Like the dedicated player he is, after he game he came back out to the court wanting to get some extra shots up. The problem was they were already getting ready to start taking down the rim. There was large ladder in Giannis’ way, and it seemed like the arena staff didn’t want to move it. As result Giannis pushed the ladder, and loud thud filled arena as it hit the floor. Luckily it didn’t land on anyone, because it might have caused a serious injury.
