    I am so glad to hear a current player speak like this because when the former players speak like this, several of the current players call them old heads who are hating, but that's not it. It was just a different level of competitive mentality back then, and I truly miss it. Giannis was literally just telling the truth of the heart of a real competitor, and I get it. I completely get it.

    • @d1anoly88
      @d1anoly88 Год назад +1

      Yeah, it's nice mentality for sure but on another hand (in no why to say he's wrong) I'd think it's still worth to work out with other NBA players.
      Like Kobe. He's working out with others, but also to watch their tendencies and learn more about them in order to counter them.
      But as Giannis says tho, he can't fake it so that's also good from him.
      There's benefits from both because we've seen many players succeed from both. Media and fans shouldn't undervalue one over the other.

      I mean... but not really... it's like how LeBron been playing going on 21 years but ... he's only 38, so even though he's approaching a time record, he's NOT EVEN CLOSE to the oldest player. People talk about him like becuase it's 21 that he's like 50 LOL. But I find it funny watching reacts that in goofy ass GOAT comparison videos young kids will say on defense "You can't compare Lebron in lakers to MJ in a bulls Jersey"... hmm Bron joined the lakers at age 34. MJ was still on the Bulls til he was 35. But yeah, people don't get that number of years in the league doesn't fully correlate with age.
