Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo celebrated the team’s big victory with a morning breakfast of 50 chicken nuggets. You can watch the video, which even Giannis himself admitted was pretty funny.
The team revealed the big order from Chick-fil-A on its Twitter page, and Giannis streamed the whole thing on Instagram.
The Bucks wrote on Twitter, “Giannis woke up like this: ordered 50 piece nuggets & kept the trophy overnight. 🤣🤣🤣 Keep the trophy safe until tomorrow, @Giannis_An34!”

Giannis, of course, had a lot of reasons to celebrate. He went to the Chick-fil-A restaurant in nearby Brookfield, Wisconsin, carrying the Larry O’Brien Trophy and the Bill Russell Finals MVP awards on his lap with him, videos show. According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Antetokuonmpo “tried negotiating for free Chick-Fil-A for life and started a ‘Bucks in 6’ chant with stunned fans who realized Giannis was in the car.”

“That’s why I signed in Milwaukee, so I can get free Chick-Fil-A for life,” Giannis said at one point in the video. “Hey, right now, I’m putting you guys on the spot,” he said to an employee at the drive-thru window. “Free Chick-Fil-A for life?”
