The league has rescinded Giannis Antetokounmpo's 10th rebound last night–and thus his triple-double, sources tell ESPN. League rules say that for a field-goal attempt to count as official, the player has to shoot "with intent to score a field-goal" — i.e. to make the shot.

As I figured
Obviously was a genuine attempt by Giannis, needs to be more consistent in the post late game.. shambolic by the league
Day = ruined
Good
#COWARDS
Rule of Cool, let it stand!
Smh my head. This league…
I made the mistake of reading comments and I didn’t know ppl genuinely cared that much 💀 between this, the ladder and the KD skit idk what’s more pathetic from the fake outrages
Giannis’ career in shambles (/sarcasm)

No Fun League… wait
That’s fair, but you can’t see star padded now. 🤣 because he doesn’t have proof
Someone cased in that prop bet ticket in Vegas as fast as they could last night.
It’s beyond funny to me that this is such a talking point rn
And imagine taking this seriously, some comments I’ve seen have just been so sad, we all knew this would get rescinded
I wonder – if he had done the same thing as a member of the Lakers, Nets or Heat would the ruling be the same?
No need to get all bent out of shape over this. Giannis was obviously playing around did it as a joke and it should be treated as such. I doubt he gives a crap about the decision. Good on the league to review and rescind it, shows that they still have common sense.
It was funny but right call.
Pack it up boys. Season’s over. Nothing left to play for. Giannis almost got away with it but alas the league finally caught on to what frauds we all are. Better luck to us next year.
This will boost his percentage of games one short rebound/assist short of triple double stat at least
I mean yeah, that was pretty cheap but funny. What’s funnier though is how many people got their butt plugs all twisted around over it.
How many of LeBron’s points are we rescinding?
