Giannis Antetokounmpo has been told there is "something missing in his psyche" after the Milwaukee Bucks' season ended in "epic failure" on Wednesday.
The Bucks were the NBA's best team in the regular season, but a first-round hammering at the hands of Jimmy Butler and the Miami Heat was completed in Wisconsin, with Antetokounmpo ice cold from the free-throw line The "Greek Freek" racked up 38 points and 20 rebounds, but he missed 13 of his 23 free throw attempts at Fiserv Forum.
Butler – who was in historic form throughout the series – went big again with 42 points as he inspired the Heat to a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback to force overtime before snatching a 128-126 victory in game five to clinch the series 4-1 – a huge upset as the number one seed was eliminated by a play-in team.
