These NBA Players Act Like the Mean Girls in High School Against Giannis

[Damnshow]

Who the fukk wants to hear anything from these dudes? CJ and Beal are perennial playoff losers. Two undersized shooting guards, I guess they're having a midget complex.

 

[Rekkapryde]

This isn't the first time a bunch of them have said some passive aggressive type shyt about dude. Players always have dislike one another but keep a straight face in public with Giannis since he won MVP in 2019 there's been subtweeting and slick comments. It's basketball and yeah I thought he should've been checking KD but the Bucks won, these dudes not being slick calling this out and not giving props when he wins.

Social media has birthed a lot of bytch ass feminine tendencies in nikkaz

Stop the passive aggressive shyt... As the late great Chad Butler said, SAY MY NAME.

Giannis don't fukk with none of these NBA nikkas, which is why I think he gets some hate from them. He ain't friendly with none of them nikkas outside of his teammates if that.

I felt that was one of the reasons why he stayed in Milwaukee as its damn near his personal space and comfort zone. Going to team up with other stars more than likely means he has to be friends with them, hang out, take photos, appear to be happy, etc. He's in his own bubble in Milwaukee with his brothers and family which seems to be all that he prefers.

Yup dude said when he’s at home he doesn’t even watch basketball

Just all about his kids and relaxing

Low key Blake Griffin was the same way. All his friends and associates were his brother, family, and Hollywood creatives. He didn't f*ck with other players outside of teammates. The only guy on the Lob City teams that was liked by other players was DJ

CJ talks a lot for an inefficient non-all star ass midget

CJ is plenty efficient for a SG with his playing style, shot 51% from 2pt and 40% from 3pt this year.

You should have said no-defense.

Picture is funny because....he didn't need any physical gifts to ball better than 100% of the guys trying to talk shyt about him online?

Playing varsity for a good squad as a 5'2" freshman tells you what a gifted ballplayer he was.

 

[GoldenGlove]

They're fans like us when they're eliminated.

With that said, I wanted to see Giannis take the challenge of guarding KD. Remember last post season when he wasn't defending Jimmy and when asked about it he was like he's going to defend whoever coach tells him to?

Not in the Playoffs

Why yall crying they don't gotta like that nikka. He a outsider. #ADOS

All those players are home or on vacation watching Giannis in the Playoffs. Probably just a coaches decision to conserve energy, keep Giannis out of foul trouble. Tucker fouled out guarding Durant

 

[SCORCH]

You see the phantom foul they called on PJ Tucker last night when KD lost control of the ball and threw it up in the air? Yeah I don't want my best player guarding him either. Let PJ foul out if the refs are on bullshyt.

I'm rooting for Giannis to win this shyt now.

 

[KingJay]

Never seen anybody stop KD, and never will BUT I do recall Jason Kidd giving excellent spot coverage of him the year Dallas went on to win the ring.
Think he was 38 at the time, but another strong, quick lateral movement, and good defensive instinct guy.

The year of the title run, he played spot duty covering 3/5 of the all NBA first team in those playoffs, Kobe, KD, and LeBron. He did a pretty good job, too.

===

There's no such thing as "figuring Durant out", BUT by game 7 of a series.....PJ and the spot defenders had seen Durant upclose enough to try to stifle him, and route him in the best direction for what the defense was doing.

Throwing Giannis on him for the first time in deciding minutes of Game 7, sounds good to fans, but might have thrown the Bucks off.

Other Nets were either hobbled or scared. Make Durant into just a scorer, wear him down, and live with him making or missing shots down the stretch.

But throwing Khris Middleton at Durant when PJ fouled out throws off the Bucks less than putting Giannis on him? Middleton got cooked by KD when they were matched up this series
