LeBron James spotted trolling Giannis Antetokounmpo during Lakers-Bucks thriller… Los Angeles legend seen COUNTING as rival once again takes his time during free throw attempt
Even while sitting on the bench, Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James was fed up with how long Milwaukee Bucks leader Giannis Antetokounmpo was taking at the free throw line.
Giannis is known for taking an extraordinarily long time at the charity stripe – often flirting with the 10-second limit one is allowed to take a free throw.
During a tight contest between the Lakers and Bucks, LeBron James took it upon himself to troll Giannis by counting out loud how long he was taking to shoot his free throw.
James was seemingly going a bit too fast – as seen by one of the assistant coaches counting at a much slower tempo. In reality, Giannis took about eight seconds to take his shot.
Whether or not Giannis was aware of LeBron’s trolling, he missed the shot – leading James to do a little dance on the sidelines.

This is not the first time that Giannis’s free throw routine has come under any kind of scrutiny.
Fans around the NBA have been fed up with how long the ‘Greek Freak’ takes at the line – and are often heard chanting a count out loud to distract or intimidate him and also get the referees to call a violation.
It’s gotten to the point where Antetokounmpo’s fellow pros are getting tired of how long he’s taking.
Back in January, Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus was seen counting on his hands at the line to make sure Giannis wasn’t taking too long.
The Bucks-Lakers game ended up going to double overtime – with Los Angeles guard Austin Reaves drilling a dagger 3-pointer to give LA the win 128-124.
