For as many people who praised Giannis for not joining a superteam and winning where he was drafted, there was always going to be insecure stans who were gonna be ready to kick dirt on him.

This year was a failure. It doesn't take away that he did win a ring as the best player on a team that was not a super team.

You see it.. all of this is because Giannis is a foreigner. They don’t have real Stan’s or haters

No one is picking Giannis first if the goal is to win a chip

So which players you picking ahead of him, beloved?

All these threads shytting on Giannis but none of you goofy mfs know what point ya'll are making.

So Giannis' team got dumped out in a terrible loss...so what does that mean? Does it mean he isn't one of the best players in the league? So who goes ahead of him? If the whole league is drafted, who is being picked ahead of Giannis? Let's just put our cards on the table and say what we REALLY mean. Who is better than Giannis and how many?

James Harden is more skilled for sure. :mjlit:

Not when you miss half the series, you can't name a single team who would win a series with their best player missing half the games in a series
That would hold true if not for the fact the only game they won in the series was without Giannis.

The Bucks had the best record in the league, a consensus top five player, multiple all stars, multiple DPOY candidates, depth, championship experience, considered one of the favorites to win it all.

They lost in the first round to the 8th seed in five games.

This was a failure of a season. That’s the point people are making.

Trying to change the conversation to how accountants go to work, who would get drafted first, or how this doesn’t change his all time status doesn’t change that.

Sure, I’m sure the team learned something, but they’d learn something if they went 10-72 next year.

Sports media and Coli hypocrites are much softer on Euros, so the media and the Coli will forever treat Giannis’ 1 ring like they treated Dirk’s 1 ring in 20 years, meanwhile they will continue to disrespect players with multiple rings and MVPs like Curry, KD, Lebron whenever they get bounced out of the playoffs:mjlol:
To be fair Giannis isn't slandered to the extent of those guys is because he ain't as accomplished as those guys nor has he done it long as those guys have, and are still doing. And he gets killed yearly for having no bag/skill. And I thought the whole there's no failure thing was bullshyt and I've actually seen people call him out on it and disagreeing with him.

This is corny. Giannis won because he was on the most talented team remaining in the playoffs due to injuries. He earned it but this super team shyt is bullshyt.

No it’s because he’s a foreign player that brown noses the media. American media puts on kids gloves with foreign players besides Embiid who is the most Americanized of all of them.
