What did giannis say?

He just apologized on his Instagram for saying something inappropriate during a live feed when a person said a bad comment. I think it was a trolling comment that he reacted to. It was regarding turkey.

Did anyone watch it live?

People were spamming the Turkey flag during his live feed and he said get that Turkey flag out of here.

Oh that's pretty much nothing. Thank you for explaining.

Yeah, he inserted a f*ng in there, as he usually does, which is the thing that bothered them. But it was just his mannerism and everyone following him knows that. Turks could not though.

He should not have apologized. But modern times, I guess. I wonder if the person who said a death threat to his wife apologized.

I'm just catching up on the drama and lol at that fake All-Star clown Sengun actually having the gall to say Giannis isn't a great passer. Fitting karma that they then lost in the title game. Can't wait until Houston comes to town cuz you know Giannis is gonna be out for blood. Happy for him and how much being on the podium means to him and to Greece. Hopefully this now makes him feel like he's mostly filled that obligation and he can take more summers off.

Giannis wishes he could have gotten the kind of coverages Sengun had throughout the tournament. Imagine Greece playing Latvia and Latvia opting to play man on Giannis with **** Davis Bertans. Bertans would get a concussion from the ball bouncing off his skull.

I like Sengun's game, and Houston has a good chance this year, but if they can't put it together, Sengun's inability to either shoot or defend the rim will probably be a big factor.

I don't like Sengun as a player at all, so it's makes for an easy enemy. You can't be a 7 footer with no real outside game and shoot below 50% and be taken seriously in my book.

Very cool that we should be able to get a clean read on where he's at relative to his peers this year. Should have a nice role for the Hokies.
