Sitting courtside at an NBA game isn’t cheap. With that in mind, it is safe to say this fan got his Milwaukee Bucks fan got his money’s worth when he attended their game against the Detroit Pistons. Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo was ejected early in the second after receiving his second technical foul and this fan got a priceless video of Antetokounmpo reacting and taking a seat alongside him in the stands in frustration.
This fan may have the greatest courtside video ever 😂🔥

Antetokounmpo was seen taunting after throwing down a thunderous dunk over Pistons center Isaiah Stewart and was issued his second unsportsmanlike technical foul shortly thereafter, ending his night after playing just 22 minutes.
Antetokounmpo had 15 points on 6-of-16 shooting with nine rebounds, five assists, and three blocks before his ejection. The Bucks were up 13 in the game before the Pistons regained the lead and were up five points heading into the fourth quarter.
The Bucks found a way to overcome a double-digit fourth-quarter deficit to win despite Antetokounmpo missing the majority of the second half. Damian Lillard, who the Bucks acquired in a massive blockbuster trade this offseason with the Portland Trail Blazers, willed the team to victory.
Lillard scored 34 points and added three assists, two rebounds, and three steals. He was acquired not only to win games with Antetokounmpo but to elevate the team in his own right when/if the latter isn’t available and/or struggling.
The fan who got to sit courtside with Antetokounmpo briefly also saw the Bucks win at the end of the game. Moments like this are the ultimate fan experience and why sitting courtside at games can be so costly.
