Milwaukee Bucks teammates Giannis Antetokounmpo and Pat Connaughton have received a response from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson after a recent workout video.
The two players took to Twitter earlier in the week to express their appreciation for the Hollywood star by showcasing their impressive strength in the gym.
That led to The Rock offering his reply to the Bucks' duo on Wednesday after their attempt to replicate his workout efforts:
Haha just seeing this. My boys here are stroooong!! Good to see you’re bringing my Iron Paradise to the @NBA. It’s why you’re #1 in the East. @Giannis_An34 might be bionic.

There's no doubt that these two had to be thrilled to get a response from “The Great One” considering their fandom for him.
And, yes, Giannis raising the eyebrow is still likely producing plenty of laughs at this point.
But what isn't producing laughs is the play of the Bucks on the court, as they now sit at 26-10 on the season after picking up their fourth straight win on Tuesday with a 121-98 victory over the Detroit Pistons.
Of course, Giannis has been a big reason for Milwaukee's success by posting 26.3 points, 12.6 rebounds, and 1.6 blocks per game while shooting a ridiculous 58.6 percent from the floor on the season.
The Bucks have won 10 of their last 12 games, and with Giannis leading the way, they undoubtedly look like potential title contenders at this point in the season.
They'll try to keep the momentum going on Friday night when they host the Atlanta Hawks at Fiserv Forum.
After that, Giannis and company will welcome in the Toronto Raptors on Saturday for a huge Eastern Conference showdown.
The Bucks have won both meetings between the two teams this season, so they will likely need to be ready for a motivated Raptors squad.
