Giannis Antetokounmpo explains his early NBA Finals first quarter exits with a hysterical quote

Wondering why The Greek Freak kept leaving really early in the first quarters of Games 3 and 4 of the 2021 NBA Finals?

Wonder no more. Giannis Antetokounmpo has an explanation, and it’s a pretty simple one.

Asked about the quick and early breaks in his post-Game 4 media availibility, Antetokounmpo stayed classy to find the right phrasing: “I went to take a tinkle and came back.”

That broke everyone up. It’s so perfect, isn’t it? And then he made sure he was being polite, which is doubly sweet and so endearing.

So if you see him running to the locker room early on, you know what’s probably happening.

“That’s polite, right?” Sure is, Giannis.
