How did Giannis lose this challenge?

Tristan isn’t your average hooper.

He’s been uploading videos on YouTube for years and has gone viral for his ridiculous trick shots, dribbling skills, and shooting.

In Mr. Beast’s newest video, he took on the Bucks’ star in a basketball challenge.

This challenge consisted of who could make a layup, free throw, three pointer, and half-court shot the quickest.

Both made their layups quickly, but the issue for Giannis ironically came at the free-throw line.

A career 69.3 FT% for Giannis proved to hurt him in this challenge as the two contestants raced to win $100k.

It only took a couple of attempts from half-court for Tristan to nail the shot and win the prize.
