With emotions were at their highest, Tyrese Haliburton’s dad chose to poke the Greek Freak.
After the Milwaukee Bucks choked away Game 5 against the Pacers to end their season, a new camera angle shows John Haliburton running onto the court and taunting Giannis Antetokounmpo with a towel appearing to feature his son as Indiana celebrated the 119-118 overtime victory.
A Bucks player eventually ran over to try and halt the drama.
Antetokounmpo continued to stand idly by the 3-point line as the anger began to marinate for the former NBA champion.

Pretty immature by the Dad but I don’t see it as a big deal.
Dad a lame
They gonna get ran out the next round anyways…atleast dad has a souvenir
It’s the First Round and the Buck’s as a team are sorry!
Bet Shaq didn't that part.
Imagine if Giannis would have decked him in the face, then he'd be the bad guy. Ha! Mf that guy. Should be banned for life. The apology was empty. BAN HIM
Enjoy this moment because y’all going home in 4, let’s go Cavs❤
Giannis is so mature no matter the situation, heated loss and your getting in a man’s face talking smack trying to get a reaction out of him but if giannis had done something he’d be seen as the bad guy
The dad weak
What was that for?
Dad acting like hes son already won the championship. I hope the Cavs swept this guys.
Haliburton's dad is an idiot. Glad Tyrese and Giannis had more maturity in this situation.
Shaq saw this and still thought Giannis started it😂
Chuck was right, "I woulda clocked him".
They doing all this jumping around and celebrating to lose next round, act like you’ve been there before.
If two grown men are arguing let them argue.
Daddy flapping his gums and fighting his sons battles, I wouldn't be surprised if people held that against the son
Walking a full 7 feet circle around a man to stand 7 feet in front of him to start chirping is middle school behavior bro. What?! I’d be embarrassed asF to be associated with that
Good luck Giannis, you deserve better. Incredible performance this game and this year
He's lucky he didn't do this to Stewart from the Pistons or Draymond. They'll hit a senior in a second 😂
Acting like pacers are gonna win it all lmao
Giannis prolly like “all this noise just to get swept next round”
Clown 🤡 with a skeet rag
Bro y’all soft as hell, have fun talking shit all y’all playing yal dream job and making millions, just control your emotions, I was just looking at a video of Giannis mocking another player ppl play victim to much just ignore and move your aura with calmness
Damn- Indiana acting like the Twolves a couple years ago.
This is the first round…. You haven’t won shit
Who the fuk he to run on court,How many shots he make.Fukin digrace man.
Dad is a loser
Glad he got banned
Yoo Mr. Haliburton…. YOU’re fking CORNY
Totally unnecessary
Guys it wasn’t a heated conversation in fact John Hali said that even though it looked like he was staring him down he was just looking through him he wasn’t even talking to him
Only had the balls to do that cause he knew Giannis was unlikely to react in that situation. Lame as hell
John haliburton is from Wisconsin giannis can make it bad for him out there
Man getcho ase off thr court
