Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is generally known as a nice guy, but the Greek sensation became enraged during Tuesday's matchup against the Brooklyn Nets.
Giannis was sent to the ground while jockeying for position with Donta Hall under the rim. As he got up, Antetokounmpo offered a few choice words to Hall. Officials were forced to intervene in the scuffle.
Apparently, Giannis told Hall that he was going to “F him up.” A legit heated moment:
Doing my best to read lips and this is what I gathered: “I’m gonna f— you up!” Giannis yelled at Donta Hall when he got up. Ref gets in the middle, Giannis looked at the ref and said, “I’m gonna f— him up.”

Both players remained in the game.
Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks are viewed as a favorite to win this season's title. In fact, they're only behind the Los Angeles Lakers, according to most oddsmakers. Right now, the reigning MVP is ranked third among all scorers in the NBA, just behind James Harden and Bradley Beal.
In his 59 outings this season, Giannis Antetokounmpo has racked up averages of 29.9 points on 55.0 percent shooting from the field (30.8 percent from beyond the arc), 13.8 rebounds and 5.8 assists.
Let's see if tempers continue to flare as the game continues. The Bucks are trying to clinch the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference.
