Giannis Antetokounmpo became a fan of corndogs after trying them in 2018 as part of his snack reviews on Twitter. However, the two-time MVP was no match for the corndog made by teammate Serge Ibaka. Antetokounmpo freaked out when Ibaka presented him with lamb tongue corndogs.
On a recent episode of Ibaka's "How Hungry Are You" show, "The Greek Freak" was presented with a unique corndog. Ibaka prepared the food, but instead of sausage, it was made with lamb tongue. Antetokounmpo tried to reason with his teammate, but had no choice but to try it.
"How do I know the lamb was brushing its teeth?" Antetokounmpo said. "How do I know that? Do they even brush? What do they eat? What do lamb eat? Grass?"

Antetokounmpo first tried corndogs in the 2018 offseason, and he liked it. The Bucks superstar also tried other American foods such as Kool Aid and Funyuns during that time.
Lamb tongue corndogs were not the only food Serge Ibaka made for Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ibaka also prepared a spicy cricket tea, which was used for the "Spicy Questions" segment of the interview.
Ibaka asked Antetokounmpo easy questions to start the segment. He had to drink the tea because "The Greek Freak" answered the questions.
However, Ibaka turned it on a few moments later and Antetokounmpo refused to answer tough questions. The punishment? The two-time MVP had to sip a mouthful of cricket tea.
Some of the questions Ibaka asked were about choosing between Nigeria and Greece, playing for a different team other than the Milwaukee Bucks, and choosing his favorite sibling. Despite not favoring any of his brothers, his favorite teammate is Thanasis.
"Thanasis is my favorite teammate," Antetokounmpo said. "He always smiles, he's full of energy, and he's always there for you. He doesn't care how much he plays. He's one of the best teammates I've ever had and he's my brother. It's amazing."
Giannis Antetokounmpo could win his third MVP this season
Giannis Antetokounmpo is one of the leading candidates to win the MVP this season. Antetokounmpo led the Milwaukee Bucks to nine straight wins to start the season with a current record of 10-3. He's averaging 31.3 points, 11.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, 1.1 steals and 1.3 blocks.
Antetokounmpo needed to carry the Bucks because their second-best player, Khris Middleton, is still out due to injury. "The Greek Freak" is currently ahead of Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum, Donovan Mitchell and Ja Morant in the latest MVP rankings by NBA.com.
But if Antetokounmpo wants to win his third MVP, he will need to stay healthy. He's already missed three games due to a sore knee. He also twisted his ankle in the Bucks' loss to the Atlanta Hawks last Monday.
