With the loss against the Jazz, the Bucks have lost 3 of their last 5 games and the Milwaukee team currently looks out of shape.

The boos flared towards the end of the first half when the Bucks looked out of contention as the Jazz were up 34-60.

"I think we have great fans, but around the league, if you don't play hard and don't give everything for the team, there are times where you might get booed," explained the Greek Freak.

"Sh*t, I'd boo myself tonight too," he said, without holding back his words and by implying criticism of his teammates, as well as himself.

After the game, the Utah Jazz X page posted a video of their equipment manager, Adam Klauke, after Giannis had stated that their improvement had to start with the Bucks' equipment manager.

The Bucks are currently in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference with a record of 25-12, while the Jazz are in 11th place with 18 wins and 20 losses.

Antetokounmpo is having a fantastic season, currently averaging 31.4 points, 11.5 rebounds, and 5.9 assists per game on 60.7% field goal shooting. In the game against the Jazz, the forward had a triple-double of 25 points, 10 rebounds, and 11 assists.
