It was to be a simple match without history, between a team which is preparing quietly for the Playoffs and another already very happy to have been invited. Unfortunately the tension quickly prevailed and if everyone does not give a damn about the score of the match, Giannis Antetokounmpo is likely to make the headlines in a way it would have gone well.
A little more than three minutes in this second quarter, as expected we get bored, and suddenly our half-closed eyes reopen all at once. A poster ? A 3 + 1? A guy from the staff who doesn’t wear a mask? Nope, simply the ball of the week sponsored by Giannis Antetokounmpo himself. A limit box-out of Moe Wagner on the Freak, a few words exchanged, already, Giannis who wants revenge by rushing headlong into the pivot of the Wizards but who takes an offensive fault, it speaks again and always, then finally Giannis who decides like a grown-up that his evening is over by crossing the field to put a face to his new friend. No scuffle everyone separates everyone while Moe hesitates between crying, running away or crying while running away, and the sentence falls very quickly with an exclusion for the future double-MVP.

Probable suspension to come, regardless of the end of the story, and we remember for example that Shaun Livingston had picked up in 2017 a penalty match for having made a head to head a little too manly with a… referee. On the Orlando side, things go out of the way ‘because in the event of Giannis being suspended in the first round of the Playoffs, the Magic suddenly sees its chances… ah bah no, not even. Come on, champagne anyway?
