Leaked Audio Shows Giannis Antetokounmpo And Chris Paul Exchanging Fiery Words

Their beef continued after the game as well, with Giannis and Paul speaking to each other after the 144-118 win was secured by the Spurs over the Bucks. 

Giannis spoke about this interaction at length in his post-game interview, expressing how he wants to protect himself and his body while not letting dirty players get away with attacking him on the court.

"They haven't tried me. You gotta try me. People that know me, they don't try me. If you try me, it's a different side. Yeah. So if you try me, you're going to get that different side of me."

"But yeah, okay, at the end of the day, like, I think we're all men, we all respect one another. And if words cross the line, then there's gotta be consequences. At the end of the day, like, I really, I don't say much."

"I don't say much. I try to play the game the right way. Yeah, but enough is enough. Like if I feel like you're putting my livelihood and my career and my body in jeopardy, in danger, enough's enough, brother. I have a family to feed. And what makes you laugh can also make you cry sometimes."

It's funny to see two of the biggest names in the sport argue over some on-court squabbles, but it seems both players were really pissed at the other. These aren't unidentifiable role players either. as Giannis and Paul are two of the most well-known players in the league right now.

They'll likely patch up and move on with their respective seasons on teams in opposing conferences. Giannis is averaging 31.8 points, 12.2 rebounds, and 5.9 assists this season as an MVP candidate, while Paul is averaging 9.5 points, 4.2 rebounds, and 8.2 assists and could lose his starting spot to De'Aaron Fox by next week.
