After the Bucks lost to the Heat in the opening round of the playoffs, Giannis Antetokounmpo received a ton of criticism for not being able to knock out the No. 8 seed in the Eastern Conference.
On Tuesday afternoon, Antetokounmpo posted a message on Twitter for his doubters.
Antetokounmpo tweeted, “I’m tired of the disrespect. I’m coming.”
NBA fans immediately responded to Antetokounmpo’s post. Most of them expect him to return to the hardwood this fall with a vengeance.
“It’s over,” one fan said.

“No more Mr. Nice Guy,” a second fan commented. “Revenge tour incoming.”

Antetokounmpo had another MVP-caliber season, averaging 31.1 points, 11.8 rebounds and 5.7 assists per game.
Unfortunately for Antetokounmpo, all his regular-season production from October to April will get overshadowed by the Bucks’ early playoff exit. That’s just how it works when you’re a superstar.
