Against LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers, Giannis Antetokounmpo of the Milwaukee Bucks claims that he's the king now after making a crown gesture.

Peep the clip below and try to read Antetokounmpo's lips. He made the gesture in their game against the Lakers. The Purple and Gold were trying to mount a comeback while Antetokounmpo and crew continuously built on their lead.

In the game between two of the best teams in the league, it was the Bucks who prevailed convincingly. Antetokounmpo's claims that he's now the king of the league may raise several eyebrows. After all, James is still in tiptop form even in year 17. But on Thursday's win over James, Antetokounmpo proved that he may be next in line to the throne.
