Giannis Antetokounmpo Roasts Khris Middleton: “He Moves Like A Turtle”

Following the Milwaukee Bucks’ 123-109 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers, Giannis Antetokounmpo couldn’t resist poking fun at his teammate Khris Middleton for his pace on the court. During a postgame interview, Giannis humorously compared Middleton’s speed to that of a turtle.

“You have to, he’s like overcompensating because he moves like a turtle,” Giannis joked. “We have to move faster for him, you know, defensively and offensively. So it’s just a habit that we form as a team. We know Khris is not going to move as fast. When he’s trying to move fast, he’s a little bit faster than a turtle. So we just have to do that extra work for him. Khris knows.”

The playful jab highlights the bond between Giannis and Middleton, who have been teammates since 2013. Despite Middleton’s reduced speed due to injuries and the natural aging process, he continues to be a valuable asset to the team with his basketball IQ and shooting.

Middleton, now 33, has transitioned to a bench role but remains a key contributor, providing steady leadership and clutch shooting.
