Pacers might have given Giannis a fake game ball

So after Giannis went chasing after the game ball down the tunnel, the Pacers finally gave it up. But then Giannis said,


"I have a ball, but I don’t know if it’s the game ball,” Antetokounmpo said. “It doesn’t feel like the game ball to me, it feels like a brand new ball. I can tell. I played 35 minutes today, I know how the game ball felt … I’ve never seen this before."
:lol

Ballgate.

What if they gave him all the balls available in the building? He could select his game ball and be happy ever after. (It's a bitch move to steal his game ball though.)

This begs a question though, who determines who gets a game ball? Is there some sort of gentlemen's rule about it? What makes Giannis have a right to it? Serious question, not a rhetorical one.

I’ Just an understanding. If something special happens, you get the ball. Like in the NFL when somebody throws their hundredth touchdown pass or break some record there’s a guy who goes and gets that ball. But of course the NFL has so many balls at the same time.

I assume it’s an equipment manager who handles that in the nba who just kinda…knows. I doubt there are written rules But if curry has 86 versus the Pacers this year(not out of the question the way they defend and run) they know to put it aside. He might not want it but you put it up just in case.

This is tough and really a matter of perspective, but I personally thing the ball should go to Giannis if he wants it. But I also think that Giannis who has accomplished so much more in his career and has so many more meaningful accolades than 61 points against the Pacers he should let the Rookie keep the ball.

Just my .02

Bucks were home so Giannis should get the ball. Still it would be kinda funny if they gave him a fake one.

[SATAN]

Wouldn't surprise me if Giannis let the guy have the ball had the Pacers actually mentioned it to him.

So much drama in the NBA.

I love it

Being at home basically.

If it was Indy, I could see it.

And one day later the Pacers sign a certified goon in James Johnson. Coincidence?

I would pay to see Giannis storm at the Pacers in a fit of roid rage again and get laid the **** out by Johnson. :roll:

i'd pay a couple grand for a courtside seat to see Z-Bo make a comeback just to lay out the fat b1tch jokic

[Reggie43]

There is video evidence that a bucks staffer secured the game ball right after the buzzer sounded...

I think Giannis has some temper problems.

Giannis scored 64 points , coach Griff told him to play last few minutes so he could break the franchise record.

Dame broke the 3 point record , surpassing Kyle Koever

and then a rookie on Pacers who scored his first points against the bucks in the IN SEASON tourney was the excuse that
pacers gave .... they hate Giannis cause he single handedly kicked their ass.

Assistant coach for the Bucks had the ball, when game was over , a pacer assistant swiped from him.
