NBA: The Milwaukee Bucks have won the second ever NBA Cup after a dominant win over the flying OKC Thunder.

Bucks crowned NBA Cup Champions! | 02:14Fans are up in arms after the not-so-friendly Charlotte Hornets mascot, Hugo the Hornet, did a Christmas giveaway in front of fans, only to take the prized gift away when no one was watching.

The Hornets’ best Grinch impression began during a timeout in the second quarter against the 76ers when a kid and his uncle walked to midcourt and the boy’s Christmas wish list was read aloud.“I’ve been working hard in school all year and making sure my grades are all A’s. I’ve also been working on my jump shot. But my jump shot in ‘2K’ needs some work. I’d really love a PlayStation if you have one. PS: A PlayStation 5, not the one my dad used to play.

The happy story turned sour, as X user @StanUSmnt revealed the organization took the gift back immediately after giving it to the kid. The accusation proved accurate, as the Hornets issued a statement confirming the story told on social media.
