NBA Should Overturn Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Lame Triple-Double

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the best basketball players in the world and seems to be a really good human being, too, which is always nice. 

But what he did at the end of Sunday’s Bucks-Wizards game was a pretty lame, and the NBA should take action on it and strike the big man’s triple-double from the books.
