Giannis Antetokounmpo is in the Milwaukee Bucks now (Image via Facebook / Giannis Antetokounmpo) Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the most formidable players in the NBA thanks to his size and speed. The forward for the Milwaukee Bucks is also no stranger to going viral. As he recently responded to an X meme, he drew fans' admiration and praise. The video talked about the time when Giannis Antetokounmpo lost to the Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki. The NBA legend shared the clip and wrote a cheeky comment. Giannis Antetokounmpo reflects on growth after viral Dirk Nowitzki meme highlights his online reaction Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the NBA 's greatest success stories when it comes to developmental trips. The two-time MVP is constantly looking to improve his skills. He recently took the time to respond to a video showing him improving in one of his lesser skill sets during an offseason game. The video also showed Dirk Nowitzki. He was one of the NBA's best players throughout the 2000s and portions of the 2010s. The Milwaukee Bucks player shared an X video, where he got defeated by the icon, and wrote in the caption: 'Keep sharpening your tools G…' Additionally, he also made the news recently after he reacted as his wife took his phone in order to go live on Instagram. Shortly after Damian Lillard announced his return to the Portland Trail Blazers, his former teammate went viral. It happened after Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, took his cell phone while they were looking for a cockroach that had gotten into their home. While his wife appears to be standing on a stool or elevated platform, the Greek player can be seen in the video amusingly searching their home for the roach. He then asked his wife to leave the live. However, his wife jokingly answered: 'This will motivate you to kill the thing--- this will motivate you, after what you just put us through, it's time for you to get motivated. Move those shoes right there and see…' Giannis Antetokounmpo is a remarkable player (Image via Instagram / @giannis_an34) He then said: 'Ah! I'm done with you… After this, I want a divorce, I swear to god I'm not playing with you, get out of my live! Get out of my live!' On the other hand, it should go without saying that Giannis Antetokounmpo needs a backup jumper to fall back on. At some point, his athleticism will start to deteriorate. He will have to rely on other facets of his game if he is to keep having an effect in the later years of his career.
