Milwaukee Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo, Wesley Matthews and Robin Lopez have been engaging in a pregame WWE-style routine for weeks. Giannis and Matthews team up and proceed to beat down Lopez, who at times delivers moves of his own. However, Antetokounmpo stopped Matthews from attacking Lopez before the Bucks vs 76ers game on Christmas. Matthews moved to attack Lopez, but Giannis stops him, asking them to not fight as it is a Christmas game. Lopez and Matthews stop fighting before Matthews backs off and returns with a gift for Lopez. Lopez then hugs Matthews and Giannis before the video ends. The Bucks lost the game to the 76ers 121-109.
