Giannis 2021:“It’s easy to go somewhere and go win a championship with somebody else"

[8Ball]

So it wasn't even 2 years until Giannis started publicly telling his front office to make moves or else he was gone.


What happened?



There are zero "loyalty" super stars left in this league that don't go out of their way to recruit/join top tier talent.



Looks like leaving their own fate to their GM doesn't always pay dividends. You don't always have a superstar GM like Jerry Kraus to deliver you a super team. Players have to force things.

[ArbitraryWater]

This is indeed true.


Dirk is genuiney the ony exampe of an ATG that stuck it out on insufficient teams, never making demands, in fact even rejecting offers from other superstars to team up.


I think Jokic woud be simiar.

Giannis has played on a small market team for 10 years. Dame for 11 years. I think that qualifies them as loyal.

If they played on 3-4 teams over that time then their loyalty could be questioned.

Translation: "Bronie should be given a title on a silver platter. It's not fair that teams other than the Lakers try to stack good players!!! Not fair at all!!! "

loyalty shouldnt be gauged by how long you stay in a city but how long you are willing to stay in a city on a poor team, especially as superstar. Giannis had no business moving teams the first 5 years.

Giannis even with a competent team made demands pretty quickly.

Giannis won without team hopping or collision already

It’s over.

Looks like this line must've struck a nerve.

Making demands after 10 years can't be described as quickly under any circumstances. And he hasn't demanded to be traded, he has just made it clear he doesn't want to be part of a rebuild.

The Bucks were well below .500 during his first 4 years so he definitely could have tried to force a trade after his rookie deal was up.

watching lebron stans try to desperately conflate Giannis’ and Dame’s situation with James is hilarious

To be fair Lebron's first stint with the Cavs was 7 years and he left as a free agent. He certainly earned the right to leave.

But leaving a 60+ win team to join the 2nd best player in the conference along with another All-Star wasn't a good look.

Yeah, OP just isn't very smart.

Kawhi is a bit nuts. I do give him credit for winning a ring with a team he clearly didn't want to play for, but something is off with this guy.

Wow brantards are proud of this bran legacy
