The year 2021 belonged to the heroism of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks. Ahead of the 2020-21 season, the Bucks were certain about staying a top-three team, but winning the whole thing was something unimaginable. And yet, somehow, the NBA 2K team thought they didn’t deserve a place in their latest trailer.
Watch What’s Trending Now!
Yes, the recently launched NBA2K22 gameplay trailer has completely rejected the Bucks and Co. This dismissal of the reigning NBA champions did not go well with the fans and attracted strong reactions.
Twitter went crazy over the NBA2K’s insult of Milwaukee Bucks
The NBA2K22 trailer started with Devin Booker and that just worsened their case. How could they include DBook & Chris Paul from the losing team and turn a blind eye towards the winners?
The otherwise appealing video covered Steph Curry staring at Ja Morant, Zion Williamson beating his chest, Russell Westbrook in the Lakers jersey, Kevin Durant with a poster dunk, and other stars. It also housed WNBA’s Candace Parker, Joel Embiid’s animated block, Trae Young‘s ice-cold three, and Anthony Davis’s crazy assist.
But the surprising factor was the inclusion of Cade Cunningham, LaMelo Ball & Kelly Oubre Jr while rejecting the Bucks’ trio altogether. To sum up, it was a grave mistake. Take a look at how Twitter reacted to it –
Cade got more screentime in the 2k gameplay trailer than Giannis. The people have chosen their next champion
Not one clip of Giannis and the Bucks. 2k stay trash…
No Giannis or Jokic in the trailer smh And they did Cade dirty with this 😭😭 2K on their bullshit again ♻️♻️
No Bucks in the trailer and they world champs.. lol Lamelo Ball getting more run than Giannis is some shit
The reigning NBA champs, y'know, the Milwaukee Bucks, don't appear in NBA 2K's first gameplay trailer. At all. But both Chris Paul and Devin Booker are in it, from the losers of the Finals. The disrespect.
Where the hell are the @Bucks or any of the players from the team like Oh IDK, MVP @Giannis_An34 ?!?! I bet the Bucks and Giannis said no. They're like naw we're over here winning and working. You go take some videos guys, we good. #BucksInSix
Excuse me, but not a SINGLE @Bucks , (THE REIGNING NBA CHAMPIONS - in case ya'll forgot) clip? Meanwhile you got multiple clips of a bargain bin Cade Cunningham
Clowns. Not a single “highlight” from the @Bucks or @Giannis_An34 …. Classic

When Giannis Antetokounmpo felt honored by NBA2K
Back in 2019, the Greek Freak was the cover athlete of the NBA2K. In fact, the cover design had everything that was personal and important for the Milwaukee hero. It talked about his love for his brothers, mother Veronica, father Charles, and his loyalty, among other things.
Watch how an elated Giannis had then accepted the honor in an interview –
But surprisingly, the NBA 2K22 team thought they can now reject the case of a 2x MVP, a former DPOY, All-Star hero, a current champion, and an FMVP. So what do you think, should the NBA2K add the Bucks and release an updated video? Help us know in the comments section below.
