In the latest showdown between the Orlando Magic and the Milwaukee Bucks during the regular season, the Magic asserted their dominance while the Bucks found themselves in an amusing situation. The intensity of the game briefly took a lighter turn when the Bucks’ Thanasis Antetokounmpo attempted to inject some joviality.

In the dwindling seconds of the final quarter, Thanasis made a bold move, receiving a pass in an open space after a rebound. Presented with a clear opportunity near the basket, he went for a dunk. However, instead of tension, the Magic bench erupted into laughter as the ball failed to pass through the hoop, bouncing off the rim. Adding to the amusement, Thanasis managed only two points and an assist in his seven minutes of play.

Thanasis’s blunder garnered more attention than the Bucks’ disappointing 113-88 defeat. The video swiftly circulated on social media, prompting NBA fans to once again poke fun at Thanasis.
