Disrespectful or fun? The Grizzlies' bench did the wave with fans while blowing out the Bucks

Did you do a double-take when you saw the score of Thursday’s Memphis Grizzlies win over the Milwaukee Bucks?

Yep, the Griz win 142-101. And Giannis Antetokounmpo was indeed playing.

That’s wild, isn’t it? And what’s wilder is the bench saw fans at the FedEx Forum doing the wave (which can distract head coaches in sports from time to time) … and they decided to join in.

Now, you could consider that disrespectful. I get that! But if you’re the Greek Freak and the Bucks and you’re getting completely blown out, a team might use that opportunity to have some fun.

That said, if another team blows out the Grizzlies and decides to make fun of this, that’s also totally fine.

So, yeah, I love this:
