Saw this when it dropped as I was starving for content on the kid. Loved his cheesy, but Giannis-esque answer. Go be the best, just get good/strong enough to play in meaningful minutes first!

If this hits how it could, we have a much clearer path to another Giannis window. But we would still need another stud in the mix.

The Sixers got really lucky landing PG, but they also had uncertainty that forced them to throw up a prayer in FA. We should have the benefit of knowing who will be here and who wont much further out when that time comes, and Giannis can use that time to recruit. I just think its going to have to be FA if we are talking about a two way wing stud.

This one is really good, hes pretty forth coming on his time in Australia.

My favorite quote is him talking about the struggle he faced with limited minutes and he says "I woudl challenge myself like, lets score the most points i can in these 2 minutes"

IMO what they got lucky with is taking a young shifty guard in the early 20s that ended up being an allstar

For sure, im just saying that if our shifty guard develops, we shouldnt have to rely on a team like the clippers being weird with an all star. Hopefully, those conversations between Giannis and some other top 15 player are already happening

So, uh, Paul George was an all-star this year, and he’s only 2 months older than Dame.

What are we doing here?

He’ll be in his age 37 season in the last year of his deal. Sometimes, people frame contracts that way.

It has felt like he’s been around forever.

Why is he being compared to Bronny?

And he's better than Bronny... Right?

Probably because laker fans are getting dumped on and they’re trying to deflect it to another player who put up terrible stats before getting drafted.

Yes, AJ is better than Bronny.
