As a bucks fan, I think that Giannis has done everything he can for the bucks. Our roster is simply too old and we have no assets to improve. I wish him the best with the rest of his career.
@@tonymatsonjr1463 at least they took the first step and fired Bud. If we keep up this unnecessary choking for another 1-2 years, we’ll prob fire him too
He’s not leaving lol, the bucks just re signed Brook and Khris while bringing in more talent. They’re going to win games and gainnis is going to re sign.
@endercreeper6545 It's not about where we are at, it's about where we are going. The team is only going to go downhill from here as the roster continues to age. We realistically only have 2 years of competing left.
As a Bucks fan, the threat was always real. Giannis doesn’t care abt the specific city or market size. He only cares abt a team that gives him his best chance if winning. Even if it’s a “small market” like Charlotte, Sacramento or Orlando. It doesn’t matter to him. If he’s winning and they work around him, he’ll like it
@@ewajajonna no it isn’t. Remember the “Giannis to Miami/GS/Portland/Dallas” saga the year before the title? Giannis not being vocal abt staying in Milwaukee pre extension was the sign he’s going wherever the front office support is. Which Milwaukee def did after the Holiday-Bledsoe trade
For Milwaukee Bucks fans , Giannis has proven that he doesn’t have to accomplish anything anymore , and he brought a championship to Milwaukee , it wouldn’t surprise me if he chooses to leave honestly
Idk this guy always has been a bucks hater. And it hasn’t changed. To call the heat a 8th seed and end it like that is disrespectful af to the heat and the bucks. If u check the bucks history this guy has a long history of taking shots, nothing worse than bias media. He should just root for his own team and do there media
He has been there since day one and never made a fuss about anything, just made it clear that he wants to go where he has the chance to win. I respect his professionalism, and he got the Bucks their first chip in forever, plus all his individual accomplishments. The team is old, has very few assets, it’s just time for a rebuild
Nothing new if you ask me. Ja said he can beat mj in a one on one, Steph said he is the point god, Embiid wants his chances and now Giannis. I'm not talking about harden or ben, they don't have a chance, but these guys do. Its a trend to have ego and self-confidence. Their teams demand a lot from them, why shouldn't they? Anyway, if a team wants to win a chip, that doesn't matter. Just bring in Luka and Joker and you'll probably have a ring.
Jrue was also having to guard jimmy one on one the entire series. No doubles, no forcing the ball out of his hands. Budenholzer was asleep at the helm and was not being a leader. He didnt have Giannis gaurd jimmy. They didnt change their scheme one bit and Coach Spo coached marathons around him
If it makes Milwaukee feel any better, the Heat left a trail of teams that were supposed to beat the hell out of them. I can't remember a run like it, and I doubt we'll ever see another.
Been a Bucks fan since Ray Allen's rookie season. Giannis has done more than enough for us. I won't even trip if he decides to leave. I thought I'd never see the day we even get the 1 seed let alone a chip and constantly being in contention to win it all. I enjoyed this run while it lasted. What a ride!! I wish him the best.
I don’t normally like many vids but realizing that I watch every upload making me realize I gotta start liking to help the channel grow. Love the vids!
and brought in Beasley, and a healthy Khris Middleton. Which either means Grayson Allen is off the bench to replace the shooting jevon had or Malik will.
All stars say this all the time to keep their franchises on their toes. Giannis knows that with aaron rogers out of wisconsin, he quite literally represents the state, hes too humble to leave and the gm is too smart to let the team die down talent wise
tbh I can understand him since it looks like the way press and personalities rank players directly with their success winning chips, Im not a fan of this way of ranking players but he has to build a legacy to be considered one of the best to ever do it
Giannis also should share the blame for the fails. Teams started to form walls to stop Giannis penetration and Giannis started to post-up and catch the ball near the post to counter this when they got the ring. Giannis posting up has disapeared since then and so has their success.
Bro what??? 🤣🤣 that’s like saying “oh well it’s curry’s fault for not being able to dunk” or “it’s shaqs fault for not being able to shoot” like bro?? Do u know how basketball works? There’s no one player that can have everything. That’s why it’s a TEAM sport. So you can have a team to cover up your weaknesses. Giannis is doing everything in his power to add wins to his team. He is by far the best player on the team. The bucks shooting god awful is not his fault. Bro cannot turn in to Superman and shoot 46% from 3 as well as do everything else he already does.
to you and other nba channels: you have a lot of international viewers and i for one would be happy getting videos about the worldcup going one rightnow
I would like to also nominate Brooklyn for a Giannis destination. They have great floor spacing a defence and Ben Simmons contract is up when Giannis has a player option so they’ll have the cap space
Well right now they have a boatload of 1st round picks, young talents they can either trade or continue to develop, tons of cap flexibility, and, most important, they are actually good. When on earth has that actually ever been the case for them and what team can realistically match that? I think it seems inevitable, unless the Knicks win a chip next season, that they're going to trade for one of Donovan Mitchell, Joel Embiid, or Giannis.
@@Quietcomet Joel seems like the right kind of player cause the fit is great with Brunson and Randle/Barrett (assume one gets traded for him), plus Knicks President Leon Rose was his agent before he took the Knicks job. However, if I had to bet, I'd actually say Spida cause he's going have a soon-to-be-expiring contract and can realistically force a trade to the Knicks, where he's openly always wanted to go. Giannis is going to have too much of an open market and given he doesn't care as much about market and where he plays as most players, I think he's the least likely.
Khris MIddleton was dealing with a long stretch of injury and no rest inconsistent time played. He will have the longest off season since 2016 and he will be fresh for a new season. Brook Lopex finished as runner up for Dpoy last season at 35 in a notoriously risky defensive system. He had back surgery las season and has looked awesome since. Jrue has been extremely over taxed this past 2 years by not having a true playmaker or even offensive focused point gaurd or 2 guard next to him. He's had to take on double duty much like Giannis has in the past. Beasley is a new addition to alleviate some of those offensive loads. Crowder was not utilized enough and was not given enough time by the front office and coaching staff to integrate into the system thus looking lost and washed as a result. The bucks have a tier 1 competitive roster in a much weaker eastern conference this season with the only real improvement being Kristaps, an older celtics team and second year head coach. The pacers got a little better, the cavs got a little better, the knicks got a little better, and the heat are gassed and praying for Dame to join their roster. Brooklyn has a weird situation of will they try and compete or will they be play in level of competitive. Toronto has no real great direction and their new head coach might just get fired for stealing info from the knicks. The bulls are going to be mid and refuse to rebuild. The Magic have a way too deep log jam of guard play. The hornets might not win 30 games. The Hawks can be ECF bound or not make the play in period. The bucks are in a great position with a great roster that can and has played well, A long refreshed team with young aspiring talent and an expierenced first time head coach. THe bucks will win the 2024 NBA finals against the LA Clippers, I guarantee it.
Without a doubt, Giannis is the most sincere and honest active player in the NBA. he just needs one reliable addition to his team. Maybe one of his current teammates stepping up will be enough.
Giannis is being honest & doesn’t owe the bucks anything after bringing the championship home. Now the fans and media should just respect his decision where ever he goes to keep winning 🏆
Bro leaving your family for a new environment where you are trying to achieve something in life can make you feel as lonely as possible. I am happy he is happy now.
Giannis has another good 6 years left based on his physical style of play. He wants to maximize the rest of these years so he can win another 1 or 2 rings. At this point the Bucks have no draft capital or trade assets to restructure another championship team. Milwaukee be happy with what you got from Giannis and he put you on the map because before he arrived there nobody even knew a city named Milwaukee even existed. That man is gone next year...and that's a fact of life!!
Idk if this counts for anything, but I am a ucla student and for the past week Giannis has been practicing here (I’ve even seen him a few times). Maybe giannis likes la 🤫
Okc has the most assets and would still be able keep its core while attaining giannis. Plus a young team where he can ser a future . Honestly perfect landing spot .
Giannis doesn't care about money or playing in a big market team he only cares about winning championships which i respect a lot. He has given anything he could to the Bucks it would only make sense for him to move on to win another ring.
Giannis is not leaving. The Horst is too smart for that. We brought back Middleton and Brook while bringing in more and younger shooting. The core who just came off of a first seed is still in tact. Giannis is most likely going to resign like he said. As long as the team is committed to winning he will stay.
@@osazone exactly! If the Bucks didn't re-sign them, they weren't going to win with Greek Freak not having any help! People really think he wants to be part of a re-buold now?! Bucks' management knows that if they don't win, then he's leaving!
The Spurs will have money to spend on Giannis when he becomes available. And Giannis spoke disappearing like Duncan after retirement and has great words for Wembanyama. The Spurs is in his subconscious and he will consider that team and when that happens, you will certainly get another Spurs dynasty.
Let’s go! The number 1 roster for Giannis my knicks! If Giannis get on our team we can fix the mistakes we’ve made for the past 50 seasons. Let’s strike some good this year knicks!
Jrue is absolutely not in his prime, he's 33 and players usually leave their prime by then, save for the truly elite players like Lebron or Steph. Other teams Casey mentioned, like the Knicks and Cavs, or even sleeper teams like the Pacers and OKC, have FAR younger cores with a far higher ceiling than Jrue and Brook.
honestly i think part of this stems from the series of tweets between him & kobe, bro just always needed a new goal 😂 but in all seriousness tho Giannis seems like the kind of guy who doesn’t like to be stagnant, and if the only way to not be stagnant is to go to a new team with a new challenge of winning a ring, im sure he’s all for that.
Dirk, Luka, Nikola, Giannis, dont ask out, at minimum will honer the contract.Gobert, Pau Gasol ,Tony Parker ,Ginobili ,Divac,Stojakovič,...and all other great Europians didnt demends trades. Reader teams trade them. The mentality is different ,the entitlement from US players from the college on going forward.
PLEASE. You deserve it my bruva 🙏🏽, you’ve already fed milwaukee everything, and although you’ve gone things done you have to also acknowledge 2021 Championship was luck, altho every championship is luck .. but being a status where YOUR GUARANTEED championship contenders year in year out is needed for a guy that is sniffing GOAT level destiny.
So Im a tried and true bucks fan and as SOON as that Jeff Teague clip came in, I knew this was a poorly sourced and inflammatory video, much like other videos. Jeff had essentially ZERO relationship with the starters and rotational guys. He's referring to the bench mob, the trench guys as we called them. Toupane, Merril, Bryant, Jackson, and Diakite. They didn't play and they talked amongst each other all the time. SO THEY though they were going to lose to Brooklyn because THEY weren't the guys playing a bunch of rookies and scrubs with one washed Vet.
@AMHoops Any possibility that Giannis goes to the Spurs and forms a twin-tower combo with Wemby? Giannis fits the winning culture in San Antonio, plus don't they have the cap space?
I still can't believe how Jimmy Butler turns into Himmy in the playoffs. What he did to Holiday, my goodness. And I think (like most NBA players), Holiday is the toughest matchup.
I feel like I've seen this movie before, KD 2019, everyone was so sure about the Knicks. I don't think the Knicks ownership even have the stomach for a contending team, too much into profits. You need mad lads who are willing to spend to get a chip, your Brooklyn, Clippers or Warriors (not really possible) ownerships, maybe even Suns.
True, the Bucks' playoff success (or lack thereof) is kind of pushed under the table. Excellent regular season, but only one chip that arguably only happened because of injuries to the Nets (and KD's foot size)
I mean honestly how crazy 1-2 punch 👊 of Wemby and Giannis? Think about it. After this season Spurs will draft Isaiah Collier, Isaiah Collier - 1 Devin VASSEL - 2 JEREMY SOCHAN - 3 Giannis - 4 Wemby - 5 (6th man - KELDON JOHNSON) Defense wins championships 🏆.
What about Giannis a Spur? Just imagining, he will feel family there and become a Duncan kind legacy at his retirement and will enjoy plenty of winnnings. Is San Antonio a bigger market than MIL?
Because Harden doesn't perform when the lights are the brightest. His comments about Giannis are dumb. Doing what Giannis does takes skill obviously. But Giannis can't really shoot and that's a fact. There is no need to compare Harden and Giannis please. Giannis doesn't "need" a jumper to win. But he would be better with one of course.
Why can’t you do both. Only one team wins a year. 20yrs and Kobe only won 5 rings. Better make sure you’re getting paid cuz that’s the only sure thing.
Man it's just impossible to hate this guy. I don't think I know a superstar with such aura since Tim Duncan in SA. No fans would hate him for going out, specially if they get good assets in return
the lopez roster spot needs to go to a young buck. Its actually crazy the Bucks core of Holliday, Middleton and Giannis isnt domniating in the playoffs. I think they need young blood to carry them through the regular season grind.
For Giannis I can’t fault him for wanting to leave and not sign a contract extension because he wants to win and have a chance to add more to his legacy. And wants to prove to people he can’t win on any team he on no matter the outcome and that he still got value to compete to have the passion to have a long term career. And that like he ain’t wasting time and that he wants to play the game he loves with out feeling like he not accomplish noting or feeling like a failure, and Carey that black mamba mentality of hits working hard and just coping with pain to not complain. He wants the freedom to control his career and his life, and wants to go to a place that’s home but like a place to win.
Bucks front office is really mid. This last playoffs showed that if Giannis is out, they can't make it past round 1 of the playoffs. Glad Giannis is doing this instead of the Dame Lillard type BS.
Giannis going to GSW will make Curry the goat pg and honestly contender for over all goat alongside Lebron and Jordan and even Giannis himself in the future. They are a match made in heaven and will prob win a ring every year they are together.
Talking about losing to the eighth seed as if Jimmy and the Heat didn't get to the FREAKING FINALS. Nothing to be ashamed of when Giannis was hurt and they lost to the eventual runner-up to the Champions.
I’m confused when you said “the last 5 years they had the best record in the NBA, and 3 of those 5 years they were number 1 seed.” If they had the best record in the nba for 5 years, who had a better seed than them?
In 2021 they were 3rd in the East behind Philly and Brooklyn and in 2022 they were 3rd in the East again behind Miami and Boston, but their record was definitely in the top 5 or top 10 of the NBA those years. However, the other 3 years, they had the best record in the NBA overall, and their consistency in the regular season the last few years is why they have overall the best record in the NBA over the last 5 years. Hopefully that makes sense.
Funny Nikola Jokic felt the same way about family first over basketball and so many trashed his personal choices. These euro players are so much different people then the American born Narcissist playing around the leauge, and most of them dont even have a championship. Sad.
The thumbnail scares me. Like damn imagine if the Warriors had CP, Steph, Giannis and Klay. Like they would literally be the best team ever. Fuck chemistry. That wouldn’t even matter at that point.
Meh... I think people: 1. Undersell what a big deal that injury was to Giannis first round. A low back injury is a big deal and he was OUT. And people undersell what a big deal he is to the Bucks. Sucks they lost but that's kinda like if MJ was injured out of the 98 playoffs. The Bulls ain't getting out of the EC let alone beating the Jazz. Some players are worth more than others and Giannis IS that player for the Bucks. 2. Ignore Bron's age and pretend he isn't getting old, but pretend like early to mid 30s is washed up for every other player on every other team with modern medicine. It isn't and the Bucks might be an older team but again... they ain't no 98 Bulls yet, and again, they did FINE. Stuff can go wrong -- Giannis doesn't HAVE to stay in Milwaukee, but I hope he does. Hell train and draft the whole fam -- have all Greek Freaks on the Bucks. Why not?? Make them the face of Milwaukee and start a whole new Greek / Nigerian community -- they could use it! It won't be the end of the world if he leaves -- but he's a big deal and he does love family. GIVE HIM FAMILY. Give him love. Give him chips. Support all his foundations. Cities like New York and LA, sports stars are a dime a dozen. In Milwaukee Wisconsin they aren't. Wisconsin worships and loves their sports stars. Hell sometimes our sports are so bad we gotta worship stars from neighboring states or college stars when we have 50 year droughts. But people bag on the Midwest -- between climate change and fam -- don't underrate the Midwest. There's something really nice about smaller markets. And he's got kids now -- seriously he doesn't wanna be draggin' them into New York or into the hate of Florida. And -- I think he also understands and appreciates that big egos in other teams mean big drama for a lot of teams. I don't know the men personally but omg -- playing with Bron, Kyrie, Harden, guys like that all seem like a lot of emotional work. Maybe there's something I don't know, but Giannis might be young but seems like a great leader with a lot of guys who have 100% been behind him and vice versa.
As a bucks fan, I think that Giannis has done everything he can for the bucks. Our roster is simply too old and we have no assets to improve. I wish him the best with the rest of his career.
Milwaukee isn’t even trying ..I’m frm chicago they had giannis forever n too let him go now is a waste bruh

Jrue also did not say he was GOING to retire. He said he was thinking of retiring. He said that last post season on a podcast with Andre Igudola.
There is a possibility for him to retire so his value has obviously dropped more
It always starts with a thought🤷🏿♂️
Fair play to him. Not a lot of players have his mentality. Most just want the paycheck.

It’s true Giannis lost to a 8th seed but u have to realize that Heat are the type of team that avoids showing their true colors until the postseason
Bingo
Excuses
I ain’t a Bucks I’m just stating the obvious and I really believe if Giannis was 100% they still lose
For real Miami made it to the finals. That ain’t a fluke. They caught fire at the right time

If giannis is in 80s and 90s would be better. They cant form walls in that era

Idk if this counts for anything, but I am a ucla student and for the past week Giannis has been practicing here (I’ve even seen him a few times). Maybe giannis likes la 🤫
Love your videos my friend.😊
Okc has the most assets and would still be able keep its core while attaining giannis. Plus a young team where he can ser a future . Honestly perfect landing spot .
Awesome vid
Giannis doesn't care about money or playing in a big market team he only cares about winning championships which i respect a lot. He has given anything he could to the Bucks it would only make sense for him to move on to win another ring.
Giannis is not leaving. The Horst is too smart for that. We brought back Middleton and Brook while bringing in more and younger shooting. The core who just came off of a first seed is still in tact.
Giannis is most likely going to resign like he said. As long as the team is committed to winning he will stay.
i love giannis its gonna be sad if he gonna leave for a new team
Is it just me or Giannis looks insane in a warriors jersey 🔥 🔥 🔥
Nawhh he finna become a bull 😈😈😈
No fuck the warriors hope after Steph leaves they stay in the bottom of the west for decades
@@victor_wet_bananasfrom a nice peaceful city in sunny Greece, to Chiraq 😂
If he went to GS automatic ring and I don’t think he cares what Americans think of him unlike KD.
Giannas to mavs with luka and kyrie!
He’s just politely saying he wants out
aint no way this guy called Thanasis Antetokounmpo an elite role player 😂
I know it’s not gonna happen but Masai is smiling somewhere
@07:03 - LOL --- Giannis going to the NY Knicks and winning them a Championship is like expecting a miracle to happen...
I thought that's what being a Knicks fan was all about, sucking year after year and expecting a miracle to happen.
@@brad4571 #facts 👍
If Denver can do it... anything is possible
So if the Bucks didn't re-sign Middleton and Lopez, WHO were they going to sign then if good NBA free agents are hard to come by?!
exactly, they did the best in the circumstances facing them
@@osazone exactly! If the Bucks didn't re-sign them, they weren't going to win with Greek Freak not having any help! People really think he wants to be part of a re-buold now?! Bucks' management knows that if they don't win, then he's leaving!
Not a warriors fan but man i would love to see him play with Steph
The Spurs will have money to spend on Giannis when he becomes available. And Giannis spoke disappearing like Duncan after retirement and has great words for Wembanyama. The Spurs is in his subconscious and he will consider that team and when that happens, you will certainly get another Spurs dynasty.
If Giannis really want the team to really focus on winning a chip then he should ask the management to trade his brother first.
U ain't lying it is waste of a roster spot
Ey man thanasis lead the nba in high fives last year
Let’s go! The number 1 roster for Giannis my knicks! If Giannis get on our team we can fix the mistakes we’ve made for the past 50 seasons. Let’s strike some good this year knicks!
Jrue is in his prime and brook Lopez is still a great player so I don’t know why giannis would leave
That heat loss really exposed the Bucks definitely made him question his commitment
Well "prime" Jrue got cooked by Jimmy Butler
Jrue is absolutely not in his prime, he's 33 and players usually leave their prime by then, save for the truly elite players like Lebron or Steph. Other teams Casey mentioned, like the Knicks and Cavs, or even sleeper teams like the Pacers and OKC, have FAR younger cores with a far higher ceiling than Jrue and Brook.
Casey is killin it in these videos. He posts. I click.
I would want to see him go over to the timberwolves and play with ant
Today was a good day. Thank you. RIP to jalen and jacoby - fortunately we have am hoops.
honestly i think part of this stems from the series of tweets between him & kobe, bro just always needed a new goal 😂 but in all seriousness tho Giannis seems like the kind of guy who doesn’t like to be stagnant, and if the only way to not be stagnant is to go to a new team with a new challenge of winning a ring, im sure he’s all for that.
like the fit luka doncic pics and ben simmons shooting drills are not the same this season either
Dirk, Luka, Nikola, Giannis, dont ask out, at minimum will honer the contract.Gobert, Pau Gasol ,Tony Parker ,Ginobili ,Divac,Stojakovič,...and all other great Europians didnt demends trades. Reader teams trade them. The mentality is different ,the entitlement from US players from the college on going forward.
💯
As a Warriors fan trade Kuminga, Moody, Wiggins, Cp3 and 3 or 4 firsts and 3 pick swaps for Giannis
Thats not enough of package for Giannis
Yuck. You are the worst kind of NBA fan. Do you really want a league with only 5-6 legitimate teams and everyone else is in a rebuild? That's gross.
PLEASE. You deserve it my bruva 🙏🏽, you’ve already fed milwaukee everything, and although you’ve gone things done you have to also acknowledge 2021 Championship was luck, altho every championship is luck .. but being a status where YOUR GUARANTEED championship contenders year in year out is needed for a guy that is sniffing GOAT level destiny.
So Im a tried and true bucks fan and as SOON as that Jeff Teague clip came in, I knew this was a poorly sourced and inflammatory video, much like other videos. Jeff had essentially ZERO relationship with the starters and rotational guys. He's referring to the bench mob, the trench guys as we called them. Toupane, Merril, Bryant, Jackson, and Diakite. They didn't play and they talked amongst each other all the time. SO THEY though they were going to lose to Brooklyn because THEY weren't the guys playing a bunch of rookies and scrubs with one washed Vet.
As a Giannis fan, we winning the chip this year Baby😩💯
@AMHoops Any possibility that Giannis goes to the Spurs and forms a twin-tower combo with Wemby?
Giannis fits the winning culture in San Antonio, plus don't they have the cap space?
I still can't believe how Jimmy Butler turns into Himmy in the playoffs. What he did to Holiday, my goodness. And I think (like most NBA players), Holiday is the toughest matchup.
Giannis needs to come to Raptors if he wants to win another chip. Him and Scottie OG and Poeltl, Schroeder and Trent go all the way.
Honestly if I was a bucks fan I would just pray for injuries again😭🙏🏾
I feel like I've seen this movie before, KD 2019, everyone was so sure about the Knicks. I don't think the Knicks ownership even have the stomach for a contending team, too much into profits. You need mad lads who are willing to spend to get a chip, your Brooklyn, Clippers or Warriors (not really possible) ownerships, maybe even Suns.
True, the Bucks' playoff success (or lack thereof) is kind of pushed under the table. Excellent regular season, but only one chip that arguably only happened because of injuries to the Nets (and KD's foot size)
I mean honestly how crazy 1-2 punch 👊 of Wemby and Giannis?
Think about it.
After this season Spurs will draft Isaiah Collier,
Isaiah Collier - 1
Devin VASSEL - 2
JEREMY SOCHAN - 3
Giannis - 4
Wemby - 5
(6th man - KELDON JOHNSON)
Defense wins championships 🏆.
Bring in Giannis to the warriors 😎
What about Giannis a Spur? Just imagining, he will feel family there and become a Duncan kind legacy at his retirement and will enjoy plenty of winnnings. Is San Antonio a bigger market than MIL?
Didn't you understand that he wants to win ? Soon, not in 10 years...
if giannis needs a jumper?? why does james always suck in the playoffs if he can dribble and shoot so good??
Because Harden doesn't perform when the lights are the brightest.
His comments about Giannis are dumb. Doing what Giannis does takes skill obviously. But Giannis can't really shoot and that's a fact.
There is no need to compare Harden and Giannis please.
Giannis doesn't "need" a jumper to win. But he would be better with one of course.
He does have a point tho if you’re in the nba you should be trying to win a chip not just get payed
Why can’t you do both. Only one team wins a year. 20yrs and Kobe only won 5 rings. Better make sure you’re getting paid cuz that’s the only sure thing.
He said Knicks the #1 landing spot for Freak and I instantly got pissed for having listened this long
Grayson Allen going full WNBA mode at the end of game 5 got Giannis wanting to dip lol.
Man it's just impossible to hate this guy. I don't think I know a superstar with such aura since Tim Duncan in SA. No fans would hate him for going out, specially if they get good assets in return
As a Heat fan I would almost feel bad for the rest of the league if we got Giannis...
As long as he doesn't join LeBron or steph the league will be ok
**If**
@@sqwo560 yes. "if". That's why I said "if" (dumbass)
I see Giannis in Miami. He said once, it's a very mellow city 🌆...
the lopez roster spot needs to go to a young buck. Its actually crazy the Bucks core of Holliday, Middleton and Giannis isnt domniating in the playoffs. I think they need young blood to carry them through the regular season grind.
Where ever he goes, he will need a team of shooters to back him up.
knicks and cavs are a fit and maybe the knicks might make a sign and trade with randle because he is hot trash in that heat series and the playoffs
Warriors are doing fine. Send him to Dallas please
For Giannis I can’t fault him for wanting to leave and not sign a contract extension because he wants to win and have a chance to add more to his legacy. And wants to prove to people he can’t win on any team he on no matter the outcome and that he still got value to compete to have the passion to have a long term career. And that like he ain’t wasting time and that he wants to play the game he loves with out feeling like he not accomplish noting or feeling like a failure, and Carey that black mamba mentality of hits working hard and just coping with pain to not complain. He wants the freedom to control his career and his life, and wants to go to a place that’s home but like a place to win.
Championships aren’t everything. Look at Kawhi lol
Warriors have Expiring CP3, young talent, and future warriors picks if they want to rebuild after Giannis
Bucks front office is really mid. This last playoffs showed that if Giannis is out, they can't make it past round 1 of the playoffs. Glad Giannis is doing this instead of the Dame Lillard type BS.
Giannis going to GSW will make Curry the goat pg and honestly contender for over all goat alongside Lebron and Jordan and even Giannis himself in the future. They are a match made in heaven and will prob win a ring every year they are together.
Jaylen Brown your next video A.M. Hoops 🙏🙏🙏
"all they have to do is guard Giannis 1 on 1" 💀
Bud was the problem. He is a regular season guy.
Bud was freaking clown
Cp3 is on a expiring contract which means we might have cap space this off season
Ain’t gonna be able to sign him still don’t think
Talking about losing to the eighth seed as if Jimmy and the Heat didn't get to the FREAKING FINALS. Nothing to be ashamed of when Giannis was hurt and they lost to the eventual runner-up to the Champions.
Giannis looked towards Damian Lilards example. And that Loyalty didnt help Lilard get a chip. And it has changed from Chip Or Dip, ring or bye bye.
Him & dame would be unstoppable if they on the same team
Ugh cap space is not just for signing FAs fyi. You can use the space to absorb bigger contracts and thus be able to trade for stars.
I’m confused when you said “the last 5 years they had the best record in the NBA, and 3 of those 5 years they were number 1 seed.” If they had the best record in the nba for 5 years, who had a better seed than them?
In 2021 they were 3rd in the East behind Philly and Brooklyn and in 2022 they were 3rd in the East again behind Miami and Boston, but their record was definitely in the top 5 or top 10 of the NBA those years. However, the other 3 years, they had the best record in the NBA overall, and their consistency in the regular season the last few years is why they have overall the best record in the NBA over the last 5 years. Hopefully that makes sense.
Funny Nikola Jokic felt the same way about family first over basketball and so many trashed his personal choices.
These euro players are so much different people then the American born Narcissist playing around the leauge, and most of them dont even have a championship.
Sad.
The thumbnail scares me. Like damn imagine if the Warriors had CP, Steph, Giannis and Klay. Like they would literally be the best team ever. Fuck chemistry. That wouldn’t even matter at that point.
Giannis to Knicks would be massive.
Indeed, if he leaves it's alright. He's given his all.. "all they have to do is guard Giannis 1 on 1" .
I feel like you've said this every time
Meh... I think people: 1. Undersell what a big deal that injury was to Giannis first round. A low back injury is a big deal and he was OUT. And people undersell what a big deal he is to the Bucks. Sucks they lost but that's kinda like if MJ was injured out of the 98 playoffs. The Bulls ain't getting out of the EC let alone beating the Jazz. Some players are worth more than others and Giannis IS that player for the Bucks.
2. Ignore Bron's age and pretend he isn't getting old, but pretend like early to mid 30s is washed up for every other player on every other team with modern medicine. It isn't and the Bucks might be an older team but again... they ain't no 98 Bulls yet, and again, they did FINE.
Stuff can go wrong -- Giannis doesn't HAVE to stay in Milwaukee, but I hope he does. Hell train and draft the whole fam -- have all Greek Freaks on the Bucks. Why not?? Make them the face of Milwaukee and start a whole new Greek / Nigerian community -- they could use it!
It won't be the end of the world if he leaves -- but he's a big deal and he does love family. GIVE HIM FAMILY. Give him love. Give him chips. Support all his foundations. Cities like New York and LA, sports stars are a dime a dozen. In Milwaukee Wisconsin they aren't. Wisconsin worships and loves their sports stars. Hell sometimes our sports are so bad we gotta worship stars from neighboring states or college stars when we have 50 year droughts. But people bag on the Midwest -- between climate change and fam -- don't underrate the Midwest. There's something really nice about smaller markets. And he's got kids now -- seriously he doesn't wanna be draggin' them into New York or into the hate of Florida. And -- I think he also understands and appreciates that big egos in other teams mean big drama for a lot of teams.
I don't know the men personally but omg -- playing with Bron, Kyrie, Harden, guys like that all seem like a lot of emotional work. Maybe there's something I don't know, but Giannis might be young but seems like a great leader with a lot of guys who have 100% been behind him and vice versa.
Bro is smarter than most player
Bring Giannis to the Kings - the perfect jigsaw puzzle fit. Will be the most exciting team in the league by a mile.
That would be scary since they are a clone of the warriors
