The two-time MVP took lighthearted “shots” at Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic and Kevin Durant while reading off a script, but he complimented each player afterward.
“You keep joining super teams to win an NBA title,” Antetokounmpo said of Durant. “How about we work out together sometime so I can teach you how to carry your own team?”
But the burn didn’t last too long.
“You’re one of the best scorers to ever play the game. I respect your game. You lead by example for 15 years. You were my favorite player growing up,” Antetokounmpo followed up regarding KD.
Antetokounmpo was also supposed to roast LeBron James, but instead called him the GOAT and congratulated him on breaking the all-time scoring record.
He’ll have to stick to his day job.
Antetokounmpo has become one of basketball’s most likable figures since his rise to stardom. Aside from on-court domination, the 28-year-old is known for his viral humor, humble demeanor and inspiring story.
We’ve seen Antetokounmpo get angry, though. Following a tough road loss earlier this season, he got into a postgame altercation with Philadelphia’s Montrezl Harrell.
