Giannis Antetokounmpo rips James Harden for a second time after All-Star game

Do these two have beef?

Are we all missing something or do Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo and Houston Rockets’ guard James Harden have beef?

After Team Giannis defeated Team LeBron in a thrilling 157-155 win at the 2020 All-Star game, Antetokounmpo explained what his team’s strategy was late in the contest: “Offensively, we were just trying to find whoever James Harden was guarding. That’s who we thought we had an opportunity to score on.”

Now, look: that could be downright serious, although Harden’s defense has been much improved in recent years. Team LeBron had some of the game’s best defenders on the court, so Harden might have been the best option.

But Harden played solidly on the defensive end, so … what gives?

I keep going back to what the Greek Freak said during the All-Star selection show, when he said he “wanted somebody that’s going to pass the ball” and passed up on choosing Harden, instead going with Kemba Walker:

Is there beef here we don’t know about? Hmmm.
