Antetokounmpo trolls Durant
Acting host, Hasan Minhaj urged Antetokounmpo to send a message to Durant, who recently joined the Phoenix Suns. The Bucks star read from the script as he delivered his message, per Clutchpoints.
"You keep joining superteams to win an NBA title. How about we work out together some time so I can teach you how to carry your own team?”
The two-time MVP also talked about his family, his father's foundation, and his love for sweets. He finished the segment by trying to talk trash about Luka Doncic, Nikola Jokic, LeBron James, and Durant, per Basketnews.
Minhaj tried to make him say the words with a more menacing demeanor, but that failed horribly. After 'trash-talking' Durant, Antetokounmpo spoke highly of the veteran forward, calling him one of the best scorers ever.
