Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson has responded to the challenge issued by Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo as this NBA star has been putting him on notice as of late.
It all started last week once he called out the former WWE Champion while the NBA star was in the gym with teammate Pat Connaughton.
Get out of the way, @TheRock.

This led to Johnson firing back when he wrote the following on Twitter, “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. #GreekFreak #BloodSweatRespect @Bucks.”

Antetokounmpo would later say that he would “kill” The Rock in a wrestling match during a recent media scrum:
"I smell what @TheRock is cookin! Big fan."

Rock would get the last word in once he wrote this in his latest tweet, “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.”
“I’d kill him” 😂👊🏾
