Rest of his draft class :flabbynsick:

can’t believe mcw got roy and Anthony Bennett was the #1 pick. The wolves had 2 picks before giannis and they picked Burke and Shabazz :mjlol:

To make it worse there were teams like Celtics scouting him and calling him the next Scottie Pippen (he obviously exceeded Pippen a while ago), but then proceeding to draft Kelly fukking Olynyk.

There’s no need to shyt on his cast…

Jrue is inconsistent offensively but had great games when needed and his defense was a constant…

Khris was tremendous in the last 25 seasons only ‘07 LeBron James had more go ahead/game tying FG’s in the 4Q of a playoff run..,

Coach Bud isn’t a bad coach…you nikkas don’t know nothing about coaching or X’s and O’s none of that. Most of y’all can’t even contextualize simple things that happen on the floor. The cac actually coached his ass off and made several in series adjustments. How can a coach with close to a .600 career winning %, a title, two CoY awards be a “terrible coach”.

Giannis couldn’t be stopped because his team didn’t shrink like years prior. U weren’t going to play a wall defense on him. Even Pat Connaughton shot nearly 50% from 3 and rebounded well and Bobby Portis balled out in the close out. Giannis didn’t take them there, they went there together. Giannis actually grew a lot in these playoffs round to round.
nikkas been shytting on Jrue and Middleton all season for the same reasons they’re shytting on them now in the finals — because they’re mad inconsistent offensively, especially Jrue :francis:

No need to start propping them up just because they won. They aren’t suddenly immune to the criticism they’ve been getting all year because they won. MIL would have lost Game 6 in a blow out if not for Giannis’ heroics. He absolutely carried them last night.

What's Your definition of inconsistent, do you know what all Middleton does for the team?

Offensively, you never know what you’re getting from them game to game. Middleton in particular goes from playing awful, to playing like a role player, to playing like a superstar over the course of a few games.

Middleton had 11 points on 31% shooting in a winnable game 2. The next game he goes for 18 on 43% shooting. The game after that he explodes for 40 points.

Then tonight, a close out game 6 at home. Everyone was assuming the whole team would ball out and blow Phoenix at. The entire team aside from Giannis comes out flat. If not for Giannis heroics and 3rd quarter explosion, we’re having a completely different discussion right now.

What kills me is that when the media talks about who has next after the LeBron era they always talk about KD as if he’s in his mid 20’s. The muthafukka will be 33 years old and a 14 year vet. That’s one year younger than Kobe was when he tore his Achilles :dwillhuh::mindblown:

KD and LeBron were in their primes at pretty much the same time.

Are we just suppose to assume every great player is gonna play 20+ years?
