There's no denying that Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is a huge wrestling buff. This is exactly why the former back-to-back league MVP decided to channel his inner Stone Cold Steve Austin on Wednesday to commemorate #316Day.
After leading the Bucks to a 135-126 win over the Sacramento Kings, Antetokounmpo came to his press conference in a âGiannis 3:16â shirt to commemorate the WWE icon. He even had a can of Coors Light in tow which he attempted to chug down in front of the press (h/t B/R Wrestling on Twitter):

To be fair, Giannis did send out a disclaimer about not being a beer drinker right before he attempted to imitate Stone Cold's signature beer chug. He then proceeded to do a quick sip (looks like it was just the froth he was able to taste) and he immediately regretted his decision. This is classic Giannis and this is why we all love him so much.
While the Bucks superstar failed in his #316Day commemoration attempt, he was his usual dominant self on the basketball court against the Kings. He willed Milwaukee to victory yet again with a game-high 36 points, 10 rebounds, two assists, two steals, and a block in 35 minutes of play. Just another day at the office for Giannis.
