Giannis once again proves you don't have to take the EASY WAY OUT

[hiphopanonymous]

Lot's of superstars tuck their tail between their legs and collude when they either don't make the big stage, or make it but fail to win it.

Not Giannis. Most legitimate NBA ring since Dirk :applause: The ring chasing era is DEAD. No collusion built teams even made it to this NBA Finals :oldlol:

[Airupthere]

Waited how many years? 7, 8? Started from the bottom. Didnt enter the league selfproclaiming to be the chosen one. Worked his ass off. Khris became a star alongside him, didnt choke teammates games. Didnt recruit stars. Didnt leave the bucks and delivered a ring in a very impressive manner.

[hiphopanonymous]

Most amazing ring I've seen since Dirk wiped away a superteam the exact same way :applause:

Can't believe I'm defending bron but the 2010 Cavs or 2016 Thunder would win a title in this run. You can't compare the suns or hawks to the Big 4 Celtics or 73 win warriors. Had KD and Lebron faced a soft path they wouldve won "organic" too. The thunder in particular would Molly whoop the suns or hawks.

They'd have never made it through the Playoffs.

Why do you have a problem with someone changing teams in free agency?

Who? The thunder were unbelievably dominant in that 2016 run. You really think they'd lose to baby Trae hawks or Booker suns? Durant almost beat them this year with his whole help hurt. If he had his healthy thunder cast it would've been a wrap as he was a pinky toe away from doing it alone in game 7.

Organic >> superteams..

Giannis was a Kevin Durant shoe size away from losing.

The blue print to multiple championships is still the lebron way:

Join garbage ass losing team and rebuild it ala LeGM.

Aka, try to collude and have the best players join forces. You can't make this stuff up. In 2010, most of the league, media, and fans knew that was a sham and were against it when LeBron joined with Wade and Bosh.

Modern day LeBron stans will literally justify anything for their God. This is their concept of "the best form of winning." Perhaps next year, Giannis, KD, Steph, Kawhi, and Luka should all join forces, win a title, and then have the world sing their praises.

The only way it could have been better is if he hadn't been on a team that won a conference title without him.

Bucks traded all their draft picks to get Jrue Holiday.

Lakers did the same in summer of 2019 for AD.


I don't see a difference.

Why do you have a problem with someone changing teams in free agency?

Because too much player movement is bad for the league.

Fans can’t invest in players or in teams when their components are changing year to year.

And players are just playing free agency tinder and swiping right and leaving or cheating on their team every few summers.

There’s no investment. There’s no growth. For fans, which controls the product, which control what these players are making.

You have the right to work where you want to work, the employer is the NBA. If you don’t like where you’re drafted, and you don’t wanna play in the NBA, go play in Europe.

But when player movement and collusion is superseding team owners, that’s a problem. The inmates are running the asylum.

Look at the way Milwaukee is reacting to this homegrown, fan invested, organic championship? It’s the first meaningful one since 2015. No asinine amounts of player movement.

This is like your 7th thread in the last 48 hours about the same exact thing

Solid post. But these guys won't get it. To them playing nba 2k is tantamount to real life basketball. They like stacked up "all time great" teams. Lol.

Wtf? Lol, alright. AD is the same as Jrue. :oldlol:

Its called building your team in free agency trades. Why upset when Lakers did the same thing as the bucks?

The league gave the players too much power and this is what we get. I don't blame the players. It's their prerogative to choose where they play. The league shouldn't have relinquished control in the CBA. At the end of the day they're all contract employees. Strange to call anything in the NBA "homegrown".

Yeah but you're saying AD=Jrue. Lol. That right there says no one should be talking to you.

Lakers and Giannis made trades in the off season to build their team. They did it the same way.

Bill Russell is overrated by the way.
