For participating in the challenge, one has to make a pun before running away. Giannis Antetokounmpo starts his video from a chair, where he makes a Hannah Montana pun, before getting up while running away from the camera. Fans loved Giannis Antetokounmpo's version of the challenge, especially since the Bucks star is known to love cracking dad jokes.

Giannis Antetokounmpo is currently preparing for the NBA restart at Walt Disney World in Orlando, which is scheduled to start on July 30. Giannis, who is once again in contention for the NBA MVP award, led the Bucks to a league-leading 53-12 win-loss record. Before the season was suspended on March 11, Giannis was averaging 29.6 points and 13.7 rebounds per game.

Before the games were suspended, Giannis was already sitting out due to a sprained knee. Some reports also stated that the player would be out for multiple weeks, which would give LeBron James the edge for becoming the MVP. However, coach Mike Budenholzer recently revealed that the 25-year-old star was 'completely and totally healthy', which is only an advantage for the Bucks.
