Celtics guard Jaylen Brown took exception to a fake handshake offered by Giannis Antetokounmpo during Sunday's game, calling the Bucks star 'a child.'
Antetokounmpo offered his hand to Brown after being whistled for an offensive foul, but he pulled it back and ran his hand through his hair as Brown reached out to accept. Antetokounmpo laughed and smiled at the gesture, before reaching his hand back out again."Giannis is a child," Brown said after the game."I'm just focused on helping my team get a win. And that's what we did tonight.
"We always joke around with the flow of the game," Antetokounmpo said."It's something that I do to my kids, I play around.Later, in the fourth quarter, Brown was called for a flagrant foul against Antetokounmpo after challenging him in the air while Antetokounmpo was driving to the basket.
"I just try to go out there and have fun. But again, great player, great competitor. If I have another opportunity, I'll do it again."
