The Milwaukee Bucks were absolutely disrespected by Trae Young in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but Giannis Antetokounmpo isn\u2019t going full Michael Jordan-mode on the Atlanta Hawks star.<\/p>\n
Late in the third quarter of the contest, Young found himself wide open for the triple after a sweet crossover on Jrue Holiday. Instead of firing the shot immediately, Ice Trae chose to wait a bit, shimmy and make the shot\u2013which hit nothing but net.
\nAfter the contest, the Hawks guard explained why he hit the Bucks with such a disrespectful taunt, and he simply replied he \u201chad time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a lot of time to shoot.\u201d

When asked for his comments on the shimmy, Antetokounmpo took it with class and said he sees it as someone who is having fun. With that said, he\u00a0 emphasized that he didn\u2019t take it personally.
\n\u201cHe\u2019s just having fun. He\u2019s enjoying the game. Obviously I wouldn\u2019t want him to make the shot. But he\u2019s having fun. He\u2019s enjoying the game. We\u2019re going to do the same as a team. We are going to have fun and enjoy the game and there\u2019s going to be times when Jrue might see me or whatever the case may be, or I might \u2014 it\u2019s just part of the game. So can\u2019t take that personally,\u201d the Bucks\u00a0 star said, per the team\u2019s website.
\nTo be fair, like what Giannis Antetokounmpo said, Trae Young played with a lot of joy and confidence. It is likely the reason why he was able to get his way in the game and finished with 48 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists.
\nThe Bucks could probably learn a thing or two from Young. After all, they needed the same kind of swagger that Trae showed if they want to compete for the Larry O\u2019Brien trophy.
\nMilwaukee will surely be ready for Game 2 on Friday, and they will probably want to get back on Trae and take the W in the process.<\/p>\n
