‘Never been a closer’ – Fans were upset as LeBron James mocked Giannis Antetokounmpo’s free throw by countdown

Entertainment — 03/27/2024

Giannis Antetokounmpo has gotten a lot of raised eyebrows for his free throw routine. One would think that he got better shooting advice since the Milwaukee Bucks have good shooters like Damian Lillard, Brook Lopez, and Khris Middleton. That is not at all the case which makes him getting clowned a very normal occurrence on a nightly basis. The latest individuals who did that to him were LeBron James and the rest of the Anthony Davis-led Los Angeles Lakers.

LeBron James started counting the seconds during Giannis Antetokounpo’s free throw routine. The Bucks star may have heard the Lakers players’ screams which may have affected his mental for a bit. Not to mention, they were down up by quite a lot at one point but blew the lead.

LeBron James was not the only one having fun while watching Giannis Antetokounmpo take so long in the charity stripe. Other members of the Lakers faithful and avid basketball fans also started to troll the Bucks legend.

“HAHA: LeBron James was counting how many seconds it took for Giannis Antetokounmpo to shoot a free throw. Giannis missed BOTH Court,”Side Heat wrote.

Some fans were just flat-out annoyed by the Bucks star taking too long, “btw Giannis’ stupid free throw routine is getting out of hand, one person, one descent shooting coach to give him one good fucking advice and stick with it instead of doing this stupid 10-second delays and then missing them.”

Other spectators were even keen on saying that the Bucks star lost his clutch gene against the Lakers, “Giannis never been a closer and that’s ok because players have roles for this exact reason plus a big reason why he doesn’t because his free throw shooting.”

Antetokounmpo only made one of his six free throw tries, yet he still managed to score 29 points. But Anthony Davis lit up on the court, so it didn’t matter. In a decisive victory, the Lakers center led the club with a huge double-double of 34 points and 23 rebounds. With any luck, the Lakers’ climb up the postseason standings won’t be as drawn out as one player’s free throw routine.
