Giannis Tip-In Beats Boston, Taco Wait Beats Giannis
This is apparently what happens when you don't announce you're going to Disney World.
Then again, it was only a first-round playoff victory.
The Milwaukee Bucks' very own Greek Freak -- Giannis Antetokounmpo -- had just completed an awesome night on the court by tipping in the game winner to cap a 104-102 effort that evened their series with Boston at two games apiece.
A dude could work up a powerful hunger after all that.
Giannis certainly did, feeling the need for fare from south of the border.
No, not Illinois.
Nothing, if you're into deep dish pizza.
Otherwise, build that wall!
Giannis was thinking much farther south, where men are men, tortillas are done right, and agave is abundant.
Only one problem. The line may have been short at his chosen taco joint, but ...
At @BelAirCantina on water street and just watched @Giannis_An34 wait for a table for 10 minutes and no one helped him so he left... Dude just won Milwaukee a playoff game! Get him some service pic.twitter.com/hcjsJfThiA

On the bright side, maybe he's lucky he didn't choose a Starbucks.
Seems like Giannis picked the only restaurant in Milwaukee that saw a really tall, humble, well-dressed black dude and couldn't put two and two together.
Oh yeah. It got pretty heated actually. A few patrons started yelling for someone to get him a table

But hell, if they gonna ignore a dude who coulda bought the entire restaurant chain with dosh from his front pocket, time to go.
You’d think if someone mentioned, “That tall gentleman makes $22 million per year,” they’d have found time to seat him

If anything came outta this oversight, it's the chain bending over backwards to atone for their gaffe. After apologizing management's offering a free taco with purchase on Friday if the Bucks wrap up the series on Thursday night.
Meanwhile, Giannis wound up settling for pizza, so about that Wisconsin-Illinois border thing ...
Those things never work, anyway.
