Giannis Antetokounmpo just couldn't wait to get back on the court.
The Bucks star didn't seem to care that rapper Ja Rule was in the middle of a halftime performance during Saturday's game against the Timberwolves to help Milwaukee celebrate its "90’s night" theme and started warming up for the second half before the artist even finished his act.
There’s a good 3.5 minutes left of halftime, Ja Rule is mid-song and Giannis is already out shooting. pic.twitter.com/sPoyVnpI7x — Malika Andrews (@malika_andrews) February 24, 2019

“They said this was Nineties night, so they brought out a 2000s artist,” Ja Rule said to the awkwardly silent crowd. “But my album came out in ’99 so I guess that counts.”
The Timberwolves also had their fun with Ja Rule, who later cursed Minnesota.

But Ja Rule, a recent co-star in a pair of Fyre Festival documentaries, had a sense of humor about his appearance.
The Bucks went on to rout the Timberwolves, 140-128.
Antetokounmpo finished with 27 points on 9-of-16 shooting.
