Does kd even wanna be the face of the nba like that? He don’t really fukk with the media or play the good guy role
:patrice:

Also it’s possible to win, enjoy the game, be a family man, hard worker, and be the face of the nba

Some of my Nigerian friends don't like how he is so attache to greece. Though he was born there they did not treat him well until he became legit. and thats racist as fk.

I can understand that but it’s like me having a deeper connection to America than to my parents home country even though America has a trash track record when it comes to Black people. I can totally understand him needing to tap in more but his experience for the most part is rooted in his Greek experience.

:manny:

that’s Giannis’ choice. People get real weird telling other folks how to feel about their own experiences with race in their country.

That 'no skills' comment by Harden is clearly still burning in his soul like ether. Beard living rent free in his head, even after a championship and beating the Nets.

This is like when KD didn't feel fulfilled after ringing with GSW and people were saying they didn't count. He was insecure about that and Giannis is insecure about this. Emphasizing the 'hard worker' part now because he doesn't feel confident he'll ever dominate through skills a la Kobe the way Harden has to do.

I kinda feel bad for Giannis. I think if he could, he would take back those comments on Beard's defense. He was just poking the bear(d) and didn't expect him to go nuclear on him by saying people don't really take him serious as a hooper. The more Giannis keep talking shyt, the more obvious it becomes he wants Beard's approval because he knows Harden is one of the most respected players in the league in terms of skills and is considered a pure hooper.

Giannis feeling like the euro outsider he is and trying to embrace the role now.

This kind of rivalry is good for the NBA in any case. :ohlawd:

The Thunder took GSW to 7 games and had a 3-1 lead.. they had the talent there. Durant can choose to do whatever he wants but the talent was there on the Thunder. He didn't carry that team by himself
Well, for starters they actually faced the 73-9 Warriors and not an injured Nets and two teams in the Hawks and the Suns that didn't even make the playoffs last season. You think the 2018 Rockets or 2016 Thunder would have trouble beating those squads?
