giannis lit up the Pistons at home in Wisconsin, leading the shorthanded Bucks to a 127-120 victory. He put Milwaukee's record at 4-8 with an insane 59-point performance. He's made a scoring record of the 2024-25 season so far in the first 12 games for the Bucks. It made him righteously emotional in his post-game interview.

With a reminder of their slow start to the 2021 season which ended in a championship, Giannis said, "I remember the year we won the championship, we didn't start the season very, very well. But at the end of the day, we never gave up. It doesn't matter who plays, it doesn't matter if the young guys going to play, we never give up."
