The Rock accepts Giannis' workout offer
Professional wrestling legend and movie star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson accepted Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo's workout offer after laughing off the Greek Freak's "threat" to beat him in a wrestling match.
“I’d kill him” 😂👊🏾

Love this dude. It’s why he’s an @NBA beast & the Bucks are #1 in the E.
But you don’t want this smoke, cuz I will slap your lips off into next week, son.
And by that I mean, let’s just get a workout in and enjoy some tequila after 😂🙏🏾👊🏾. https://t.co/gZcElqPYLd
Antetokounmpo jokingly told reporters "I'd kill him" when asked Friday how he'd fare in a wrestling match with Johnson.
The two-time All-Star initially started the dialogue with "The Rock" in December when he and teammate Pat Connaughton challenged Johnson to lift more than them.
Haha just seeing this. My boys here are stroooong!! Good to see you’re bringing my Iron Paradise to the @NBA. It’s why you’re #1 in the East. @Giannis_An34 might be bionic.
