Giannis Antetokounmpo’s struggles at the free throw line have been well documented during the playoffs this year.
Well, things went up a couple notches during tonight’s Game 5 in Atlanta as the two-time NBA MVP air-balled not one, but two free throws in the first half.
Two air balls!
In the first half!
These air balls happened after the sold-out crowd in Atlanta counted off the seconds it took for the Bucks’ big man to finally shoot the ball. It seems like all that counting got in Antetokounmpo’s head a little bit because these air balls weren’t even close.
Check out the first one:
