In the hours before Sunday’s NBA All-Star game, the Milwaukee Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo sent a chocolate covered zinger to his would-be bestie Stephen Curry:
You thought they had something special? Relax. From all indications they form a two-man mutual admiration society. Thus, Antetokounmpo’s good natured tease was just that, a good natured tease.
It didn’t come out of nowhere. Two have cultivated a friendship that officially got off the launch pad during last season’s All-Star game.
That wasn’t the impetus for all the Antetokounmpo-to-the-Warriors speculation we’ve been hearing over the past several months That was happening even as the Warriors were still at their dynastic zenith.
