Giannis gets suspended for 1 game for head butt

[Harcore Fenton Mun]

Most would have got three.

[Packbuckman]

Dam some people on here
He hardly hit him people a one game suspension is more than enough! I personally didn’t think it warranted a suspension no matter if it was Giannis or any other player that did that. People calling for playoff games being suspended for that’s crazy the NBA ain’t doing that especially for that flopping ****.

[skones]

I'm amused by the lengths people are going to create some sort of suspension standard here that the league is going soft on. Yet, when prompted for examples of the undercut baseline, there is nothing but, "MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HIM!"

[SOUL]

That'll teach Giannis, that one game that the Bucks don't care about and will allow Giannis to rest for the playoffs will show him the NBA means business!

You're lucky Lowry didn't get suspended for his BS to be fair...

[skones]

That's BS. So basically no punishment at all for the Bucks.

When your guy, Ibaka, grabbed a guy by the throat and threw a punch, this was your reaction. Bias at play here methinks.

Chriss is a punk.

[Lalouie]

if it was an important game it wouldn't have happened

[phanman]

I really hope that Bud plays the rest of starters and core guys to make that Memphis game competitve. It'll be such a slap to the face to the other three teams vying for a play-in spot.

How can you not like Giannis?

Lol at u, he is one of the most likable players ever

Cheap shots, head butting players, picking fights with scrubs, recklessly throwing elbows and being babied by the refs to the point where he does whatever he wants on the court and gets away with it.

Lmao yeah....totally likable...

[MrPerfect1]

Not surprising, especially since the headbutt was hardly a headbutt.

But let's not pretend for one minute that if he were a role player he'd get the same treatment

Except it would be the same. Headbutts are a 1 game suspension Historically

Let me guess u hated shaq also, not their fault they are dominant

If you came up with that and didn't steal it:

[nedleeds]

So the “Cheap Freak” gets to sit out a game he was going to sit out anyway?

The NBA is helping make this dude even more unlikeable...

How can you not like Giannis?

Me personally it's the traveling and airballs. For a guy to be this good but still not be that good at actual basketball skills is irritating, kind of like how Shaq was vs. Dream.

Shaq was about 100 pounds heavier than Giannis and got hacked beyond belief to the point where teams would stock their bench with bigs who’s main job would be to foul him hard. You can’t touch Giannis, at all.

Likewise, Shaq was easily the hardest player to ever ref. Giannis clumsily barrels his way into players and gets the benefit of the call almost every single time.

Did you not watch the Celtics/Bucks game where the refs literally bent over backwards to keep him from fouling out? Was some of the most egregious reffing I’ve seen.

Unless there is a big shift in the data, Giannis should set a new single-season PER record.

He's currently at 31.91 according to BBREF. Wilt presently holds the record with a 31.82 PER season in 1962-63.

Looks like I’ve triggered the Bucks fan...

Nice gif bud, is this where your guy learned his cheap shot tactics from?

[CelticSooner]

Talk about a slap on the wrist.

Headbutting another player in the face or head is no different than a punch, which normally gets 2 or 3 games. Any other player at any other point in tne season would have gotten 2 or 3 games. You can't strike other players deliberately in the head and get away with it. Syaing he should have got nothing is outright ridiculous.

[jason bourne]

I thought he would get around three games and a huge fine. This is more reason to hate him.

[Profound23]

*Literally Bucks fans all day (citing multiple incidents): "Whenever there was a similar headbutt the player was only suspended for one game."


*Raptors, Celtics, and other Buck haters after the one-game suspension is handed down: "What kind of favoritism is this?"
