NBA fans all made the same Adrian Griffin joke after Giannis Antetokounmpo drew up a play during a Bucks game

Adrian Griffin Giannis Antetokounmpo Bucks NBA Pistons

The Bucks firing Adrian Griffin seemingly out of nowhere probably shouldn’t be as shocking as it is.

Yes, Milwaukee is 30-13. The Bucks are easily one of the best teams in the Eastern Conference and have two of the best talents in the NBA with Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard. There’s no question that this team is already good as is. But, clearly, the organization didn’t think the team was good enough. That’s why Griffin is out.

It seems like his players might not have thought Griffin was good enough for the job, either?

During the Bucks win over the Pistons on Monday in what turned out to be Griffin’s last game coaching the team, cameras caught Giannis Antetokounmpo actually drawing something up on the sideline.

To be clear, we don’t know what’s going on here or what Giannis is drawing. But it sure seemed like he was drawing a play.

If so? That’s it right there, folks. That’s the moment Adrian Griffin was done. Giannis pulled a move right out of the LeBron James playbook.

We don’t know if it was a play or not, but that didn’t stop Twitter from running with it. Everyone made the same joke about Adrian Griffin after seeing this.
