Giannis Antetokounmpo Michael McLoone-USA TODAY Sports

Even the great Giannis Antetokounmpo can fall for pump fakes.

Prior to Saturday’s Milwaukee Bucks-Philadelphia 76ers showdown Bucks star Antetokounmpo autographed a hat for a supposed young Bucks fan. She excitedly scurried away, only to then take off the Bucks jersey and reveal a 76ers jersey underneath. That's the kind of craftiness that even Giannis would appreciate.

Check out the video below:

The undercover Philly fan had a banner evening between the successful autograph finesse and the 76ers' 133-130 defeat of the Bucks to snap Milwaukee's 16-game winning streak.
