Milwaukee Bucks: Draymond Green Slams Media’s Thanasis Antetokounmpo ‘Clown’ Narrative
There’s no denying that Milwaukee Bucks veteran Thanasis Antetokounmpo does not have the most stellar reputation in the league. In fact, even some Bucks fans can’t help but make fun of Giannis Antetokounmpo’s older brother whenever the opportunity presents itself.
Golden State Warriors star Draymond Green is well aware of this narrative surrounding Thanasis, and the former Defensive Player of the Year made his thoughts on the matter abundantly clear.
In a recent episode of his podcast which had Green interviewing former Bucks guard Jeff Teague, the conversation led to an honest and in-depth discussion of what Thanasis brings to the table for Milwaukee. For his part, Green just had to call out Antetokounmpo’s naysayers as he sounded off on what type of person the Bucks forward is behind the scenes.
“People almost try to make him out to be a clown,” Green said. “I’ve actually gotten to know the person. Very, very, very, very solid good dude. Smart, good dude. I’ve also talked to other people that has played on teams with him. I’ve never heard one bad thing about him as a teammate.”
