Meanwhile, the Greek Freak is collecting some heat after booing at the Bucks fans in Wednesday’s loss. Roger Parker blasted Giannis’ behavior and said he is done supporting the 30-year-old two-time MVP. “The idea that you have the audacity, the goal to boo the home fans when you turn in a stinker like that with…now Giannis has fallen in line with everybody else. Ungrateful, selfish, uncaring, and saying to the fans, ‘the hell with you’.”

Well, Antetokounmpo has declared his future with the franchise. He is not going to turn his back. However, the fans’ frustration over repeated losses just seems valid. The Bucks have a 0.425 win percentage this season. They have a 17-23 record so far, and they are falling apart. In fact, their struggles haven’t ended since the 2021 championship-winning season.

However, Giannis Antetokounmpo remains the central force for the Bucks. In 26 games this season, the Greek forward has averaged 29.1 ppg, 9.7 rpg, 5.7 ast, and he has a 64.9 FG%.
