Giannis stared down an opposing player for literally half a second after a major dunk. Then he was given his second tech and ejected.

A bad call is one thing. There’s a lot happening on the court and it’s hard to make sure you make the right calls, but this is blatant abuse of power.

The ref gives Giannis a tech, Giannis asks the ref what he did wrong, and the ref walks away in a pout, completely ignoring Giannis, until he turns around and aggressively points at the exit telling Giannis to get off the court.

How can you let such a biased referee stay in the league? He needs to be fired NOW and the NBA needs to make an apology to fans, the bucks, and Giannis.

I enjoy watching Giannis as a player and think hes a great role model in the sport, but i think the tech was reasonable here. His taunt was up in the face of the other team.

The bigger issue is that two techs kick players out of the game. They should just make it 2 FTs if that player gets another tech. Kicking out stars is bad for the game and for the fans
