The Milwaukee Bucks star power forward Giannis Antetokounmpo has jokingly mocked his own comments regarding the equipment staff.

Back in January, the 29-year-old ranted not only on his teammates but also on the equipment staff for not doing their job properly. Antetokounmpo was recently quoted in a report where he mocked his comments regarding the equipment staff.

"You know two months ago I said how everybody got to do a better job," said Antetotkounmpo. "Even the equipment manager got to do a better job. I got to take it back. They've been unbelievable in the last three months. Even though I said they have to do a better job jokingly, now they've got to got back to the teams and to their organization and ask for a raise."

The Athens-born is having a fabulous season where he is contributing 30.7 points per game, third-most by any player in the competition. That’s not it as he is also contributing 11.2 rebounds (sixth-best in the league) and 6.3 assists per game.

In his most recent outing against the Charlotte Hornets, Antetokounmpo contributed 24 points to go with 10 rebounds and five assists. His best outing this season came in the match against the Indian Pacers where he registered 64 points to go with 14 rebounds and three assists.
