There are not many players in the NBA with so much shoulder pressure as Yannis Antecompo. Just a month after signing the new $ 228 million contract in Milwaukee, the club’s big star continues to prove there is someone to go into battle with, at least in the regular season. Tonight (Friday-Saturday), Antecompo led the Bucks with 31 points to a 109-112 victory over the Europeans against Luca Doncic and Dallas.

“Yannis is just a special special player,” the Mavericks coach said Rick Carlisle At the end of the game. “We’ve never seen a player like him. A 2.11-foot-tall player who does the things he does, with the ability to maintain each of the five positions. He’s tremendous, that’s the only thing I can say.” As you may recall, even before Yannis took the pen out of his pocket, all sorts of speculations were circulating that the Greek would team up with Luca and Christopher Forzingis in Dallas.

Despite the compliments and the fourth straight win, Antecompo was unhappy at the end of the game. The forward recorded a poor evening at a historic level from the penalty line, with 0-of-7 in the fourth quarter and 1-of-10 throughout the game. After the aftermath of the game, Yannis returned to the floor, or rather the penalty line, to improve that part of his arsenal, which is known to be lacking.

Since the start of last season, Antecompo has missed 282 free throws, with the next on the list being Rudy Gover with 175 fouls. He is also only the fourth player in the last 25 years to score 10% from the line in the game (minimum 10 shots), and the first in Milwaukee’s history.
