NBA MVP trolls Nick Kyrgios with brutal message

There are no more Grand Slams for the year.
The NBA schedule has also come to an end for 2020 after a break in due to the coronavirus pandemic, which allowed the tennis star and Antetokounmpo to meet up for some fun.
Pole vault star Emmanuel Karalis also joined for some laugh, which prompted Antetokounmpo to label them ‘The Three Musketeers’.
But during the night, Tsitsipas found out the MVP’s favourite tennis player and decided to troll fellow joker and NBA fan Kyrgios in a video.
“Nick, you were my favourite tennis athlete ... but now it's Nadal because I just love him," Antetokounmpo said.
Tsitsipas, who has shared a few jokes with Kyrgios through social media in lockdown, couldn’t help but share a wry smile.
