There are really no comps for Giannis physically, and it wouldn't surprise me at all to see him really productive into his middle 30s. I have no doubt his work ethic will compensate for any physical regression. He might even be better playing a more finesse style from the high/low post.

I do think it's safe to say that few if any 10 year NBA careers have taken a physical pounding like Giannis has. At some point his body has to start breaking down even if he avoids major injury. Of course, that's assuming he's human.

4 am. I'm not getting up for it, it's on some local pay channel anyway.
But it will be good game, 18,000 tickets sold out in a day.

For Serbia it's an important game, if they lose there's a very good chance that they will not qualify for the World Cup.

One of the more anticipated games of the summer and it's behind a paywall. Yay.

There is a free trial for this channel this week.
You need a Greek mobile no for them to send the password. Probably also vpn ip mask to show you are in Greece.

I just signed up for every WC qualifier and Eurobasket game package for $30 - no geo restrictions either (I'm currently in Qatar and paid with a UAE credit card).

Just checked in on the live game (Israel vs Finland) and it's a high quality feed.

All set!

no need for an actual phone use a random number in the +3069xxxxxxxx format. Username/psw are included in the instruction email anyways. No credit card is required, so there's no danger of forgetting to cancel and getting charged

Problem is, with that free trial the stream wont load with a foreign VPN.

How do we know that Bud's going to let him go south on I-94 just yet? He's been watching all of their games. AntetokounmBucks (Alex in OshKosh) seems like a possibility going into 22-23 IMO.

Man, I hope Gianni really learns how to develop his body and understand the game.
