The "Sunday Showcase" game on ABC featuring the Philadelphia 76ers and Milwaukee Bucks has been quite spirited today.
Late in the fourth quarter, the game still very much in doubt, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Ben Simmons took things up a notch.
It started when Giannis dunked over Simmons and called him out.

One play later, off a missed Joel Embiid shot, Simmons slammed home a dunk over Giannis before staring him down and yelling, “let’s go!”

The best part about all this is that both Antetokounmpo and Simmons are so young and appear to be headed toward many, many more of these battles.
