Watch: Marv Albert butchers Giannis' name throughout ASG
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports / Reuters
There's a lot to like about Giannis Antetokounmpo. The degree of difficulty of saying (and spelling) his name isn't one of them.
Marv Albert was tasked with calling Sunday's All-Star Game, and boy did he struggle with the pronunciation of the Milwaukee Bucks phenom's last name.
It didn't help that the Greek Freak played well and gave the broadcaster many reasons to mention him. Antetokounmpo finished with a team-high 30 points on just 17 shots in 22 minutes for the East, which fell 192-182 to the West.
