Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has been stellar on almost every aspect this season — except for one glaring issue.
Chicago Bulls sophomore Wendell Carter Jr. saw that up close on Monday night, as the reigning MVP air-balled yet another free-throw at the 8:52 mark of the first quarter in their teams' match at the United Center.
Cameras caught Carter’s astonished reaction, as the Greek Freak’s shot didn’t even reach the rim.

Antetokounmpo’s struggles from the line has been well documented this year. In fact, he also air-balled back-to-back free throws in a game against the Boston Celtics last month.
The 24-year-old superstar is still averaging MVP-like numbers of 30.1 points, 14.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists in 12 games. He is also shooting 58 percent from the field and 32 percent from deep.
However, for someone who gets to the line almost at will, Antetokounmpo is just converting on 63 percent of his freebies this year, a drastic drop from his 73.7 career average.
