From DPOY to didn’t even make the 2nd team. Giannis best version is when he is a defensive monster. It’s going to be fun.

He probably looked around on Twitter or something

He’s probably the most likeable superstar. He’s not coming. He’s already here… but I don’t see him getting better, and his team is going downhill fast. He should have planned to move to a bigger market sooner.

So let me get this straight. Guy gets snubbed from an all defensive team so he makes a comment to motivate and hold himself accountable. I fail to see what’s wrong here, internet just finds the weirdest reasons to hate.

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.


But he'd also get the last laugh as MJ had the wins to back up anything he said.

But that's MJ and Giannis is a couple tiers below MJ's level.

Giannis' biggest problem is in the half-court. He's got no midrange game and his FT shooting is too streaky. He makes up for that in a lot of other ways, but those limitations make him slightly easier to guard than other players.

Shooting is a difficult thing to improve upon when you're this late in your career.

Does that mean he'll improve his FT shooting, raise his 3pt %, and develop a reliable post move and counter like a fadeaway and jump hook, or does that mean he'll just whistle hunt with his bulldoze drives a little harder than usual next November?

He didn't make any of the all defense teams., and as a former DPOY he takes a lot of pride in his defense. If I had the best defensive rating in the league and didn't make all defense I'd be pissed as well, and rightfully so.

These kinds of post sort of imply you were taking it easy or not really as motivated before.

Most of the people don't understand the context is directly related to all defensive teams so they are only thinking offense... I hazard a guess most fans only see offense when they watch the game
