Funny that Giannis gave himself a rebound at the end of the Bucks game for a triple double.

The league rescinded the final rebound Giannis gave himself yesterday effectively taking away his triple double.  AI can't remember seeing this happen before in the NBA but it seems like the right thing to do.  I didn't see anything about rescinding the missed shot though.  Cheesy Probably a good thing for Giannis anyway as it might save him from some criticism for being a stat padder.  Say what you want about Westbrook or Jokic but I don't think this has ever happened to either of them.
It did happen with Westbrook back at OKC. He was mad at Steven Adams (iirc the player) about taking the rebound. He was supposed to take it and receive his triple-double. Another incident is he is forcing someone to shoot it after he passes the ball because he lacks one more assist, he got angry at that time too.
It wasn't between Luka in the first place but was Kyrie at the end of the game but I think it's not something Luka will just pass by considering all that trash talking. I think they have little thing like this with Klay too and I think Booker was a trash talker in the first place. Well, can't say for sure but they have to prove that in the playoffs.
Not new. Booker did the same thing before against Luka, it even went further that even the coaches are getting involved especially, Coach Monty.
Remember, they met last year in the 2nd round of the playoffs where the Mavs won so this rivalry is still there, just sleeping and maybe starting to wake up again.
