Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo on Wednesday decided to celebrate his team's NBA title-clinching Game 6 victory over the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night in wholesome fashion.
Antetokounmpo rolled up to a Milwaukee-area Chick-fil-A (with his Finals and series MVP trophies in tow) and ordered a whopping 50 "chicken minis" at the drive-thru, a clear nod to his 50-point performance in the close-out game. He captured the moment on Instagram, as an unfazed Chick-fil-A employee happily jotted down what was surely a unique request without a second thought.
While Antetokounmpo received the order, he unfortunately wasn't so lucky when it came to scoring free Chick-fil-A for life, despite his heroics on the court last night. "That's why I signed in Milwaukee," he said, jokingly expressing his disappointment. It seems likely he'll shake it off.
