The debate played out in real time Saturday night after the Lakers’ 119-95 victory in Milwaukee, when Thiero’s Los Angeles teammates tried to collect the game ball for him after he scored the first five points of his career, including a thunderous dunk, in the final minutes of the blowout.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Giannis Antetokounmpo are off to a good start in the league. They have opened the season with a 7-5 record. Antetokounmpo has averaged 33.4 points (first in the league), 11.9 rebounds and 6.2 assists so far.

Giannis Antetokounmpo's humorous post about suiting up for Marquette certainly drew plenty of reaction on social media from fans.

Adou Thiero made his NBA debut in Milwaukee for the Lakers after being out for months with a knee injury. Not only did he score the first point of his career at the free throw line, but he also had his first actual basket on a dunk late in the fourth quarter.
