the show pales in comparison to inside the nba though. Just from an entertainment perspective imo, nobody is funny on the abc show.

Why are you assuming they are rushing him?


Rushing would've been bringing him back for game 6 last series

Not really - ESPN is trash. Malika is very attractive though so I hope she stays!

No way near the same thing.

Same thing as what? Playing basketball?

Not the point obviously.

I hate Nike for this jersey thing. It really would’ve been nice to have a team wear their white home jerseys and the away team wear their normal ones.

But maybe I’m too old fashioned.

Just because they rushed him back a little after instead of before it doesn't mean it's not rushed.

Giannis literally looks gimpy during warmups right now…. This is not a good decision by Bucks brass.

there are 2 questions about giannis

1- is he a risk of damaging his long term health/athletism by playing if the answer is no then the next question becomes easier

2-is he gonna be a positive on the court (even if diminished he probably would)

if giannis long term health is not at risk then playing him is a no brainer

whether he plays at 70% of how level or 100% is not so relevant to the decision cause he helps the bucks either way

They're still showing KG yelling "Anything's possible" as if it was some iconic line.

Yea, anything's possible... when you join two other all-stars on a team.

It was pretty stupid to take safety precautions against a disease that has killed four million people. I mean, heaven forbid, someone has to look at a piece of plastic!

This isn't the time nor the place.

Keep the discussion about basketball.

Watching the UK coverage is pain inducing. If I have to hear another sentence about "JAR-NIS" being available, the television is going out of the window.

"Another One Bites the Dust" is the perfect theme song for these playoffs.

Kind of bizarre given how much help his contemporaries had. Duncan and Shaq are all-time greats but look at their sidekicks. Robinson and Kobe are top 20-25 players in league history, then you have guys like Penny, Manu, etc. KG had Cassell until he injured himself showboating in 04 and had two top 50 players in Pierce and Allen at the tail-end of his prime. He earned that title.
Now that's the difference between first and last place.
