Giannis Thread - On Asking for a Trade - "I am not this kind of guy, they would have to kick me out”.

Giannis is a bit Dad-corny sometimes, but

1) he is laser focused on winning
2) he does things for the community without being asked
3) he is thoughtful in interviews and not a dick to anyone except James Harden
4) he was a true unknown-to-all-time-great story

The NBA had its face of the league dropped into its lap and has done such a terrible job of making him that for casuals and die-hards because he's played in one of the smallest markets in the league.

Giannis probably actually has worldwide ambitions. You may not know it, but Nigeria has the 3rd or 4th largest film industry in the world (depending on valuation or number of films). Could definitely see his company giving opportunities to Nigerian directors

Do this is a full-length documentary on Giannis already going to be out next month? How are there not trailers? Im more optimistic about this than what turned into the Disney movie.

It’s like Marvel where they need a new one every three years.

I really wanted to like the Disney version, but it was just soooo cheesy and cringey... It was more hilarious than anything at those times, as in - "haha, I ain't never watching this ish again" kind of way.

I think the response was great from people who never knew his story.

From people like us who knew every detail of his life it was underwhelming. But people never exposed to basketball or giannis enjoyed it.

Possibly Giannis had the same reaction and vowed to do a corrected story accurate and dignified enough he could be proud of.

As long as they don't kill Uncle Ben again, seems fine.

Real good interview by Katie Heindl (read Basketball Feelings, you cowards) with Giannis right heah.

This part hit me hard:

People get inspired by my journey, and at the end of the day people will not remember my accolades, and things on the court, they will remember how I made them feel, and if I motivated them to do something great in their life.

And that's ballgame, innit?
