Prime Giannis is better than prime Lebron.

Give him Kyrie or Bosh and he’d have multiple rings.

Giannis’ prime is better than Shaq’s prime and will last longer.

The scoring output of GA at that FG% is insane and has never been done. The defense and rebounding has always been closer to the best in the league than the mean.

Best ball handling big of all time. Best transition player of all time. Elite effort and elite teammate.

What am I missing?

I put a few bucks on Giannis MVP before the season at 12-1. He's 8-1 now. The media badly wants Wemba or Luka though. SGA still the favorite, I don't see it.

Antetokounmpo yelled "This is my city" as he made his way to the bench after a Knicks' timeout in the third quarter.

Antetokounmpo was playing against the Knicks for the first time since a report in October indicated he had some level of interest in playing for New York if he were to be traded by the Bucks.

“Who said that?” said Antetokounmpo when asked about the report. “I don’t read that. I don’t remember that. Right now. I’m here representing my team. And that’s it. We beat the Knicks. That’s all. Doesn’t really matter. What matters is we have a game in two days against Golden State. Try to stay locked in and get two in a row. But I didn’t read that article. I try to stay away from all that rumors — what do you call it? Speculation, trades and all this. It doesn’t concern me one bit. I try to involve myself (in my play) and I try to win games.”

Online I saw someone complete the quote with, "this is my city, I'm not **** leaving"

I have no verification of the second line but since it was going around I was wondering if anyone dived deeper.

[MickeyDavis]

He did say the second part

He did say the second part

Definitively?

Where our lip readers at:

I meant to say he didn't say it. I've seen nothing other than the first line

I had read somewhere that the second part was inferred by some based on lip reading….
