Look how dirty that ball is? Rocking the low tops too!


Back then they only had one ball and it was the responsibility of the home team to supply it. Players had to run uphill toward their basket BOTH WAYS in the freezing cold with those short shorts...Kids today and their baggy shorts that let your balls breath and their fancy new leather basketballs have no idea how good they have it.

Right? Seems like it's been forever since a player got stabbed mid game. Soft ass era.

I found this interesting via macro fantasy statisticals ..

Nice week Giannis. Nice two weeks. Nice month.

"Actual Rankings" are columns 2-5; season/30 days/14 days/past week (1st column is preseason rank, 4 columns on the right are average rankings with the same time period intervals as 2-5).

Wow. I mean really.

I don't play fantasy anymore but am guessing next season he will be almost an auto top ten selection in most drafts if this keeps up the last 17 games.

Top 3 and he might go 1st in some leagues

I did think Mcollum was a lock and probably still is but if gains finished and his numbers are around 18/8/5 he's going to be right up there and there is some serious hype around him right now.

I can't believe we have Giannis. We have waited forever for this caliber of player. You guys, we have like a decade of awesome basketball ahead of us. After two decades of **** more or less (outside of the short big three period). Unbelievable. None of the big three were even close to Giannis' level at age 21 nor did they have close to his potential.

It really does seem like the long time of suffering as a Bucks fan is over

Yeah, while they aren't there yet, this Big 3 **** all over Karl's version. Much more overall versatility with pretty much equal offense.

This offseason is critical. It's about fit. Hopefully the young guys have made that clear.

If he puts in as much work in his jumpshot this summer as he's been saying he's going to, we might have an MVP caliber player next year. Extremely unfair expectations but I honestly can't set them any lower with the **** he's doing right now.

This man is incredible. Honestly, right now it feels like Giannis is the best player in the East. Is he the next Magic Johnson, the next Oscar? As a Knicks fan, I'm so jealous right now. You guys were the worst team just a few years ago and now your future looks bright. Sigh lol

The only thing that can make this better is a Dcebucks1 visit on this thread again.
I think he hasn't been seen since the first or second game after the ASB.
I don't really know why...
The last thing I remember is that he said something about Josh Smith and then that he changed his Bucks icon to a GSW one and left without even saying goodbye...
