MILWAUKEE (AP) — Giannis Antetokounmpo’s meme-worthy scowl started with a look in the mirror.
The Milwaukee Bucks All-Star was an NBA rookie then, trying to come up with a look he could flash after making a big play. Antetokounmpo thought about the glare his mother would throw his way when he misbehaved as a child. It took about a week to perfect as he struck poses in front of the mirror.
“Now it comes easy. You’ve just got to put your nose up like this,” said Antetokounmpo, wrinkling his face after a recent practice.
It can look so much more intimidating on the court.
