The Milwaukee Bucks, being the best team in the Eastern Conference, get more slack with their outgoing pregame routines, which often feature players like reigning NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo practicing professional wrestling moves.
On Friday before their road matchup with the Atlanta Hawks, veteran shooting guard Wesley Matthews put a (fake) beatdown on backup center and Brook's twin brother Robin Lopez in the tunnel. Antetokounmpo had to play clean-up and apologize to a bystander.

The Bucks in recent weeks have turned their pregame handshakes and team support into laughs and fake fights, flexing their wrestling moves on each other. When you're 27-5 and Giannis is having another MVP-level season, you get to be a little more creative before every game.
Over the years, veteran center Robin Lopez has demonstrated ābeefā with mascots and could be seen fighting with the opponents' mascots during games. Now Lopez has escalated to ābeating upā his own teammates.
