It looks like Giannis has taken his dislike for James Harden to a dangerous level.
The Milwaukee Bucks star made it clear during the All-star selection show that he wanted a player on his team who likes to pass, so he passed on the Houston Rockets star and selected Kemba Walker instead.
On speaking about his team’s plan for last night’s game in Chicago, he said the team would pass the ball to whoever Harden was guarding due to his lack of defense.
“Offensively, we were just trying to find whoever James Harden was guarding. That’s who we thought we had an opportunity to score on.”
Team LeBron outscored Team Giannis 33-22 in the fourth to earn a 157-155 win. Harden was actually the only Team LeBron starter to have a positive plus-minus rating (plus-three) as well.
During the game, someone noticed he actually tried hurting Harden by appearing to throw a dirty elbow to his face.

One only wonders if Giannis is harboring ill-will towards him after Harden said the media’s “narrative” affected the vote as Antetokounmpo won his first-ever MVP.
“Once the media creates a narrative about somebody from the beginning of the year, I think they just take that narrative and run with it the entire year,” Harden said on 97.9 The Box in Houston. “All I can do is control what I can do, and I went out there and did what I was supposed to do at a high level.”
Harden finished second in the MVP voting.
