Milwaukee Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo saluted Manchester City star Erling Haaland after the club collected its fourth straight Premier League title Sunday.
Antetokounmpo also showed off the soccer boots he received from Haaland, saying they “will definitely help me score goals.”

Haaland was merely returning the favor after the two-time NBA champion shipped him a pair of his signature Nike sneakers in October.
The City striker had plenty to celebrate Sunday.
A 3-1 victory over West Ham United kept the club two points clear of Arsenal on the final day of the season. Haaland was the Premier League’s Golden Boot winner for the second successive season as well. He finished with 27 goals in 31 matches, putting him well clear of Chelsea’s Cole Palmer (22 goals).
Before shifting his focus to his burgeoning basketball career, Antetokounmpo supported Arsenal and idolized Gunners legend Thierry Henry. Clearly his allegiances have shifted a bit.
