Bucks’ Giannis Antetokounmpo duped by young Sixers fan seeking autograph

The Sixers ended the Bucks' 16-game win streak

Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo stopped to sign an autograph for a young fan before Saturday’s game against the Philadelphia 76ers, but the wholesome interaction turned out to be something else. 

Two young Bucks fans waited for Antetokounmpo to head back to the locker room to get his autograph on a hat.

But moments later, cameras caught that same fan taking off an Antetokounmpo jersey to reveal a Tyrese Maxey jersey underneath.

The 76ers rallied from an 18-point deficit late in the third quarter to end the Bucks’ 16-game winning streak. Milwaukee had the longest winning streak by any NBA team since the Phoenix Suns had 18 straight victories early last season.
