Giannis: This will be the hardest championship you could ever win

[Primetime]

Lol y’all nikkas the one sitting at home but tellin players this ring don’t count, that shyt don’t feel weird to y’all?

All this time nyggas calling for asterisks not realizing the asterisk could state "hardest championship to win ever" in the footnote

Calling for asterisks is only fun when used to belittle the winners tho, not further glorify them

 

[KingJay]

We see that overtime all the asterisks people put on titles fade anyway
This gonna be a battle of attrition and due diligence
I'm excited to see who comes out on top

Having to pause and then a quick season with playoffs does make it tough..but no fan pressure and no travel can make it easy too

- no travel
- neutral court with no fans
- fresh legs for the entire playoff run

There's both pros & cons to the current set of circumstances, but it undoubtedly favors the more talented team in any potential series. The elements that would normally play spoiler (wear & tear, road games in hostile environments) aren't a factor.

The NBA has the ability to just move the bubble somewhere else

Also the NBA has not been paying rent at their store on Times Square since the start of Rona but they make hundreds of millions if not at least a billion a year

definitely..PG said he fully recovered as well. A lot of guys got a well needed break

This going all come down to whatever narrative you wanna spin. If Harden wins people going put an asterisk and say it was easy. If Bron wins his stans going say it's the hardest, the people who don't like him going say it's the easiest.

 

[Fortunate Lee]

Whether it’s hard or easy is up for a reasonable discussion

I think playing on neutral ground is why I would disagree with this opinion, though...there’s no real pressure

I’m a huge Bron fan, but this got nothing to do with him..the whole situation is messed up

 

[Bigblackted4]

I agree some of these players will never be this focused

 

[Hersh]

i been calling the hardest chip..

 

[Conscious Pilot]

A ring is a ring... this year has a lot more variables, but if a champion is crowned.. then they’re the champs.


That ring doesn’t count shyt is bytchmade. You bust your ass to get all the way to the championship and win it, it’s a ring

 

[p00rky]

I hope the Lakers win so I can hear the Lebron haters excuses once again.

No it’s nothing narrative driven about it at all, this shyt is deadass a church league tourney. In fact it’s really those with a narrative that are tryna convince everyone that this playoff run isn’t gimmicky. This shyt finna be too sweet, and these players and media pundits kno it, that’s why they tryna spin it
