Giannis Antetokounmpo can’t help but respect Sylvester Stallone for scaring off daughter’s boyfriend after he went to shake his hand

On Thursday, Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was seen siding with Sylvester Stallone after it was revealed he once scared off his daughter's boyfriend. The forward couldn't help but respect the movie star for scaring off his daughter's partner, who tried to shake his hand. The Greek Freak acknowledged the gesture by Stallone, as he vowed to do the same one day.

Antetokounmpo's response stemmed from a snippet shared on Instagram by a handle named alphamotivation0. The account reshared a snippet from Sophia and Sistine Stallone's podcast 'Unwaxed', which featured their father. The clip showed the daughters reminiscing over a moment where Sylvester Stallone scared off Sophia's boyfriend.

"I brought my high school boyfriend over for the first time, meeting the parents, and do you remember what you did when you shook his hand? You were tight, you gripped it ... and after you said. Next time, shake my hand like a man," she recalled.

This tactic by Stallone seemed to inspire the Bucks star, who was seen commenting on the post.

"Try me💯🙃," he wrote.

The forward later reposted the clip on his story, as he couldn't help but respect Stallone for his protective gesture.

"Me in 20 years 💯," he captioned the story.

Antetokounmpo has three children with his wife Mariah Riddlesprigge: sons Liam and Maverick Shay, and daughter Eva Brooke.
