Henry was awesome. Probably the only Arsenal player with special charisma on and off the field.

First 35 pages or so feel very repetitive. Hopefully it opens up a bit.

I enjoyed the book but unfortunately everything pre-draft was pretty much the same stuff if you listened to the Woj Pod special episodes on Giannis. It also seemed like the interesting anecdotes dropped off the closer you got to the present as I don't recall much that came from anyone currently with the team besides Oppenheimer. The short mentions of George Karl were entirely too kind to him as well.

She mentioned in a podcast appearance that the current regime made an organizational decision to not participate.

If Kidd did that to Larry.. I wonder what he did to Jabari?

The good news is this is the last year Larry is on the books. He's finally gone after this season 21-22.

Thumbs up all around for that.

Giannis hit that nice short soft jumper during clutch time in game 6. Those are truly beautiful shots.


If the all star game taught us anything... he's ready.

He was pure garbage, poison. They became a championship team but he undoubtedly held them back before Bud got here. That sh-- is whack.

Giannis is already the greatest in what he does at 63-64% last 3 years from 2p area, if tim could do what Giannis does he would so it aswell because its more effective.

Got my Giannis book yesterday. What an amazing, inspirational journey. Reading about Giannis and Thanasis relationship now. Glad he’s resigned.
