Khris Middleton confronts reporter who called him by the wrong name

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

Following shootaround on Friday, Milwaukee Bucks wing Khris Middleton took a question he wasn't expecting from an out-of-town reporter. The unexpected part of it was that the reporter addressed Middleton by the wrong name, referring to him as Jabari and asking a question meant to be asked to Middleton's teammate, Jabari Parker.

Middleton took the question in stride at the time and didn't make a correction. But when the same reporter asked Middleton a question following Milwaukee's 116-92 win over the Boston Celtics in Game 3 of their Eastern Conference playoff series Friday night at the BMO Harris Bradley Center, Middleton decided it was time to clear things up.

The ensuing scene was light-hearted and entertaining, especially with Giannis Antetokounmpo jumping in to Middleton's aid.
