"i could've gone to a superteam. but i did it the hard way..i fukkin did it" giannis

[old pig]

Three players in their 30s…

the irony is they were about the same damn age as kyrie, KD and harden…with paul being 29 and KG and ray being in their early 30s…I thought I was bitter about losing the way we did to the bucks but I see you just as bitter with how we beat y’all…probably stings more cuz you can’t get kyrie out your system either

 

[pete clemenza]

Talk dat shyt Giannis. They said he shouldn't take the supermax and instead go ring chase with dudes he don't even fukk wit. He did the the damn thang, won a ring, and got the supermax. He blew a lot of holes in these talking heads theories

 

[I AM WARHOL]

It does. That’s why I’m surprised they signed off on Harden to Brooklyn. I thought the plan was to prove a point.

KD honestly doesn’t give a fukk tbh. He’s more focused on perfecting his game individually and playing with ppl he genuinely likes. He’s been on the shyt end of media and fan based hate for so long I think he’s over trying to prove anything. I feel him tbh. I just wish he could’ve gotten that feeling once but his window was blocked by a Lebron superteam. Weirdly enough I don’t think KD cares about rings at all anymore. Just honing his craft

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Nikkas saying Giannis built Middleton...eh lets not undersell him either.

Middleton averaged more points than Giannis his 1st 3 years in the league.


His situation is more comparable to KD than Brons. Young guys growing together and figuring it out.

To be comparable to Bron it would be like if Dajuan Wagner never had injury issues. Or Boozer never leaving after Bron's rookie year @Rhakim

What was the young guy that really got to develop with a young Bron?

W a superteam

Without looking it up tell me which team is the 2016 Cavs in the Finals and which team is the 2021 Bucks. I'll give you a hint...the team y'all claim isn't a super team has a number 2 option that was every bit as good as Kyrie, a third option averaging 7 more points, and more double digit scorers.

 

[James Dean]

This more of a shot at Harden.

 

[old pig]

Everyone knows I’m a KD fan and I think KD is the best in the league right now but I have to salute a true competitor. I’m so happy for this dude. Hopefully other stars are motivated by seeing what he accomplished. Running from the grind, hiding behind fan made/ media made narratives, team hopping ain’t it. That’s not what makes you a real legend IMO. This shyt hits different. Anyone saying otherwise is lying.

ultimately couldn’t agree more

…probably stings more cuz you can’t get kyrie out your system either

i didn't pay no mind to that series at all. Jaylen Brown all-star was out. Did anyone cry over it? Nope.

and kyrie has missed how many postseasons? he can't last through the grind anymore.

Giannis played against Durant and Harden head to head game 7 and won..

I think he cares more than he lets on but I agree. He’s never going to win with them, which is why he shouldn’t engage.

 

[Big Boss]

I feel it's a toss-up between Kawhi and Giannis.

Giannis Finals >>> any one series Kawhi had, however Kawhi beat Embiid/Butler/Tobias/Simmons... and then beat MVP Giannis/Middleton/Brogdon/Bledsoe, and was impressive in both.

Basically Kawhi's ECSF & ECFs >>> Giannis's ECSF & ECFs

But Giannis's Finals, specifically, is all-time.

 

[CHERUB]

Im already seeing the narratives getting created and promoted with no context or nuance and its nasty. Yall really gonna compare Kyrie ankle or AD groin or Kawhi acl to Giannis knee? He missed one game availability is key. He won no doubt but some yall getting crazy with the bulkshyt

He played through it like Embiid did.

 

[Flight]

big difference between that and 3 top 10 players tryna team up like Voltron

Yeah he’s not hooping with Kyrie and Harden. But those two are talented as hell. Jrue is probably the most respected non regular all star guard in the league from his peers. He has a great duo. Giannis did his thing and is unquestionably the leader/alpha but he isn’t out there with Jeff McGinnis and Ricky Davis.

But I agree with the main point anyways winning a ring with the team that drafted you just holds more weight to most fans.

i cant believe a grown man used that argument, and wants us to think he's educated
