Antetokounmpo issues warning to Knicks' Hezonja following step-over
Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo wasn't pleased when New York Knicks small forward Mario Hezonja stepped over him à la Allen Iverson following a dunk in Saturday night's 136-134 overtime defeat.

The "Greek Freak" pulled no punches when asked post-game if he was bothered by the incident.
"Yes. I'm going to punch him in the n--s next time," said Antetokounmpo, according to Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo Sports.
Hezonja apparently felt no guilt over his actions.
"Honestly, if you’re afraid, this is not for you. I don’t want to be disrespectful, but if you feel fear this is not the place for you, New York is not a place for you and this team is not a place for you," said Hezonja, according to Steve Popper of Newsday Sports.
Antetokounmpo finished the game with 33 points, 19 boards, seven assists, and three steals in a losing cause.
