Giannis Antetokounmpo Claims He Was 'Hacked' After Viral NBA All-Star Post

As a matter of fact, Antetokounmpo was so impressed by McClung's performance that he decided to declare his intention to take part in the NBA Dunk Contest sometime in the future. 

Giannis, who had to give up his spot in the NBA All-Star Game on Sunday due to a calf injury, made his decision after seeing Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant hinting atpotentially participating in the NBA Dunk Contest. 

"If you do it. I’ll do it with you " Antetokounmpo replied to Morant's post. 

Antetokounmpo's post went completely viral, amassing over 8.8 million views as of writing. 

Giannis was then asked by reporters to clarify his comments on Sunday, which prompted the eight-time All-Star to make a stunning revelation. 

“I got hacked last night," he said. "That wasn't me, that was my kids tweeting.  

"... They came next to my nightstand, took my phone out of my charger, went to their room, tweeted, and I found out this morning.” 

Giannis smiled slyly as he revealed how he was supposedly hacked, which could lead you to believe that he was joking. After all, Antetokounmpo's three kids are aged 5, 3, and 1, and it is unclear if they are actually capable of "hacking" their dad's phone. 

At this point, the fans will have to wait and see if Giannis is actually serious about potentially challenging McClung for his crown in next year's NBA Dunk Contest.
