The lopsided Game 2 between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Miami Heat on Monday was a bit of a snoozefest. So Giannis Antetokounmpo decided to just play a different sport.
Early in the fourth quarter, Giannis got entangled with Heat forward Nemanja Bjelica. The situation got a bit heated with some pushing and shoving among the players. After the little scrum, the two-time reigning MVP got up from the floor, channeled his inner Cristiano Ronaldo, and played soccer.

The crowd truly loved that.
Giannis could afford to have some extra fun as the Bucks were leading by 654594545 points at that juncture. As NBA on TNT analyst Reggie Miller said, The Greek Freak displayed some fancy footwork.
It's not the first time the 26-year-old Giannis has shown off his soccer skills. Like most people in Europe, he played the sport during his childhood days growing up in Greece, battling with his brothers. So he sure knows how to juggle.
Despite his feisty competitiveness on the floor, Giannis Antetokounmpo has always been an easygoing character. He likes to joke around, have fun, and even wrestle with his teammates. He has said he likes to enjoy life and with them up big against the Heat, that's exactly what he did.
Now how do we get Cristiano Ronaldo play basketball?
