I mean, that's pretty fair.

Have a friend who works for a food bank, they told me Giannis basically pays for all the diapers for low income families in Milwaukee.

He's so wonderful.

Giannis: “Nothing. Just get a ring now.”

All-time scoring list - He's either 165 (or 163 depending if it updated for tonight) - In the last 10 games he passed a lot of high-scoring current NBA guys despite being significant younger. Beal, Kyrie, Davis, Kemba, and Love (and BroLo).
He will be in top 115 this year barring an injury. Top 75 at age 29, Top 50 at age 30, and even with a total slowdown of say 50% due to injuries/being washed up, he would be Top 25 at age 35.
Just crazy considering how bad he sometimes looked offensively.
ETA: Just realized he passed AD in rebounds this week as well, lol

This was a 2 for 1 situation. IE - Everyone on the court knew Giannis was getting a shot up immediately. He dunks on the entire team anyways. Peak Jordan was great at creating a quick jump shot in those situations. Go ahead and freeze the frames mid-drive. At no point does this look like a dunk until it happens. Check out the Pistons quickly turning their heads away from the scene of the crime, and the victim (Livers) looking incredulous. The look on Giannis's face: He can't believe the carnage either. The reaction from the crowd and his teammates looks more like disbelief than anything. Heads immediately look up to the replay as if to say "Did I just see that?" Needless to say: Buy your tickets & watch every damn game. It won't last forever.

I just want to stay living in this moment, watching Giannis in his prime, the best player in the NBA, playing for our Milwaukee Bucks. Bringing absolute magic every single night. What a life as a Bucks fan.

To be fair a lot of people eat a Banana for energy pre game or during exercise. Weight training, runners, often in a short break during cardio sports.

Kind of strange for Freak to embrace a "villain" role. I wonder if he's doing that in response to some of the goofy (but funny) reactions to "Ladder-gate."
