Giannis Antetokounmpo is having quite a season for the Milwaukee Bucks, so the last thing other teams in the NBA’s Eastern Conference need is him to get some workout pointers from one of the most buff men in Hollywood.
And yet, it seems like The Rock is destined to head to Wisconsin to do just that. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has many fans among the NBA, but perhaps none bigger than The Greek Freak, who managed to get the wrestler and movie star’s attention this week when he said he’d destroy him in a wrestling match.
Antetokounmpo was joking, but he sang the wrestler’s praises in a session with the media where he was asked if he would like to go one on one with the great one.
"I smell what @TheRock is cookin! Big fan."

“Definitely I smell what The Rock is cooking. Big fan,” Giannis said. “Hopefully we can get him to Milwaukee and get a workout in.”
Antetokounmpo later joked that he would “kill him” if they were to hop into the ring together, and that’s not a terrible prediction given how tall and strong Giannis is. But that joke did draw The Rock’s attention on Twitter, and he accepted the offer to “get a work out in and enjoy some tequila after.”
“I’d kill him” 😂👊🏾
Love this dude. It’s why he’s an @NBA beast & the Bucks are #1 in the E.
But you don’t want this smoke, cuz I will slap your lips off into next week, son.
And by that I mean, let’s just get a workout in and enjoy some tequila after 😂🙏🏾👊🏾. https://t.co/gZcElqPYLd— Dwayne Johnson (@TheRock) January 5, 2019
That’s a much better option than the latter: Hopping into the ring with Johnson and getting your lips smacked off. Yes, definitely go with the one that includes tequila, Giannis.
