The NBA Has A Spelling Problem

You’ve done it before. You’re trying to talk about that awesome new rising star for the Milwaukee Bucks on social media and, rather than just going with Giannis or Greek Freak, you decide to go for the kill.

Antetkoompno … Antetnokoumpo … Antetokumpo … Antetoknmpzklakco.

Words are hard. And Giannis Antetokounmpo is decidedly hard to spell. Even after typing it for the hundredth time, your hand starts to slow down over those last five or six letters like each finger is having a mini aneurysm. Your pulse quickens and you feel your temperature rising. Weren’t spelling test nightmares supposed to have ceased by the fifth grade?
