Because he is an immigrant.
I don’t know man, who hates Dikembe or Dirk or Hakeem? Maybe I missed that. I just think that Giannis is a dude who came out of nowhere and people have trouble getting behind that because of confirmation bias. KD, ironically, who a guy like Jack champions, was one of the original Giannis advocates. I think it’s just envy honestly. CJ and them talked spicy about KD in GSW too.

Can't take "hot take" commentary seriously, but it separates people who actually watch the Bucks outside of a handful of nationally televised games from people who actually watch them all season long.

It's a built team, not a superteam. Giannis was a home run swing that landed. That was a massive gamble for a team that traditionally drafted pretty conservatively (during the Herb Kohl era) or flat out fumbled their picks. Middleton ended up here because they couldn't get Jeff Teague; he was an add-on in the Brandon Jennings/Brandon Knight trade. Dude developed his game and got paid. And figuring out Bled wasn't it, they used draft capital for Jrue. Donte is a mid-to-late first rounder. The rest of the rotation are FAs that they took fliers on (Brook, Pat and Bobby.)

He didn’t join the “fraternity” and start hanging out with Bron and KD and working out with people over the summers. He literally has no friends in the league that aren’t teammates and he only hangs out with his brothers.


His “fukk your superteams” attitude has been the energy he’s displayed since he got in the league. He really don’t give a fukk about being diplomatic with other players
Yup. Go a long get along gang at it again

This is a different generation.

In my post, I likened it to how Kobe was treated when he first came to the NBA. This new generation of players have known each other since they were 11 or 12 through AAU and basketball camps.

Giannis came from nowhere and it bothers them.

KD recognized it because KD only does hoops, but I feel a lot of other players low key resent him.
