After the game, Giannis was frustrated with his free-throw percentage going just 4 of 15 from the charity stripe (27%).

With the match over, some Wells Fargo Center staff were trying to clean up the court, with one man bringing a ladder to fix the rim.

Meanwhile, Greek Freak wanted to practice free throws, and when several arena employees got in his way, he shoved down a large ladder.

The entire incident was captured on video by some fans who were still in the arena.

The Athletic reports that the whole sequence occurred after Montrezl Harrell took the ball from Giannis and refused to give it back.

"This isn't f***ing Milwaukee," Harrell barked at Antetokounmpo, as witnessed by The Athletic. "Get that s**t out of there."

Then Giannis left the court and returned with two basketballs.

Only when he came back, an employee pushed the A-frame ladder in front of the hoop where Giannis was shooting. Antetokounmpo asked the man to move the ladder so he could finish his shooting, and twice the man said no.
