Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was not in a very pleasant mood after getting shown up by New York Knicks forward Mario Hezonja on Saturday night.

The 23-year-old Croatian, whose only points on the night came in the form of a thunderous dunk over The Greek Freak, proceeded to step over Antetokounmpo Iverson style while the opposing forward attempted to get up.

The Bucks big man did not appreciate the move and was seething after the marginal, 136-134 loss to the Knicks. He even threatened to punch Hezonja in what should be his weakest spot if it ever happens again.

"I'm going to punch him in the (groin) next time,'' said the star, who had 33 points and 19 rebounds in the overtime loss.

The defeat leaves the Bucks with a 15-7 record ahead of Wednesday's showdown with the Detroit Pistons. And they're now four games behind Eastern Conference leaders Toronto.

New York, meanwhile, is sitting in 12th place after losing 16 of their first 24 games. Hezonja, however, had some words for teams visiting the Madison Square Garden this season, following his dunk over Antetokounmpo.

"Honestly, if you're afraid, this is not for you," he said. "I don't want to be disrespectful, but if you feel fear, this is not the place for you. New York is not a place for you, and this team is not a place for you."

The 23-year-old was unaware of Giannis' comments when he said the above, so it's possible there was a bit more to say after he learned that there's a punch in store for him.

What This Means

Mostly that Antetokounmpo is willing to risk a hefty fine and a suspension if he feels disrespected.

Hezonja, meanwhile, has earned a bit of fame because of his nasty dunk and Iversonesque step-over. He probably won't be trying it on The Greek Freak again, however.
