The Greek Freak, true to his name, gave him a little freaky look and added admiration. They met near the bench, shook hands, and Giannis grinned broadly, a moment that quickly went viral online. Fans clipped and shared the exchange within minutes, turning it into one of the night’s meme-worthy highlights.

The Bucks brought Thomas on board last week after he was waived by the Nets, looking for a scoring boost and some relief for their offense. On Wednesday, he proved why they made the addition.

Cam Thomas providing Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks with a must-needed boost

Cam Thomas and the Bucks went through long stretches without scoring, including a span of more than five minutes without a field goal, but the newest member of the Buck kept the offense alive.

After a slow 1-for-5 start in the first quarter, he found his rhythm and attacked the basket. He added eight points in the fourth, pulled down four rebounds, recorded two assists, and finished plus-6 in 25 minutes off the bench.

Thomas earned his reputation in Brooklyn as a fearless scorer who steps up in clutch situations, and he brought that same approach to Milwaukee. His late three-pointer did more than lock in the win, it energized a team that had been searching for a boost.

Giannis’ reaction stood out because it reflected more than just celebration. It showed trust and belief. Milwaukee improved to 22-30, still 12th in the Eastern Conference and outside the playoff picture, with a difficult road ahead. Still, Wednesday night had a different energy. The Bucks closed a tight game against a team above .500 with composure and precise shooting.
