Giannis Antetokounmpo cracked funny joke after LeBron drafted Davis
Giannis Antetokounmpo had a funny joke after LeBron James drafted Anthony Davis for his All-Star team on Thursday.
James and Antetokounmpo are the captains of their respective All-Star teams and got to select their rosters. There was a common theme to LeBron’s picks — free agents-to-be — such as Kyrie Irving and Kawhi Leonard. He also took Davis, who will be a free agent in 2020 and whom James’ Los Angeles Lakers were trying to acquire via a trade.
Giannis joked that LeBron was tampering with the pick.
"Isn't that tampering?"

Davis’ trade demand issued last week was believed to have been consciously orchestrated by Rich Paul, the agent to both LeBron and Davis. The Lakers’ efforts to acquire him in a trade did not work, and there is buzz that the Pelicans refused because they wanted to get back at the Lakers for tampering.
On the bright side, LeBron finally gets to be teammates with AD.
