Giannis Antetokounmpo opened media day by singing the punchline to an Obama knock-knock joke

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is simply the best. Opening Monday’s media day, the Bucks forward decided to start his press conference with a joke. It was a very bad joke.

“Knock, knock?”

“Who’s there?”

“Obama.”

“Obama who?”

“OBAMAAAA SELF ....”

You know what ... we’ll allow it. Giannis is one of the most entertaining men in the NBA, he’s on the verge of becoming a bona fide superstar, and he exudes fun. One bad dad joke isn’t enough to turn us against him.

Perhaps the best part was Giannis’ post-joke reaction: “No one laughed ... Jesus Christ.”
