Giannis Antetokounmpo Reveals ‘Crazy’ LeBron James-Space Jam 2-NBA Finals Coincidence

Giannis Antetokounmpo did an incredible job in Game 5 of the series against the Phoenix Suns. The Milwaukee Bucks star soared for an amazing alley-oop dagger over CP3. It was like he was LeBron James doing is poster on Al G. Rhythm (spoiler). Great Giannis Antetokounmpo talked about this LeBron coincidence just because people kept mentioning it.

LeBron James attended the game to support Chris Paul and promote his new movie. Someone made an incredible photo of this shot. Well, Giannis wasn’t inspired by LeBron.

“But this is crazy, this is a crazy story, this is not a promo,” he said during his Finals availability on Monday. “The night before I was watching Space Jam on HBO. So I was watching Space Jam, you know, and there he goes, he’s in the courtside seating.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo addressed the crazy LeBron coincidence

The Greek Freak said it was “crazy” to think that LBJ made his first NBA Finals appearance back in 2007. This happened long before he started his basketball journey in his native country.

“First time he was in the Finals was 2007. I wasn’t playing basketball. That’s crazy to think about.”

Giannis didn’t forget to mention that never interacts with people in the stands. This includes family members and major motion picture stars.

“I didn’t have a chance to engage with him. I wouldn’t engage with him. That’s something that I don’t do, it doesn’t even matter who. It might be my mother sitting in the courtside seat, I don’t engage with them when I’m playing. I just try to focus as much as possible.”

“This is not a promo, but the night before I was watching Space Jam.” ?

Space Jam 3 is out and LeBron is really proud of his baby. Well, Skip Bayless is not really impressed and he gave it a C.

LeBron will keep watching these games as he really wants to see CP3 win. But, Giannis is determined to get his ring. Will he go home with a championship? Milwaukee fans would love that.

LeBron doesn’t play in the Finals but he came to support his favorite guy. Let’s see what happens next in the series.
