New York Knicks big man Enes Kanter is apparently still upset with what transpired between him and Milwaukee superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo on Thursday.

Kanter and Antetokounmpo got into a minor scuffle after Kanter hit The Greek Freak in the face and the Bucks star came up to his face. Kanter was actually ejected from the game, something he didn't even know about until reporters told him in the postgame locker room because he was getting stitches above his left eye while the game was still going on.

Enes Kanter told reporters on Friday that Giannis Antetokounmpo is the golden boy of the NBA, implying that the league is going to side with him in any situation.

“He’s the golden boy,’’ Kanter said, via Marc Berman of the New York Post. “He’s the golden child. I’m not trying to fight against superstars and All-Stars. It just happens. If it was something else, I would’ve gone after somebody else. Obviously he’s the golden child and they gave me two technicals. OK. Whatever? I’m going to leave the management to take care of all that stuff.”

The NBA will reportedly look into the incident between Kanter and Antetokounmpo. Kanter may get his second technical foul rescinded. That's what he and the Knicks are hoping for.
