<p><strong>Giannis Antetokounmpo</strong> wasn&#8217;t having any part of this reporter&#8217;s question after being asked about the <strong>Milwaukee Bucks</strong> season.</p>
<p>The question came following the Bucks and Miami Heat game on Wednesday (April 26) night.</p>

<p>Giannis snapped at a reporter who asked if the season was a failure because the Bucks went from the top seed in the Eastern Conference to a 4-1 first-round loser. The status changed after the Bucks lost Wednesday&#8217;s game 128-126.</p>
<blockquote><p>“It’s not a failure,” Antetokounmpo said in a <a href="https://twitter.com/NBATV/status/1651459301469306881" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a> tweeted by NBA TV. &#8220;It&#8217;s steps to success. There’s always steps to it. Michael Jordan played 15 years, won six championships, The other nine years [were] a failure? That’s what you’re telling me?</p></blockquote>
<p>He continued:<em> &#8220;&#8230; It&#8217;s the wrong question. There&#8217;s no failure in sports. There&#8217;s good days, bad days. Some days you&#8217;re successful, some days you&#8217;re not. Some days it&#8217;s your turn, some days it&#8217;s not your turn.&#8221;</em></p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">Expectations For Milwaukee Ran High This Season Following 2021 NBA Championship Victory</h3>
<p>He said that losing is a part of the sport and seemingly didn&#8217;t place much stock in his team&#8217;s losing playoff performances.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;And that’s what sports is about. You don’t always win. Sometimes other people win. And this year, somebody else is going to win, simple as that.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Giannis made 38 points (14-27 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 10-23 FT), 20 rebounds, and three assists across 42 minutes during Wednesday&#8217;s overtime <a href="https://www.espn.com/nba/player/_/id/3032977/giannisantetokounmpo" target="_blank" rel="noopener">loss to Miami</a> in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals, per <em>ESPN</em>.</p>
<p>Expectations were high going into the 2023 playoffs for Giannis and the Bucks, who were just two years removed from <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/milwaukee-bucks-win-the-2021-nba-championship-earning-their-first-title-in-50-years/?_gl=1*niskgj*_up*MQ..*_ga*ODc4MTg0NjI0LjE2ODI3MDQxODk.*_ga_V2HX8YP3XL*MTY4MjcwNDE4Ny4xLjEuMTY4MjcwNTMxOC4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noopener">winning their first NBA championship</a> in 50 years in 2021, as reported by <strong><em>The Shade Room</em></strong> at the time.</p>

<p>That year, the Milwaukee Bucks beat the Phoenix Suns in Game 6 of the NBA Finals to snatch the championship.</p>
<p>With a <a class="ProsemirrorEditor-link" href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/sports/milwaukee-bucks-beat-phoenix-suns-win-nba-championship-after-50-n1274574">final score</a> of 105 to 98, the Milwaukee Bucks did what many believed was impossible&#8211;winning their very first NBA Championship since 1971.</p>
<p>The Bucks claimed the trophy with the help of Giannis, their superstar player, who scored a massive 50 points during the game. He also earned 14 rebounds and five blocked shots.</p>
