Giannis: "I’m tired of the disrespect. I’m coming."

That's what she said.

Makes boneheaded plays in crunch time and bricks free throws and is Partially responsible for his coach getting fired.

Maybe he would garner more respect if his game wasn’t a cacophony of diminishing results last season…

I've never put Giannus into an NBA2k team and I never will :nonono:

He needs to fix his FT's. He is the only top 5 player that becomes a potential liability in clutch time.

I'm done waiting on a jumper. Just some better post up play and free throws is all this guy needs. And it's not a stretch to ask such of a PF

Getting disrespected is just part of the package of being a NBA star these days

This response following the "season wasn't a failure" nonsense is weak, especially after your coach was fired. Giannis has no idea who will call plays in the Fall, but he's "coming."

Get out of here, Giannis.

Shut up, and let your game talk moving forward.

This is the most MJ like tweet there could be. If MJ had twitter in his day, we'd see this same stuff all the time.

And he'd be ridiculed for it.

I dunno...Jordan made being petty into who he is. Giannis was the guy who when told he couldn't win the most improved player award again got upset as if that were an insult...

I like it. But he's gotta show that next year. Shot 45% on FTs in the playoff...no excuses to not shoot 70%+

It's not disrespect. Clearly the org blamed the coach and not giannis, as you see with the firing.

Players sometimes need false motivations to improve their game.

Is there something specific he's referring to?

He's clearly talking about his top similarity scores being Adrian Dantley and Shawn Marion.

He hasn't been remotely disrespected enough for having arguably one of the biggest playoff chokes in history.

It's kind of like Dirk. As great as these guys are - and we know they can get the job done - you just will never be able to wash the stain of 2007 and 2023 off of them.

Neither Giannis or AD made an All-defense team.
