Love hooping enough to piss away a chance at a chip partying in Miami? :usure:

A lot of fans conflate a players talent/skill to their work ethic.
? I had to look up what you were talking about, I guess you mean him being at Rolling Loud? That was after their season was already over. Plus he was injured in the Bucks series himself. James Harden is a hooper, he doesn't do the media, "face of the league" stuff is all I meant by that, he's always at summer runs and the Drew League.

I meeeeeeeeeeaaaaaan excluding Bron, its safe to say MJ and Kobe had fukkery and they are the only other consensus faces of the league in the last 3 decades. No disrespect to either (RIP MAMBA & GIGI), but being in the mix lead to the issues MJ and Jobe had in a non basketball related sense.

Giannis is just shading Harden (which Harden deserves for talking greasy on Giannis), while setting the personal boundary that he's not interested in doing extra shyt associated with being a face/the face of the league. It seems in his thought process the extra endeavors are simply distractions from work (basketball) and family. I understand and respect it


Kobe was never really "in the mix" like MJ. Kobe slipped in CO but besides that he kept to himself and wasn't buddy buddy with any players just like Giannis is. From like 18-22 Kobe was kind've in the Hollywood life and hung out with TMAC a lot. But he didnt get into any drama during that time and after that he stayed away. Whereas MJ was constantly in the mix

What I get from Giannis is that he doesn't want nor care to be looked at as a star among the likes of Jordan, Kobe, Bron, etc. I mean that's cool and all but...

When he rejected to work out with Bron, KD, and others a few summers ago that said everything I needed to know about him :mjpls: I still think he's a great player top 5 in the league but it's time he comes to understand and accept that he's viewed as a star in this league and to stop being cocky deferring away from it.

Milwaukee ain't winning another chip bruh...y'all were just lucky this year. Brooklyn had y'all number if not for Kyrie going down mid-series.

As a first gen child of Nigerian immigrant he's Anthony Joshua status unfortunately black people across the diaspora have some within their ranks who are comfortable with cacs/around cacs, or flat out prefer cacs. I just don't dap em and keep it cordial/formal.
:yeshrug:
Anthony joshua does a lot for nigeria , its not his fault his parents decides to leave

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
