Giannis Thread - 2 Time MVP - The Contract discussions

All this Giannis news is troubling. Shouting matches with fans? What is going on!?

I did coke with oj mayo so it’s kind of the better alternative

He used my own words against me-

I sometimes go back to this video and think to myself... "What in the hell happened here?" His shot was so fluid. Damn you, Kidd.

Watch on YouTube

The thing I don't understand/agree with is when people say that Kidd did irreparable damage to his shot. Like how is that possible? Did he give him some cursed potion or something? Why can't he just go back to his old form? Sounds like bs to me.

(not picking on you either, unless you're one of the people that believe it)

As to how he got such a weird hitch in his jump shot, I have no clue how that really developed. When people blame Kidd, it's more because the first few seasons he was our coach, he specifically told Giannis and Parker not to shoot threes. I can't imagine that does well for a player's confidence.

Yes the hitch is weird. Did he have it last season ?

Wondering if he learned it from Korver.

LeBron was not a good shooter till Ray Allen gave him shooting lessons. Ray has one of the smoothest motions. Get Ray Allen as Giannis shooting coach.

I bet mke_design would as well.

Can't believe Giannis unfollowing people on instagram means he wants to be traded.

If that puts pressure for changes to our Front Office, GM Owners and Coach ... I am totally fine with it, if this is his intentions. But ShootingJ here said that he does it every year and its normal

[HaroldinGMinor]

I hope this is just him not wanting to see all the trash opinions going around after the loss to the heat.

If he thinks that's bad he should see what they're saying about Siakam.

Late night, after hours after a few rounds of mojitos at Cubanitas. Had been at 720 prior. Without divulging too much personal info. Wasn’t the first athlete - but only Milwaukee one. But I haven’t done drugs or drank in 6 years so there is a happy ending.

What an immature and passive-aggressive way to get that message across, don't you think? If he doesn't have the kind of relationship with the front office and Bud where he can openly speak to them about the team that's a much bigger problem.

I'm sure he just wants a break from the noise after losing again in the playoffs.

The obsession for small market stars to leave their teams needs to stop.

Do these dopes really want a league with 4 stacked teams and then a bunch of garbage?

Well, the media is going to run with that story in whichever way they like. I hope it’s only Giannis putting pressure on ownership to make some moves.

[humanrefutation]

Ugh. My stomach is tied in knots thinking about this.

Him meeting with ownership is to be expected. I imagine they wanted his feedback about Bud and the roster. But it also makes me nervous as ****.

[Beorn]

If this was true, we would have produced at least 1 Euroleague-level player who is under 30 in the last few years.

Ioannis Papapetrou[...]in all of Europe.

Jesus, I am going to make to printscreen this post and share it with friends, they still laugh when they recall the time you mentioned as possible Greek NT callups Fotsis (who was 40yo at the time and playing in his neighborhood, regional-league club) and Apostolidis (who never became a starter in any of the **** Greek A1 teams, and was playing in the 2nd division at the time of the post)
Or the time you were comparing Chrysikopoulos with Larry Bird in another board


Of all the players you mentioned it this post, only Papapetrou is a starting Euroleague player, and Sasa is an excellent shooter who can't guard Yi's chair.
None else can be trusted to play consistently 15 mins in a competitive EL team, sadly:
Thanasis is a BCL-level player, Mitoglou and Papajohn have some potential but their were net negatives last year in their limited roles, Koniaris was a terrible guard who couldn't dribble or pass and won't be part of Olympiakos' team next year, Bochoridis failed miserably in Panathinaikos and has been moderately successfull in relegation-zone greek teams, Agravanis is a moron who was an average Eurocup player last year after being the 5th big of Olympiakos for a couple of years, Larentzakis has been a consistently mediocre guy in BCL who flopped in a below average spanish team last season, Athinaiou -despite being healthy- played in less than half of his team's games in his 2-year euroleague tenure, while Nikolaidis and Kalaitzakis have played 25 mins of EL basketball TOGETHER, and that only because Nikolaidis was forced to play in the senior Oly team because they had 7 active players at some point of the season. Poku has not played to a level above the 2nd greek division yet

What does he look like, a Raptors fan

I am curious which camp wanted this leaked and for what purpose

[emunney]

Seems like it could just be an exit interview but who knows.
