Google just released their latest commercial for the Google Pixel 7, and it came at the perfect time with the new NBA season kicking off. It was a pretty epic commercial, too. So much so, that even Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo literally got sidetracked by the ad during a recent press interview.

The best part about it is that Giannis got distracted when he saw himself on TV in the commercial. He was right in the middle of answering a serious question from a reporter when he decided to hilariously acknowledge himself after seeing the Google ad (h/t ClutchPoints on Twitter):

To be fair, it was indeed a head-turning ad. The Bucks superstar had to shout out Simu Liu, who was one of his co-stars in the commercial. Giannis said that Liu, who is best known for his role as Marvel'sĀ Shang-Chi, is his ā€œguy,ā€ and it is clear that these two formed quite a bond while shooting the ad.
