I am taking a half a half decade break from the Bucks when Giannis is gone. Need a few years to reset

Unlike the Albanians/Larry Sanders nightclub kerfuffle, the chair non-story makes complete sense because I distinctly never remember seeing video, yet I 100% believed it based on the amount of people simply telling me that it happened. I'm now convinced you guys entirely made up the Charlie Bell pizza party thing...

I'm glad this thread predates me posting here. I had a good chuckle on the Pau Gasol comp earlier in the thread.

The thing is, the chair workout almost certainly never happened, which means that the video almost certainly never existed. I’ve spoken with numerous scouts, execs, players, trainers, and media members, and not one remembers ever actually seeing the clip. I’ve obtained the broadcast-once, now-lost TV program in which the chair workout was allegedly aired, and it’s not there. No matter how sure you are you’ve seen the clip, you haven’t.

Yeah, I don't remember seeing the video. I thought the whole thing was the Bucks didn't see him workout against other players and a chair was used as a prop at some point. I'm sure I would've had a saved link to a GIF if the video actually existed.

Yi averaged 21/10 for his career*, the optimists won!
