We need to talk about the Phoenix Suns fan who went viral for counting his $100 bills during Giannis Antetokounmpo's free throw attempts.

It's become a well-known tradition at this point in the playoffs that fans in road arenas will loudly count to ten while Giannis prepares to hit his shots from the free-throw stripe. That's how long players have to hit free throws, and Giannis has struggled with this in the past. He has even taken a couple of penalties for it during this playoff run.
But this Suns fan took it to the next level - openly bragging on his wealth while taunting Giannis at the same time.

Let's just say that Milwaukee fans weren't very impressed by the display. Here are some of the best reactions from social media:
“How much money did you lose betting on the Suns tonight?”
