Do cats bring it up with Toronto and hold that against them?
Cappers had injuries at the worst times in the playoffs throughout the lob city run in the 2010s?
Earv getting hurt in 89?

list goes on

many other examples, but no one truly cares at the end of the day because if their team was in the same situation, they'd take the ring too. Injuries happen. We all knew the Nets were always one injury away from 3 dudes who had injury issues. No one was shocked when it happened.
Hey I'm just saying this is what people are talking about right now. I don't care because I am a Giannis supporter anyway:yeshrug:

Statistically he's been putting up the best numbers seen in a long time. However, the numbers overpower everything else.

I'd say his postseason is fairly rated when you look at his game. If he truly accepts that he's a 4-5, then we don't have a discussion. It's him trying to be a wing, the horrid shooting (FTs, 3s, hell his jumper), trying to break down the defense, getting the wall put on him...the team looking like they can't go to him down the stretch moments like that matter a lot.

I think he would start getting more respect if the Bucks stopped trying to make him a point guard, and just put him strictly in the post. He has a good spin move, and has good length that allows him to finish at the rim.

:wow: and he in his bag

This good to hear. Though I’ll say he or the coaching staff definitely talked with league officials to not have those ten seconds called again. He a back to back mvp. Imagine if he was Lebron with that double mvp. nikka would look at refs like IM KING YOU RESPECT ME. Instead he just lets the crowd count to thirteen. Holds the pre release of the free throw for an extra second or two then shoots it. As to say haha or so what I dare you to call the 10 seconds.

Said it the last couple years:

For all his flaws, give Giannis the same luxuries given to other stars known as “winners” (top 5 level superstar teammates and/or super teams), and best believe he’ll wreck everyone on his way to a title too.

Granted, he still doesn’t have that particular luxury but Middleton and Holiday have kinda taken turns being that reliable 2nd option on a game-to-game basis.
That no miss all star game told me everything about him. He put league on notice when he did that. I took it as him saying I’m coming for a title.

What killed me is when Kareem even started hating by saying this years Bucks team won’t win a ring.

I think he feels a way that Giannis usurped him in being the GOAT Buck. It’s also telling that the same NBA players that loved tweeting and ki-king during the Nets series/ ATL game one have been church mouses these last few games.

He sure do look skilled to me when he’s getting downhill with the ball tight, spinning off nikkas, and hitting elongated finger rolls

Looks like a damn 7-foot fusion of Pippen and Dr. J

That’s just me tho

He's actually slightly overrated. Middleton has been the big time performer for them in the key moments this post season. See last night's game. Giannis has just been his regular season self and the Bucks have the best team out of the healthy ones left.

Even those tweets are clearly struggle admiration posts. Numbers look underwhelming. But the NBA's gotta push their biggest star left.

Trash post

I'm not even gonna bother refuting g this nonsense
