Stephen A. Smith has had quite a lot to say about Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks — and they haven’t always been nice. This is exactly why the former back-to-back MVP took full advantage of the opportunity to turn the tables, so to speak, during Stephen A.’s recent guesting on Thanasis Antetokonmpo’s podcast.

Being the sport that he is, Smith reluctantly obliged.
Milwaukee Bucks News: Antetokounmpo Brothers Take on Stephen A. Smith

Thanasis had some big-name guests on the Thanalysis Show recently, which included younger brother Giannis serving as his co-host. At one point, the brothers brought out ESPN analyst Stephen A. Smith for an interview. Little did Smith know that his basketball skills were going to be put to the test live on air:
They already had Stephen A. on the spot, so Giannis decided to go all out. He busted out the free-throw countdown he’s been bombarded with over the past several years as he gave Smith a taste of what it’s like being in the shoes of the Bucks superstar — at a much smaller scale, of course.

To be fair to Smith, he stepped up in the clutch as he drained his free throw in front of a big crowd and with the Antetokounmpo brothers hawking him.
Fun times.
