Giannis Antetokounmpo has dealt with his fair share of travel, but even he might just need a passport for this one. The Milwaukee Bucks superstar, already known for taking long strides and longer leaps, added a new highlight (or blooper) to his reel on Tuesday night during Milwaukee’s 121-111 win over the New York Knicks. Midway through the first quarter, Giannis charged down the floor, took on Karl-Anthony Towns, and appeared to take a questionable number of steps before laying the ball in. Nah man Giannis just took 6 steps and it wasn’t called a travel. Referee just watching man I know the ref gambling ? pic.twitter.com/zhXZLNqEOV — Hater Report (@HaterReport_) October 29, 2025 The officials? Silent. Basket? Counted. Even the broadcast booth couldn’t believe it. Reggie Miller, calling the game, laughed in disbelief and quipped to Jamal Crawford that if referees were allowing that kind of leeway, “we might need to come out of retirement.” Naturally, NBA Twitter (or X, if you must) went into meltdown mode, as they found the FBI their next target: the referees.

You miss a call like that? Youre done for the half. @NBA Help!!! — JayTakes (@SportsWithJay0) October 29, 2025 He was traveling more than a commerical pilot — Casey (@CaseyJ_516) October 29, 2025 Still, once the laughter faded, Giannis did what Giannis does: dominate. The Greek Freak finished with a monster 37 points on 16-of-22 shooting, adding eight rebounds, seven assists, and two blocks, as he walked all over the Knicks. The Bucks are now 3-1 in the season. Their next game is on Thursday against the Golden State Warriors.
