NBA champion and Milwaukee Bucks star player Giannis Antetokounmpo took an opportunity to get some free chicken wings at a recent game when he joined fans in taking a photo of a bar code that will qualify him to get some free Wingstop chicken.
According to Uproxx, there is a promotion going on throughout the NBA season that will “reward” fans who scan
the QR code when an opposing player at the stadium bricks two straight free throws while standing at the charity stripe during the contest. Not one to miss out on a chance for some Wingstop chicken wings, the “Greek Freak” is seen taking a photo of that scan along with perhaps thousands of other basketball fans at Fiserv Forum. This took place on Saturday night, Jan. 27, in Milwaukee.The strange moment occurred near the end of the game in the fourth quarter when New Orleans Pelicans player Naji Marshall missed both opportunities to score at the free throw line. After he misses the second shot,
the camera catches Antetokounmpo on the sideline, running excitedly, looking for a mobile phone to take a photo. He is seen with a phone in hand, snapping the QR code shown on the big screen in the arena.Let’s hope that Antetokounmpo got those wings after the game! Maybe he’ll share them with his new head coach, Doc Rivers, who was hired
to guide him and the team after they fired Adrian Griffin, who led them to a 30-13 record.Several months ago, in October, Antetokounmpo prolonged his deal with the Bucks for an additional three years when he re-upped with the NBA team for a three-year, $186 million contract extension.
