Pitino tweeted about Petrovic on Wednesday over comments Petrovic made about NBA MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo following Brazil's 79-78 victory over Greece at the FIBA World Cup in Nanjing, China, on Tuesday.."You have a guy who won MVP, he's 23 years old, and who stops him tonight? The guy who is 40 years old and kicks his ass."
is he would never make a comment like that. He carries himself with great humility. Bring it vs NZ big fella!Pitino replied on Twitter, writing"Brazil beats Greece by one at the buzzer and the Coach boasts they kicked the ass of one of the best players on the planet. One of my favorite things about [Giannis] is he would never make a comment like that. He carries himself with great humility.
"When I was preparing this game, a lot of people talked and joked about how to stop Antetokounmpo," added Petrovic."I had for six months in my head, since the semifinals between Toronto and Milwaukee, how to stop Antetokounmpo. The problem tonight for us was [Kostas] Sloukas and [Georgios] Printezis."
Brazil was down by 17 at one point in the first half of the game but managed to cut Greece's lead to 10 around halftime.
