There is no doubt that Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA today. He is also a fierce competitor on the floor, and always full of intensity whenever he plays. However on Saturday, he was seen all fired up, not inside the court, but on the sidelines.

The Greek Freak was involved in a verbal altercation with assistant coach Sean Sweeney, after being on the receiving end of some comments made against him. His teammates had to calm him down to avoid the situation to spill over, and not to have it escalate further.

It’s still unclear what exactly the two parties did not agree on, but it is definitely something the Bucks fans are worried about, as they do not want it to cause any distraction to the team, especially with the high expectations they have on them.

The Bucks ultimately lost on the night, 121-108. Antetokounmpo had another solid outing with 27 points and 13 rebounds, but it was not enough to lead the team to another victory. They have now lost three of their last four games, and saw their record fall to 9-9 for the season.
