Hold himself accountable for what?

It's not a failure that he didn't make an all defensive team, is it?

Stuff like this is just cringe. So was Giannis just not bothered the last 2 years or what?

If his response is to spend the summer at the FT line, then good on him

The better tweet would have been to congratulate his two teammates that made first team all-defense. It's pretty rare for an MVP level player to have two first team all-defense players playing alongside him. I have always been a Giannis fan and respect him for winning it with the team that drafted him but I'm a bit less of a fan after this.

If Embiid tweeted that, I would be trashing him. Wish it was more of a "I need to get back in the lab and do something different next year". Not the entitlement.

Should you feel fortunate to have two all defense teammates who helped you to a #1 seed, while you being the face of the organization? Isn't that a blessing first?

Be grateful of what you have because you will miss it when they are gone.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.

He will never be a great shooter, just doesn't have that soft touch.

Giannis already knows what it’ll take to be considered an ATG. Multiple titles, a better shot, and reliable free throws.

Personally, I wouldn’t doubt him. He’s about as focused as a player can get.

He's taking his talent to the Warriors after they lose! He's coming to GS.

But seriously maybe he should learn to make his free throws and improve his long range shot, something he's never done.

Is he? He posted on Twitter two days ago that he was at the zoo with his kids. You would think he would be in the gym

Wait, does he realize the first round is over and he lost?

It is rather disrespectful that he wasn't on the defense teams. Those results are a joke. He should focus more on his free throws and three point shooting than worry about it though.

Disrespect? Umm does he need to be reminded that he's considered to be one of the best players in the world?
