Jaylen Brown's brutal comeback to Giannis Antetokounmpo after his fake handshake: "He is a child"

Boston Celtics defeated a struggling Milwaukee Bucks team (13-107) in a game marked by a rather curious gesture from Giannis Antetokounmpo. The Greek star pretended to greet Jaylen Brown but withdrew his hand just before Brown could shake it. He playfully ran his hand through his hair and laughed. He then tried to shake hands again, but Brown refused.

Jaylen, angered by the incident, didn't hold back on his thoughts about Giannis: "Giannis is a kid. I'm focused on helping my team win, and that's what we did tonight."

Meanwhile, Antetokounmpo seemed surprised by Brown's reaction and explained that it was all in good fun. "We always joke around during gameplay," Giannis asserted. "It's something I do with my kids, playfully. That's just me, playing with joy and fun."

Later in the fourth quarter, Brown committed a flagrant foul against Antetokounmpo as he challenged him in the air while attempting a layup. The officials deemed the contact excessive and unnecessary, but Brown clarified that the play was not intentional and was not a response to the earlier "handshake incident."

Despite the altercation, Antetokounmpo praised Brown after the game. "I think he's an amazing player," Giannis stated, finishing the game with 42 points and 13 rebounds. "I'm going to keep being myself. And if they call me a kid, so be it. I'm just trying to have fun out there. But, again, [he's] a great player, a great competitor. If I have another chance, I'll do it again."

Horrible Start for the Bucks

The Bucks began the game with a 17-point lead, fueled by Antetokounmpo's 19 points in the first quarter, his highest scoring quarter of the season. However, Milwaukee couldn't hold onto that lead and now holds a 2-8 record for the season, marking their worst start in the first ten games since Antetokounmpo's rookie year.
