Antetokounmpo: “Barnes had to eat technique – I love to be challenged by younger people”

by

THE Scotty Barnes went viral with his move to… flex on him Giannis Antetokounmpo after a basket that he succeeded by throwing it on the floor to Bucks vs. Raptors game.

The Greek Freak pointed out that according to the regulations, the Raptors’ forward should have been penalized with a technical penalty for defiant behavior, but added that he likes to see the younger players in the league … attacking him.

It was a technical penalty“, emphasized the 30-year-old superstar and added: “I’ve seen older and younger players, now more younger players, come up to me and challenge me and it’s something I love because I did it when I was younger. When I faced established or legendary players, I went all out on them. So when they do it to me now, I take it as the biggest sign of respect for what I’ve accomplished in 13 years in the NBA. However, I am not interested in personal duels, but in winning. I try to win and today we won. And now I’m thinking about the game against the Cavaliers. When I was younger I was thinking about the dunks, I was like, ‘Oh, I’m dribbling Durant, LeBron, Paul George, Butler, DeRozan, Carmelo.’ All of them. And I wanted to mess with them so they could learn me in the league and make a name for myself. Now that I’m older, I understand that the only thing that counts is winning».
