Giannis in Athens: Harden & Durant can be face of the NBA, I want to be a family man

[Ziggiy]

Does kd even wanna be the face of the nba like that? He don’t really fukk with the media or play the good guy role


Also it’s possible to win, enjoy the game, be a family man, hard worker, and be the face of the nba

Lets not be obtuse. We ALL know what Giannis is really saying/getting at.


Lebron has dealt with an UNGODLY amount of pressure/expectations/scrutiny since he was 16 years old. There is only one Lebron. Most of the shyt Bron’s dealt with would break the average NBA player. Thats NOT a life most people, even celebrities want.


Lebron literally had a stranger run up on him while he was with his wife and he did what ANY man would do and pushed the stranger away from him and it became a two day controversy.


Giannis doesn’t want “Face Of The League” Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant/Lebron James type scrutiny. He doesn’t want 24/7 media coverage or the media wondering if his son is going to follow in his footsteps or tracking who his wife follows on twitter trying to gauge if thats a clue to where he’ll play in five years. He wants to be lowkey.

Harden and KD are like the last people trying to be the face of the league.

Beefing with journalists, trolling on twitter, using foul language, posted up with (t)rappers in clubs and on.

Lebron and Kobe type of people is who is trying to be, more Kobe than Lebron since Lebron has been more fukk the other side. While Kobe was more Mj-like.

Probably stressful as hell to be honest.

Like any other job except way easier cause u have way more resources for your family

KD is too old for the NBA to tout as the face of the NBA as i think they are going with Luka or Zion with that mantle sooner than later. Harden with his off the court lifestyle and lack of playoff success means he never was a legit candidate for that role. It was legit set up for Kyrie to be that at one time but him not staying healthy not having success outside of playing with Bron and just being overall weird as hell fukked that up.
