Pero Antic Accidentally Punches Teammate In The Face
Do you guys remember Pero Antic? The Macedonian big man played for the Atlanta Hawks from 2013 to 2015 and averaged 6.3 points and 3.2 rebounds per game. He now is with the Turkish team Fenerbahçe.
During an EuroLeague game against Anadolu Efes, former NBA player Ekpe Udoh, who also plays for Fenerbahçe, was at the free throw line. He missed his second shot (that’s how we also remember him from his NBA days), but the rebound went out-of-bounds off an Anadolu Efes player, thanks to Antic’s effort. Antic was pumped, turned around and hit his teammate Nikola Kalinic right in the face with a strong right jab.
When you're so happy that you can't control your hands 🙈

That reminds me of Vince Carter, who also almost knocked out Kevin Garnett after his famous Olympic dunk over French center Weis.
