“One thing I will say is that I believe I am humble in victory,” Antetocounmpo said in a sluggish answer to the question of a journalist about the matter. “I’m like that. There’s probably a lot of people out there like, ‘No, when you win the game, you have to talk to —. It’s a green light not to respect yourself to someone else. “I don’t agree.

“Losing the game, the emotions ran high, having fans – which, at this point, I thought he was a fan, but then I realized that it was Tyrese’s dad. I love Tyrese, I think he’s a great competitor. [He was] Entering the field and showing a towel with his son’s face [saying]”This is what we do, this is what we do, this is what we do.” I feel that it is very, very disrespect.

“I’m happy to be happy for my son – so you need to feel. But coming to me and disrespecting me and swearing in me I think it’s completely unacceptable. Totally unacceptable. I’m not a guy who points to my fingers, because in my neighborhood, killers, we find them and we don’t want to punish something.”

Antetokounmpo also mentioned his late father Charles, who he said he had taught him humility.

“My father entered the family room and was the most important person ever,” Antetocounmpo said. “When you come from anything and work all your life to sell things on the street and have your whole life afraid that the police deport you and send you back to your country and have to protect your children, you create this mentality to be humble all your life, not to respect anyone, not to do emotions, so someone can spoil you or say something bad.”

The younger Haliburton asked his father’s actions after the game, and he is on Antetocounmpo’s side of the argument.

“I disagree with what’s showing him there. I think basketball is basketball and let him hold her on the field. I think he was just excited that his son made the winner of the game, he came to the field. We had a conversation and I just think I should let play basketball, stay there. I’ll come to him to celebrate. And I thought he got emotions there.”
