chic2pimp: Years ago Jay compared Giannis to Durant on tv. Durant runs into Jay at a party and warns him to never make that comparison again. Fast forward to 2021, Jay told this story on espn when the nets were up 2-0 against the bucks. when bucks finally beat nets, the chill was there.all the players congratulated each other.Giannis and Durant jus dey walk past each other |

benji93: Funny enough Giannis said something in the lines of "I could easily have gone and formed a superteam and won a championship. But it feels special to do it this way" Make I go find the quote. |

See dem! Dem wan distract us from the Assembler in Chief, the only one renowned for taking his talents across the 4 cardinal points of the league to form super teams!! Try as hard as you can we know!!!! As it stands today, Giannis/ Kawhi are the only exceptions, more so Giannis because he did it in a small market.. as for the rest? Ole ni everybody, yahoo ni babalawo!! 2 Likes 1 Share |

steady986: Probably. BUT I didnt like when he said that. The press will help make that this big, negative argument that overshadows the win. After career is over, nba cats are going to be your number 1 support structure. Dont sh** where you eat. Contract money will only get you so far. At some point you will need older players who are successful in business and non profits. Lebron, magic, shaq etc Im sure he will learn this sooner or later. Dont make enemies just for sound bite sake 4 Likes |

Giannis vs AD is no longer a debate, now they've started with the Giannis vs KD. At least let the guy enjoy the parade first 4 Likes |

This year's finals just reiterates Olajuwon quote, a good big guy will always be better than a good small guy. If we match the starting 5s of both teams by postion, all of the Bucks players except for one had the height advantage. Lopez>Ayton Giannis>Crowder Middleton>Booker Jrue > CP3 The only match up where the Suns had the height advantage was Bridges vs Tucker, but even in that instance the Bucks player was the natural better rebounder. The height differential can be see in the rebounding number and points scored in the paint. Sometimes old fashion, bigger is just better is just true. 2 Likes |

birdman: Giannis in his free spirit may not have meant any hate or beef with his statement but trust the media to twist and turn those words against him. Omo it comes with that territory, him go dey alright. Him com be person wey no send media... so he's good. KD is the biggest snake in the history of bball, big snake ,big coward but him still stand strong. So our boi is good. 1 Like |

joshboo: Giannis had owned Ayton through the first 5 games, but yesterday's own was way too much. It got to a point I was thinking the violation going on should be grounds for Ayton throwing a punch or at least telling his coach to give him help. Dude was just so helpless on some of those plays that it reminded me of those times as a little kid, due to uneven numbers you were allowed to play football with the bros them and uncles and they will just be bullying you across the field |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:08pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
birdman: Lol. The only people that will get offended by this are the people who have won championships only by forming super teams. And dem no plenty so Giannis is in good hands |
Re: The NBA Begins by Khanben: 8:08pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
steady986: Nice |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:10pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
I say Giannis is currently the best player in the league, even better than LeBron, and it's AD they're concerned about |
Re: The NBA Begins by steady986(m): 8:11pm On Jul 21, 2021 |
Khanben: Thanks |

etidy: I thought you people were advocating for AD to be Finals MVP. So why the sudden turnaround? 1 Like |

Khanben: P. J. is even still about 35 pounds heavier than Bridges, so he's still bigger overall. |
