Doc Rivers’ reaction to Thanasis Antetokounmpo getting a Technical Foul while on the bench.

But as always, he remains one of the most beloved of his teammates and Damian Lillard is his new friend. However, some things do not change and Thanasis, seeing the injustice on the floor, cannot control himself.

In his team’s second game against the Charlotte Hornets, and although he received a technical penalty in the first, the same thing happened in the early hours of Friday, March 1.

This time, the referee penalized him while he was on the bench. He was watching the match from there, but when he saw that the referee did not foul his brother Giannis, while he himself judged that it was… obvious, he started screaming. At that time, the referee did not accept his behavior and gave him a technical penalty.
