Mario Hezonja’s step over on Giannis Antetokounmpo irritated the Greek Freak, who immediately after the end of the match with the Knicks said: ”“Oh yeah, I’m gonna punch him in the nuts next time.”
The Greek forward said he should have use a different expression, saying he is a role model for children and should not have spoken like that.
He added that he meat what he said but he should have chosen better words.
I’m a model for many kids and seeing kids on the road and saying “yes, you should beat him in the…” It’s not good.
Giannis apologizes for saying he’d “punch [Hezonja] in the nuts”… but says he still meant what he said ?
