He’s already the face of the league.


Not saying he's not a great player but he's far from the face of the league. The media want him to be but he's not really stepping up and he just flat out admits that he's not about the publicity or "hollywood". He has said that he doesn't want to be the face of the league. Unless he's lying?
Zion will be the face once LeBron is done.

Houston sucks I agree....but still beats living in Milwaukee :D


I take it you've lived in Milwaukee for a long period of time to make such a judgement? Not sure how else you'd be able to assume that. Unless you're just regurgitating what someone else said. Small market = sucks, huh?

Milwaukee is a great city. Sure, it's not LA or NY, but shockingly, giant cities aren't for everyone. Giannis genuinely loves it here - he's spoken about it numerous times - so your opinion is not only baseless, but completely wrong. **** off.

Eh, it was all tongue in cheek. Every city has it's pros and cons.

That's because the Pelicans kept losing. They only barely made the playoff twice. Giannis is going to close the season with the best record in the league this year. And I don't see the Bucks slowing down anytime soon.

I live in the bay area. I've visted around 35 states. One of my favorite places is minneapolis. And I went in the winter time.

I would love it if Giannes played his whole career there. I love his story.

That is true. My post wasn't directed you, but I hear ya.

Either way, saying Giannis will leave because "Milwaukee sucks" just isn't a fair argument. And wrong on so many levels.

I will admit, winters in the midwest DO suck. Hard. So, the weather argument does at least have some validity.

Shut it you pedo. He was probably asked about why he declined space jam 2 and he gave his reasoning. Since he's a top 3 player and likable the wiretap is going to report it.

Yea Giannis needs to work on his jump shot and fundamentals before he ever tries doing anything else. If this dude could shoot, it would be game over for the league.

It's time for some anti-Lebron figures to arise. Lebron probably the most hated superstar in NBA history.

I have no problem with that at all. He is just pointing it out because people ask him or expect him to be the face of league and be all hollywood. Trash talking just shows his competitive nature, nothing wrong with that. Many players like for example Joel Embiid talk lots of trash, it just adds to their charisma.
