Giannis Antetokounmpo reacts to Dirk Nowitzki meme, as he goes viral in hilarious moment
Giannis Antetokounmpo
is one of the most formidable players in the
NBA
thanks to his size and speed. The forward for the Milwaukee Bucks is also no stranger to going viral. As he recently responded to an X meme, he drew fans' admiration and praise. The video talked about the time when
Giannis Antetokounmpo
lost to the Dallas Mavericks legend Dirk Nowitzki.
The NBA legend shared the clip and wrote a cheeky comment.
Giannis Antetokounmpo reflects on growth after viral Dirk Nowitzki meme highlights his online reaction
Giannis Antetokounmpo is among the
NBA
's greatest success stories when it comes to developmental trips. The two-time MVP is constantly looking to improve his skills. He recently took the time to respond to a video showing him improving in one of his lesser skill sets during an offseason game.
The video also showed Dirk Nowitzki. He was one of the NBA's best players throughout the 2000s and portions of the 2010s. The
Milwaukee Bucks
player shared an X video, where he got defeated by the icon, and wrote in the caption:
'Keep sharpening your tools G…'
Additionally, he also made the news recently after he reacted as his wife took his phone in order to go live on Instagram. Shortly after
Damian Lillard
announced his return to the Portland Trail Blazers, his former teammate went viral.
It happened after Giannis Antetokounmpo's wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger, took his cell phone while they were looking for a cockroach that had gotten into their home.
While his wife appears to be standing on a stool or elevated platform, the Greek player can be seen in the video amusingly searching their home for the roach. He then asked his wife to leave the live. However, his wife jokingly answered:
'This will motivate you to kill the thing--- this will motivate you, after what you just put us through, it's time for you to get motivated. Move those shoes right there and see…'

He then said:
'Ah! I'm done with you… After this, I want a divorce, I swear to god I'm not playing with you, get out of my live! Get out of my live!'
On the other hand, it should go without saying that Giannis Antetokounmpo needs a backup jumper to fall back on. At some point, his athleticism will start to deteriorate. He will have to rely on other facets of his game if he is to keep having an effect in the later years of his career.

The Aashiqui 3 actor has recreated the infamous Coldplay scandal moment, involving Astronomer CEO Andy Byron and HR Head Kristin Cabot. The viral video shows Kartik Aaryan standing in front of a round mirror, holding a chocolate bar in his hands. As the camera catches him cheating on his diet, he gets shocked and hides.

Tanushree Dutta To NDTV: "No Scope Of Justice In Maharashtra, Molesters Hobnob With Politicians"
Actor Tanushree Dutta, who was at the forefront of India's #MeToo movement, has claimed that she is being stalked, harassed, and psychologically targeted for years, and has not received any help from authorities. On late Tuesday night, the former Miss India Universe posted a disturbing video of her crying on Instagram, alleging that she has been "harassed at my own home" for the past five years, so much so that her "health has deteriorated". Tanushree Dutta told NDTV in an exclusive interaction that she has been facing relentless harassment and intimidation over the past few years, both in public and private spaces, and has been left disillusioned with the system meant to protect her. Speaking in the wake of her distressing Instagram video she posted, the actor claimed to have noticed a pattern of incidents that she said have taken a toll on her mental and physical health. "My experience with the Mumbai Police during the 2018 MeToo movement left a very bitter taste in my mouth," she told NDTV. "They encouraged me to file an FIR back then. I spent four to five hours at the station, gave a detailed statement, and kept following up and nothing came of it. In Maharashtra, these molesters and harassers are often hobnobbing with politicians. They're protected. So, there's no real scope of justice." Tanushree Dutta, known for films such as Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Chocolate, Bhagam Bhag, and Dhol, also alleged that her ordeal hasn't stopped since. She said she suspects that even hotel staff and insiders may have been complicit in stalking and intimidation during her travels. "Whenever I raised the issue at hotels during my pilgrimages, I was either stonewalled or met with excuses. I didn't want drama. I had gone to pray, meditate, and heal. But the incidents followed me everywhere." She claimed food deliveries would arrive tampered with, groceries would be misplaced or opened, packages would be meddled with and there seemed to be a deliberate attempt to destabilise her. "It's psychological warfare," she says. "They're trying to scare me. And it's been happening since I came back from one trip so unwell that I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, triggered by prolonged stress and anxiety." According to Tanushree Dutta, in multiple cities, at different hotels, someone would use a spare key to enter her room. "Whether I was in the room or not, they'd come in, move small things, steal just enough to make me notice. They wanted me to know I wasn't safe even in what should be a private, protected space." Now, she said, the pattern has reached her Mumbai home. "People bang on my door at odd hours. They've left foul-smelling substances outside. I've reported it to my building society many times. Yesterday, when it happened again and no one responded to my calls I broke down. I called the police. They came, spoke to the watchman, but it was all vague, everyone blaming each other. They asked me to visit the Oshiwara Police Station and speak to a senior officer. I said I will but only if they are willing to act. I won't waste more years chasing justice that never comes." Tanushree Dutta's 2018 allegations against veteran actor Nana Patekar helped spark the #MeToo movement in Bollywood. The actor has been away from the world of films since the 2010 movie Apartment, but has kept fans and followers updated about her life through her Instagram page. The latest series of alleged revelations made by the actor, however, indicate that the aftermath of that decision and the fight for accountability is far from over.
