Jazz Throw Subtle Shade at Giannis Antetokounmpo, Bucks After Win With Viral Post

The Utah Jazz relished their 132–116 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday by sharing a highlight reel of their equipment manager, naturally.

Days after Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo made a sincere plea to Milwaukee’s equipment manager to “wash our clothes better,” the Jazz couldn’t resist taking a good-natured jab at Antetokounmpo’s sentiment.

After Monday’s win, Utah’s social media team posted a short clip of equipment manager Adam Klauke holding several basketballs and giving the camera a thumbs-up.

It’s the epitome of a respectful troll, if there ever was one. 

Klauke, who has been with the Jazz franchise for over two decades, was named Head Equipment Manager in 2015 and arguably benefitted the most from Antetokounmpo’s quip, getting a rare bit of screen time following the win.

Meanwhile, the Bucks recorded their fourth loss in five games and will be expecting better performances from their stars, role players, and yes, even the equipment manager when they face the Boston Celtics on Thursday.
