Giannis Antetokounmpo was blown away by the kindness of a child. He taught him how to dip his Oreos into milk and continued this feat for two minutes at a post-game press conference.
“The Greek Freak”On Wednesday, he tweeted that a child had taught him about the joys in dipping his cookies into milk.
After Giannis’ Milwaukee Bucks beat the Detroit Pistons by 114 to 93 on Thursday, Stephen Watson asked Watson if he would enjoy his new treat as part his Thanksgiving dinner.
“I have to ask, Oreos and milk on the Thanksgiving menu?” — Watson said.
Giannis was clearly excited at the question and replied: “Wait, let’s talk about that a little bit.”
The two-time MVP then began to talk for 120 seconds about his love for Oreos and new way of eating them.
He first described how the trick was taught to him during a commercial shoot before describing how he discovered the cookie for the first time.
“When I came to the league, that was the first thing that I ate because when I was younger I was always craving them, but could never afford them,”Giannis, a Greek-born child, stated.

“So I was like, I’m gonna make a little bit of money. People spend money on cars and chains, I’m gonna buy Oreos.
“They were delicious and I enjoyed them for almost a whole month. No dinner, no lunch, no nothing. You’d think I was sick of them. But they’re still there.
“So [the kid] was like, ‘have you ever dunked them in milk?’ I was like, ‘no.’ He was like, ‘you should try that!'”
Antetokounmpo was armed with the knowledge of how to increase his Oreo-consumption. However, he proved too eager to try and do it all.

Antetokounmpo was amazed when he found his treat and used a spoon to retrieve it.
“I was like, ‘what the hell? No frickin’ way.’ He was like, ‘you like them?’ I was like, ‘bro, this is amazing.’ Obviously I didn’t have one. I had like twelve of them,”He said.
“Then I went back home and was like ‘Mariah [his girlfriend], why did you not tell me that you can throw the Oreos in milk and eat them?’ She told me she doesn’t like her Oreos like that. She likes them plain with no milk and all that.
“It was then that I realized it would be a regular nighttime snack for me.
