MANILA, Philippines—NBA star Giannis Antetokounmpo is a savage competitor on the court and a comedian outside of it, especially on social media.
Antetokounmpo was at it again Tuesday with his latest comedic act has him, cracking a joke on Kylian Mbappe’s $776 million contract offer by Saudi Arabia’s Al-Hilal.
“Al Hilal you can take me. I look like Kylian Mbappe,” Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks big man, wrote on his social media accounts.

In comparison, Antetokounmpo is in the middle of a five-year supermax contract extension he signed with the Bucks in 2020.
Other NBA players like LeBron James, Draymond Green and Damian Lillard also joined the fun with James even joking about running like the fictional character Forrest Gump when he gets a lucrative offer in Saudi Arabia.
