Giannis Antetokounmpo no longer asks that Bucks employees should work harder: "I said it as a joke, they work hard, they deserve to ask for a raise"

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."
