Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo and Brooklyn Nets guard James Harden have had some animosity for awhile now. The Beard was clearly bothered the Greek Freak won the 2019 MVP over him, while Giannis also threw shade at Harden when selecting his team for the 2020 All-Star Game.
However, Antetokounmpo has evidently cleared the air once and for all in regards to his beef with the Nets superstar. Via GQ:
“He’s got a framed Blake Griffin Pistons jersey. He's got one from Kevin Durant, and one from Steph Curry. James Harden—A lot of people think that I have beef with James Harden, which is not true, the Bucks big man said, because if it were, why would his jersey be here? He continued the tour.”
There it is. No bad blood. Well, according to Antetokounmpo at least. The Beard could say different. Giannis has thrown some pretty savage digs at Harden in the past though, specifically in that '20 All-Star Game:
“Offensively, we went with whoever James Harden was guarding,” said the Bucks star. “That’s who we thought we’d have an opportunity to score on.”
But, that's all in the past. We'll see what happens the next time the Bucks face the Nets, though.
