Giannis Antetokounmpo seems like a pretty nice guy, but there are times on the court when it’s clear he can get a little spicy.
We saw that in action on Friday night in the celebrity game Giannis coached for Team Dwyane Wade in. It was pretty hilarious, but you could tell from the look on Giannis’ face that he was dead serious.
Richard Jefferson officiated the game for a bit and made a call Antetkounmpo very clearly didn’t like. So he walks up to Jefferson and tells him “you out here reffing like Marc Davis and [expletive].”
On national television with Jefferson mic’d up for the moment. It was pretty incredible.

“You’re out here reffing like Mark Davis and shit”

Jefferson couldn’t help but laugh at it. Everyone honestly thought it was funny. You know who probably didn’t, though? Marc Davis himself.
The 24-year veteran referee probably did have a chuckle or two off of this, but he also may never give Antetkounmpo a favorable call again after this shot. There
It was hilarious, though. Well played, Giannis. Well played.
