"Had to foul and still got cooked" - Lakers fans troll Giannis Antetokounmpo after Bronny James puts him 'on skates' 

Bronny James matched up against two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo during Thursday's contest between the LA Lakers and Milwaukee Bucks. With six players out, Bronny got meaningful minutes with the Lakers, who shared the floor with Antetokounmpo. Not just that the duo also went at it in the second quarter after "The Greek Freak" picked up Bronny on the perimeter and the Lakers guard nearly blew by him.

LeBron James' eldest son flashed his dribbling skills and he had Antetokounmpo off balance before the Bucks superstar seemingly fouled him to get away from Bronny finishing the play. The refs didn't call it, though.

Lakers fans still used the opportunity to troll the two-time MVP online. One fan wrote:

Another added:

"That was a foul ngl"

Bronny James reacts to viral play against Giannis Antetokounmpo

Bronny James reacted to his viral play against Giannis Antetokounmpo in Thursday's game. The Lakers rookie gave a rundown of what went through his mind as Antetokounmpo picked him up on the perimeter. Bronny said his goal was to exploit the mismatch and get by the Greek international with his dribble as he couldn't have used his physicality to get past the two-time MVP because of their size difference.

"He's a much bigger guy than me so I just got to find a way to get around him somehow," Bronny said.

The Lakers rookie cheekily pointed out the possibility of being fouled on the play.

"May have gotten fouled, that's up for an argument, but it's what it is I tried to get me a bucket," he added.

It would have added to Bronny James' collection of a highlight-packed game if he finished that play. Bronny finished with 17 points and five assists, leading the team in both categories. It was also his career high.

However, Giannis Antetokounmpo and Co. got the 118-89 win. Antetokounmpo dropped 28 points, seven rebounds, four assists and two steals on 60.0% shooting. The Bucks snapped a two-game losing streak, handing LA its first loss at home in nine games.
