Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best players in the NBA, but the biggest weakness of his game is his 3-point shot and the Brooklyn Nets' bench made sure they would let The Greek Freak know about it on Monday.
Antetokounmpo airballed a 3-pointer from the top of the key in Brooklyn and the Nets' bench got a huge kick out of it:

Giannis Antetokounmpo entered Monday shooting a woeful 19.7 percent from beyond the arc. As you can see, the Nets weren't even guarding Antetokounmpo at the 3-point line, a tactic defenses use all the time against Giannis. Until he improves his 3-point shot, opposing defenses are going to continue to dare Antetokounmpo to beat them from the 3-point line.
Perimeter shooting is the only weakness in Giannis' game, though. The now three-time All-Star is averaging 26.6 points, 12.5 rebounds and 5.8 assists per game on the season for the Bucks. The Nets might be on the wrong end of a devastating dunk by Antetokounmpo later in this game because of how they reacted to his airball from three.
Still, Brooklyn's bench reaction was hilarious and proved NBA players have the best reactions when something funny happens during a game.
