Can't lie brehs. Giannis alone has me rethinking the weight we put on rings when judging a player's legacy. Put this dude on a decent team and he's in the GOAT conversation imo :hubie:
He'll get his ring count up after forcing that trade to the Spurs next off season after being in awe of cornrows victor for 82 games

Giannis and Joker are great examples of why small market teams ain't the move if you wanna compete in GOAT conversations

Hard as hell to get any free agents worth a damn to wanna live in Denver or Milwaukee. They would've both had multiple rings by now and their stock in the league would be even higher because the marketing in bigger cities goes way farther especially on network shows, the international business for that city would go up too cuz they politicking with their home countries.

Joker woulda had them serbs in the east coast going crazy in MSG :wow: doing the Brunson celebration with 4 finger rings on n shyt

The Bucks getting packed up by Indiana is lowkey a top 3 most important subplot for the latter half of this decade. OKC flaming out in round 2 or 3 is another.

Because that’s the most obvious offseason trade that can be made that changes the landscape of competition the same way the Heatles forming and KD going to GSW did.

Only Houston can give a comparable trade package but our fit and timeline isn’t as perfect for him as the Thunder’s. He’d be their 2000 Shaq.

Bucks/pacers are getting the” buried on NBATV playing at 7 pm when the tnt/espn game is starting at 7:30 “ treatment right?

You’d think it would be cavs/hawks or bulls or whoever .. but you can’t do that to the 1 seed right? :russ:

Next year’s playoffs are gonna be interesting broadcasting wise in the 1st round. Which fanbases are gonna be mad at having their games on Amazon or Peacock lol

Rings shouldn't count anyway....team construction is purely up to management....and a team accomplishment....

That said Giannis is probably the most unique player ever but he definitely isn't the best basketball player ever.
