Video: The Bucks’ prank, Giannis’ epic reaction, and Thanasis’ calmness

The season starts in a few days, the teams’ staff are getting ready, and the Milwaukee Bucks decided to test their players — with a spider

Newsroom October 16 03:33

As a father of young children, Giannis Antetokounmpo has obviously seen plenty of Spiderman episodes.

However, when he saw a small fake spider suddenly pop out of a box he opened, Giannis’ reaction was anything but calm.

The Bucks’ social media managers had placed a fake spider inside a little box, and when someone opened it, it jumped out.

Giannis, being the team’s superstar, was the first to open the box — and when he did, he reacted as if he’d been fouled hard, jumping back in shock!

In contrast, Thanasis was very calm, and some other Bucks players didn’t seem particularly surprised either.

Many fans who saw Giannis’ reaction were reminded of his “cockroach adventure” last July, when his wife asked for his help dealing with a cockroach she found while organizing their closet at home.
