Dude people called him the Robin to Middleton's batman. If that is not disrespect I don't know what is.

Thank you oh. I even forgot this

birdman:
Give me some examples. I personally havent seen anyone disrespect or diminish Giannis. I really am interested to know such instances

By pundits for the most part. We also saw what guys like CJ and Beal were chatting in the playoffs from the comfort of their living rooms.

birdman:
As in keeping composure, staying in the game and not getting blown out. We have a really young team that gets star struck when they see superstars on other teams. At this point, we just want them to execute on a nightly basis without falling apart. On any given night, any of the lottery teams has a shot at upsetting a powerhouse. We beat the Bulls to start this win streak. We are not even looking at playoffs right now

You're only 2.5 games behind the play in spot never say never.

You guys have beaten now the Hornets, Wizards, Bulls and Nets. Definitely not a fluke

Roland17:
@A40, you know I am coming for you and your scam right! 5th consecutive week now...Haba mana!

How many interceptions now? You were worried about Mahomes but your scam just dey distribute interceptions.

Lool is this guy even serious at all? A grandpa is leading the league in all categories and you still have the gall to dey mention me.

Have some shame brah. Your Patrick Mafraud threw for less than 200 yards and no touchdowns even threw a pick but fortunately his defense has started riding for him

Outside of htown, Hakeem didnt get that much play. Thats just the honest truth. People can reminisce now, but it was what it was.

Much play in what sense? Hakeem was the most respected foreign born baller probably of all time. I don't know why you mean by more play. Prime Hakeem was never disrespected by pundits and players alike like Giannis gets disrespected.

birdman:
What you think of as respect is really just name dropping to sell shows that sell ads. If you dont make much trouble and are in a small market, you wont get much play. Go ask Tim Duncan - highly respected, but didnt get much play. By the same token,rookie Lebron wasnt the best player in the league in his early years, but he had enough antics to keep the news mill rolling at the same time Duncan was at the top of his game. Lebron got more props than Duncan did, even when Duncan won that ring vs Cavaliers!!

This play na only you know Wetin e mean sha. I'm talking about respect by pundits and peers. Nobody questioned Tim Duncan's game and status from day 1, Lebron had been on SI cover since high school.

I'm not out here expecting players to have the same level of hype I'm speaking to flat out disrespect and diminishing of certain player's greatness inspite of his historic feats

birdman:
It is what it is. Nobody owes Giannis, or any other player anything. If you are going to keep your accent and stay in a small market, you cant get mad your name is not rolling off the pundits lips. No big deal as far as I am concerned.

some blockhead is going to read this and start talking about how I hate Giannis

No one is disputing this but if you're a pundit on any platform that should be taken seriously and not as a clown there should be a line and a level of achievement that puts a player clear of all doubts. The small market argument is an extremely arcane one. Patrick Mahomes plays in Kansas, Tom Brady plays in Tampa, Aaron Rodgers plays in Green Bay. In this era of social media where you can literally see every game. There is no hiding place.

kokanepyramid:
Ajakaja40 you better not give yourself a heart attack, you are not getting any younger. If I were you I will be more worried about my health than being said to be on the wrong side of history.
Just saying

What's this wrong side of history nonsense that keeps flying out your gangrenous mouth. Nigga you're a fan. A Male cheerleader more or less. It's not that deep. Fool.

kokanepyramid:
How does this change the fact you are full of hate for those making significant progress, you are the typical "enemy of progress" aka "bad belle".

I repeat ajakaja40 you are always on the wrong side of history, same way i caught you red handed hating on Lewis Hamilton LH44 on the formular One thread, while rooting for Seb Vettel claiming he is a better driver than LH44. Seb? our very own DJ-Spinall on race tracks? Someone my grand mother drives better than.

LH44 kept proving you wrong breaking records and setting new ones, he even got knighted in your face full of hate and Messi is doing same.

Ajakaja40 why are you always on the wrong side of history?

You're an absolutely unhinged lunatic. What is the meaning of this fuckery that just came from your leprous fingers. What would be the essence of sports and competition if everybody supported the same team or athlete

I'm a hater cos I prefer Ronaldo to Messi? Or Vettel to LH? What a smooth brained helmet you are. Are you also a hater for supporting Arsenal instead of other better and more successful teams?

What is this right side and wrong side of history foolishness you're chatting about, better go outside and touch grass you foolish dweeb. One would think these athletes share their accolades with you. Get a grip bozo. It's not that deep

Your grandmother drives better than a 4 time world champion? Lol. Lunacy is clearly your heirloom.

F#ck off my mentions you demented goblin

Warriors obliterating and ending that winning streak emphatically. The schedule guys didn't give them a chance tbh

Whether with or without LeProtocol. Lakers still a .500 team

Roland17:
You are forgetting E. Mobley

Yeah he is among the 4 bigs I was talking about

birdman:
Giannis is not marketable to the American audience. Period. Forget all the accolades they give him for being the good hardworking guy. The accent means they have to pay attention to hear what he is saying, and that is too much work for most people. We may think that is lazy, but it is what it is. If Giannis was more of a bad boy or dirty player, then at least the media would have an easy story to spin around him, just like in the movies. The bad african general, er player

Reminds me of Hakeem

Lol you just dey find excuse wey no dey. There is difference between not being marketable and general lack of respect. When you say marketable what does that even mean? I get that there are many players in any sport with more style than substance but it gets to a point where your achievements are undeniable and the bare minimum you should get is the highest level of respect

Now with your Hakeem analogy Hakeem was highly respected and revered, they called this man The Dream ffs, Perhaps there was a higher appreciation for greatness then than there is now because even Hakeem had not done what Giannis has done at 26, nobody has. Think about that, not Jordan, not LeNomad, not Duncan, not Shaq and not Kobe

I remember observing this Cavs team and they are looking like a big problem. Daarius Garland and Jarett Allen are definitely shoo in for All star appearance this season, the way they are beating the brakes off the Wizards is crazy. Even Kevin Love seems to have rediscovered his love for basketball.

Its pretty rare to see a team with 2 solid bigs, these guys have 4. Definitely will be a fun team to watch moving forward

patrickmuf:
Last year Lewandowski deserved it but even then, it can be argued that a lot of leagues were canceled so, other players didn't get a fair chance to compete for the awards.

This year, Messi deserves it just the same way I wouldn't have any qualms if Jorginho or Lewy were handed the award.

The stats and trophies favor any of the 3 contenders but one thing is certain, once Messi won the COPA, it was game over because of the headlines it generated after having been ridiculed for not winning any international trophy with the Argentine senior national team.

Which major league was canceled? Is it French League or Eredivisie players that were threats to Lewy??

I have always believed the award was a propaganda award, when Modric got it was just confirmation, since then I have not been bothered. I honestly do not care

kokanepyramid:
ajakaja40 you are always on the wrong side of history, where were you when peeps ridiculed him for not winning a National trophy? were you in coma when the ones he won were said to be undeserving since he did not win COPA, same COPA is now inconsequential according to you guys.

keep hating while he keeps proving y'all wrong.

Who is this ret@rd and why can't you hop the f#ck off my nuts for a second? From thread to to thread. Clearly you are insane.

Which year did most fans suggest Messi did not deserve the award besides 2010? STFU you demented ape

Roland17:
The Suns have to be very careful with how much they are putting into sustaining this winning run. When you consider that CP3 has historically suffered injuries that severely limits his impact on his team, I will advise Monty to cut how much he is using his core players.

Giannis on the other I will admit is not getting enough due but some of that may be attributed to the market where he plays in. It may not seem like a lot but if you understand how money is distributed in the NBA, you may see why I attribute some of it to the market. Imagine if Giannis played for the Knicks or my Celtics ?
As far as getting the respect for beating this Suns team then I disagree. Giannis was the best player in that series, had the better rotation but somehow they made it more difficult than it should be until Giannis, the best player in the series took matters into his hand.

Truth is winning is a habit, you can't decide to switch on and switch off when the car is in motion. We all know how stubborn CP3 is and a Cam Payne is more into getting his first than setting others up so the offensive efficiency is not nearly the same

A lot of it is deliberate if you ask me and I still narrow it down to Giannis not being from there, the whole market thing in this era of tech and social media is a tired excuse. He is being deliberately overlooked. LeNomad played in Cleveland and got his dues

I disagree with your disagreement, for starters the Bucks were the road team so they were destined to lose one or both games to a team as good as Phoenix was and secondly Jrue and Khris Middleton were two of the most inefficient high volume second options I have ever seen on a Championship team. There is nothing you can do when Holiday is taking 18 shots and shooting at a 36% clip while Giannis is taking only 2 shots more

Jodera:
Did you just say same stats or thereabouts?

Bring out Sanchez stats of 2015 or 2016(any of the two copa win year of your choice) let's compare it with messi stat.

Another thing is that when stats favor una, una no go talk, but if it doesn't, that's when we'll know balon dor na scam. When Messi had highest g/a in the years he didn't win the award, we no hear how balon dor was sentimental and hypocritical.

You were sleeping when Sanchez did 48 g/a in 2016? What were Messi's feat that was significantly higher than Sanchez considering Sanchez won the Copa with a smaller nation? Anyway I no too send these awards, I did not celebrate wildly when Lewa won The Best FIFA, I will not make too much noise when he didn't win this Complete Sport equivalent award either. It is what it is

Illimitable:
My sentiments exactly.

Plenty of people won Copa America(a completion of 8 nations) in the past and none of them became Ballon d’Or as a result.

The moment Messi won it, the status of Copa America suddenly became the toughest competition in history. This is the same competition that used to invite Japan and other nonsense countries to give it more life.

They hosted it 4 times in 6 years so that Messi could get plenty of opportunities to win it. They turned a usually 4-year competition into Carling Cup(annual event) so that the GOAT of Paris could at least get more opportunities to win it.

What a shame!

No mind these fraudulent people. Ojude Oba tournament oh is what they used to elevate agenda despite Messi being humiliated in every other significant tournament of note, At least myself and Raumdeuter have always been skeptical about these individual awards and everyone is finally seeing the light that's my only concern. Whether Lewandowski wins the award or not we all know only Messisexuals believe Lewandowski was not robbed

Have to give props to the Suns. For some reason they can't seem to get their respect. Their run to the Finals last season was ridiculed and diminished but its clear that since their 8-0 bubble run the culture was set and like their Coach said "This isn't the same ol Phoenix Suns" turns out he was right. A guy like Ayton who didn't get his money and is balling out of his mind instead of pouting. Bridges playing elite defense. And my guy Cam Johnson, the Suns will be very lucky to keep that dude. Hopefully Giannis gets his due credit for beating that team

liveLongNprospa:
How does Messi deserve it better than Lewa?
You must think Lewa was just a '9'.
Na them Raumdeuter and A40 suppose tell you sef

Messi did basically what Alexis Sanchez did and Alexis Sanchez didn't win Balon D'or. Same stats or thereabout, same Copa America. That tells you what you need to know about these polling booth awards. As a player your priority should simply be to win trophies, hanging your head on individual awards is a waste of time

SmooshCHN:
Planted the Serbian flag and played the national anthem. I loveeeettt

Hahaha Jokic brothers really showed their street cred by pulling up to the Heat game, we all know nothing was going to happen but the fact that they showed up and then them Jimmy Butler wey dey make mouth and the rest no showed. Just the perfect storm

Roland17:
So much for “This is my City”..

After beating up Markief in Denver, Jokic returns to Miami to slap them with a 24/15/7 before taking his brothers to shut down their Miami club!

Lmaoo Udonis Haslem and all those Heat boys with all their mouth. My hand fall for Jimmy Butler when he was clapping like a project chica. That's when I knew all dem boys were frauds.

Just crown Jokic King of Miami. These people need to watch a Euroleague game and see how rowdy Serbs, Greek and Turkish ultras get. They think these guys can be rattled or what?

Roland17:
Teams are looking for a reaction especially as we approach the half way point of the season. Kemba’s situation was predictable to me because when I heard he was going to NY to be coached by Thibs? I knew there was going to be a big problem. Thibs expects a lot from his players defensively and that is his weakness. Thibs wants his players to go hard every second, he does not go deep into his roster anyways and doesn’t have time to cater to glass players. Remember the hot start to the season with Fournier and Kemba? Well, all of that has mellowed and the Knicks had to make a decision.

As for Blake, he has endured a very difficult start to the season, Aldridge and Brown have offered them more. I think he gets back in the rotation, his skill set will be needed in the post season. The Nets are desperately looking for offensive contribution from everyone not name KD and right now they have only LA and Mills doing that consistently and that is troubling. Like I said earlier, as we approach Christmas, teams will be making strong roster decisions.

Kemba's numbers have been atrocious to be fair. He is not playing well enough or scoring enough for his lack of defense. For me he just isn't a good fit for a Thibodeau team so it begs to question why did they go for him in the first place.

For Blake I think they are going to need him at some point. There is just something off about that Brooklyn squad, they just can't seem to ever get past second gear win or lose its just one long dirge

birdman:
I had nothing to do with it abeg. Im a lover not a babalawo . I wish Harden nothing but the best, for real. But this is why pride is so dangerous - you make foolish decisions based on an inflated estimation of your skill. I do hope he gets his mojo going though. At least he is trying, and it wouldnt surprise me if he heats up in the second half of the season.

I also think all that weight he gained has come back to bite his butt. Messing up and putting all those pounds seems to have set up a chain reaction. He's now gone from iron man to michelin man. You can see that even the burst he had to drive by people and get to the hoop is gone. He spams 3's but even at his peak he was a middling 3pt shooter borderline bad talkless of now

Knicks have taken Kemba out of their rotation, Nets have taken Blake out of their rotation. Hmmm

Roland17:
Have some shame! Have some shame!! I take God beg you..

He has thrown interceptions in 4 consecutive games and is ranked 11th, 4 INTs away from number 1. Have some shame! There is a reason the scam joined the Bucs.. He saw an excess of weapons and now they have taken the ball away from him after Bruce roasted him after their last game.

He has the best offensive weapon so why should he not lead the league in TDs? A scam tap dancer that has Mike Evans, Antonio Brown, R. Gronk, C. Godwin and OJ Howard as receiver should lead the league in TD! Have some shame!!!!

I always ask you, who is the GOAT throwing to? But like you model, you Dey always tap dance away from that question. Even with a broken toe the GOAT is reeling the Packers. We saw what the Packers were without the GOAT. Replace your scam as QB in that Bucs squad and they will still remain competitive.

Have some shame…

What is the big deal in throwing interceptions? Your Aaron Fraudgers that hoards interceptions how many Superbowls have that led him and your Green Bay shitpackers? Facts remain GOAT Brady is not top 10 in INTS so let us hear word

Where is the excess weapons and what had they won before the GOAT came to save them from mediocrity?

Antonio Brown and Gronk have missed more than 10 games combined. Mike Evans is great but barely a top 5 receiver in the league, I will put Cooper Kupp, Adams, D-Hop and Tyreek Hill comfortably ahead of him, Godwin is not even in the discussion.
OJ Howard?? What is that? Is that an animal, place or thing? I will list 15 TEs better than OJ Howard without breaking stride.Whutt?

Aaron Fraudgers on the other hand has Aaron Jones, AJ Dillon, Davante Adams and arguably the best O-Line in the league to protect him, Last season he had an O-Line of Linsley, Bakhtiari and Jenkins.

Besides I saw GOAT Brady go to Superbowls with Chris Hogan, Julian Edelman and Danny Freakin AMENDOLAA. Nobody in their right minds would claim they were ever top 10 receivers in their entire career. Aaron Fraudgers has no excuse

A toe? I saw Phillip Rivers play with a torn ACL. A freaking toe? Gerrarahia man

https://sports.yahoo.com/shocking-details-of-tom-bradys-2018-thumb-injury-show-just-how-bad-it-was-170047301.html


Competitive where? Without GOAT Brady Tampa had the longest streak without a playoff appearance in the NFC so I don't know what you mean by competitive, and yet the GOAT shows up and boom instant Superbowl, never you compare that fraud and regular season merchant in Green Bay to him again.

In one season Brady has matched his NFC Championship win total. I can divide his career into 3 and each one is better than Aaron Fraudgers entire career combined

Illimitable:
Romario couldn’t leave Brazilian pröstitutes alone. He got his brace under 20 minutes to destroy his manager’s challenge.

Like the great Michael Irvin said, those 'IAN' women are different. Brazilian, Colombian, Dominican, Peruvian

Illimitable:
United fans are a weird bunch. Without Ronaldo and Bruno(the 2 best players in the squad), United would be in a relegation zone in the league and would be 3rd/4th in the CL table.


Yet, these 2 players get the most criticisms from those brainless Messi fans that support Man Utd. Now that they have realized scoring isn’t a problem for Ronaldo in the PL, they have changed the gear to “he doesn’t press”. When he was first signed, the initial complaint was that he was too old and he wouldn’t score in England.

Why should the greatest goal scorer on the planet add pressing to his resumé? Which other prolific goal scorer was pressing? Did Ibra press? How was Mourinho able to build a team around him to thrive? Does Lewandowski press? Even Pep said he could never ask Messi to press because he needed him fresh and clear headed when they have the ball in the opponent’s box.

A coach must show favoritism to his best players. Romario would miss training and bed pröstitutes throughout the week and on the day of the game, he would outperform those that didn’t miss training. Romario asked Cryuff if he could go to Brazil for 2 days and celebrate their carnival. Cryuff said if he scored a brace in the next game, he would give Romario 4 days to go enjoy in Brazil.

Romario scored 2 goals in the first half and told Cryuff his plane leaves in an hour. Cryuff had no choice than to substitute him off so he could leave for Brazil in the middle of the season. Cryuff said he broke his own rules plenty of times to please Romario. This is normal in the dressing room. The best players get favors from their managers. Even SAF broke his own rules for Cantona.

This part dey kill me I swear

Roland17:
No be only victory na vanquish! You sef sabi say your scam was irrelevant in today’s W. There is a reason Bruce took the ball away from him and rode Fournette.

How many INT him don throw this season now? E neva reach 8 or 9 so? It has become a weekly diet. If he is not tap dancing, he is throwing interceptions or doing both.

Aje….With all that being said, I need you to pay your weekly homage to the GOAT and my Packers, especially when you consider your Bees are getting humiliated every week at this point. I will not tolerate any DISRESPECT this time. BE OF YOUR BEST BEHAVIOR WHEN YOU ARE AT IT!

Irrelevant? Lool! Brady uses all 11 men on the field. Not his fault Fraudgers doesn't understand the concept of versatility. If he did he wouldn't have made just 1 Superbowl in 15 seasons as a starter

He's not even top 10 in INTS. While leading the league in TD passes. If there's one thing Aaaron Fraudgers disciples share in common worldwide its lack of shame. How is Grandpa Tom Brady still leading the league in TDs at 44 despite missing his top 2 receivers for more than half the season. Fraudgers is not even top 5

Forget the Steelers. Season is over. When we tied with freaking Detroit na there I comot mind

birdman:
you are very happy these day, ba? LeKing will be bounce back, dont you worry

Naah. I'm saying teams are playing a lot harder against the Lakers than other teams. Which explains why Sacramento was getting destroyed by a Memphis without Ja. Even look at yesterday's game look at the lead the Lakers had and only ended up winning by 4. Every single win the Lakers have had to sweat

See the same Sacramento that took Lakers to triple overtime losing by 30 to a Memphis without Ja Morant this is further proving my theory. You will see the film Detroit would do as well

Roland17:
@A40, if you think I will let another abysmal week from your tap dancing scam slide, then you are on a long thing.

How many interception has he thrown now?

Abi this one don shack ogogoro?

No be only one interception e throw? You see how he calmly leaned on the running game and delivered the victory in hostile territory. You knew when he got the ball with 2 minutes the left the game was won. That's how GOAT do

andrewbaba44:
None ,with 5 teams only how many are likely to get past ? Highest 2

2014 World Cup 2 African get past the group stage

2010 World Cup Ghana did so well and they almost made the semis ,did you ask uefa to add one spot for Africans then ?

Europe is taking about 50 percent of the World Cup spot for your information

Asking them to add 1 spot for African teams is not that deep ,so Na you know why you carry the matter for head like GALA

I'm sure you read small bible. What happened to the servant that was given 1 talent and he went to keep instead of multiplying?

2 African team got past group stage in 2014 what did they do after that?

Since 2002 only Ghana made quarterfinal. In a span of 4 tournaments just one quarterfinalist and you're talking about an extra spot. Which company do they do that at?

FYI Europe is only taking 13 sides to the World Cup, so I don't know which Maths professor taught you that 13 is 50% of 32

etidy:
As in I shock when someone said Harden was back, that one no be hot take na freezing take.

Na Durant e pain pass for, kyrie and Harden has let him down
Watchout for the suns!

Back to where? He's been worse than Westbrook this year IMO. He's a finesse Westbrook. Notice any night he has less than 10 FTs how he looks so gnarly while spamming assists and rebounds like Draymond Green with beards and braids

I personally think birdman's otumorkpo is at work because how is a guy niggas swore was a #3 SG of all time and most dynamic scorer ever looking like Raymond Felton all cause of a rule change

Durant has entered one chance bayi. He better pray Lamarcus Aldridge keep drinking from that fountain of youth
