Earned not Given.. Giannis with a virtouso closeout & most organic chip in this era

[TheImmortal]

Props to him for being a professional and sticking with his squad till the wheels fall off and then winning a chip in legendary fashion. If only more stars were like him and a major contrast to LeStackthedeck and his posse. Hopefully this sends a message to the entire league.

He doesn't need to demand his damn respect....

Hes earned it and has it :cheers:

[ClipperRevival]

In the press conference, he said he could've joined a super team and win but didn't.

Organic is beautiful.

All he needed was to have the three best teams - Lakers, Nets, Clippers, to have injuries to most of their star players.

Great player and guy nonetheless but Bucks were going to be down 0-3 to the Nets before Kyrie injured his ankle landing on Giannis (and this is with Harden getting injured like a minute into game 1 and missing the next three games).

You mentioned 3 superteams that had injuries. The Nets were an absurd superteam and kyrie had it coming to him for being an asshole. But, as a fan of basketball, it's so good to see what the NBA is like without superteams. Games are more competitive, the matchups are quite enjoyable to watch. Giannis won this fair and square.

Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see the Nets lose.

But I don't think the Lakers or Clippers are superteams, they are both just top heavy like a lot of championship teams. I'm not knocking Giannis as a player because he's clearly a top four-five player in the league, but it's a FACT that the Bucks got lucky the the league's biggest super team had massive injuries to two of their three stars. Idk why people have such a hard time excepting that.

Coming from the same guy who jinxed them by prematurely saying the nets are going to be the league champions this year.

Cringe. Brad stevens wasn't good enough in leading the Cs to the finals, despite having three chances to do so.

Giannis needs to bust out a t-shirt that says

"ACTUALLY earned, not given"

Do it

[SATAN]

There is already a thread on the first page saying the exact same thing. Might as well lock this thread up mods. :rockon:

We all know it's cutting you deep

[ArbitraryWater]

And if he hadn't won (which was a likely outcome if the best teams didn't go down to injury, none of which were "organic"), you guys would have still called him not ready and a loser etc.


the ignorant, fickle, and stupid nature of people / sports fans.

This. I am as excited for anyone that the bucks won. Especially over CPFLOP. But this definitely is due to injuries even if you count DiVincenzo being out
