There is a story following this photo.
Dimitris Papanikolaou called both of them. He would announce publicly that he has a form of Autism with Asberger notes and that he starts an initiative for an education program for such children. He wanted them for ambassadors. Both gladly accepted and that is the reason of the meeting (Papanikolaou was also there). Rumor is Galis cried when he heard his condition.

Good for the family, total stunt (as usual) by the government.

**** misaligned timelines man... If you could get those two at their peak on the same team we got a chance against literally any team in the world.

I'd rather he focus more on the midrange than threes. The kid is an incredibly hard worker, I think it's more about being confident in letting the shot go. We shall see once the season starts next month (can't believe it's already here).

Ball is hidden but it seems like he's not killing his momentum and shooting a much easier shot with his legs behind it.

I guess I'll still cling to the hope that guys like Lebron, Rajon Rondo, and Jason Kidd didn't really become solid shooters until their late-20's, so therefore the potential is still there for Giannis. But my gut says the whole "it's over for the league when he gets a 3PT shot" dream was always just that. Keep in mind that Tim "Mr. Fundamental" Duncan himself was a much worse FT shooter (69.8% career) and an incredible mediocre mid-range shooter (40-44%). Think he still needs to take a good amount of those wide open shots when given, but the older he gets, the more he needs to play like Timmy.

Agreed. He discovered a newfound dominance these past playoffs simply by playing from the FT line and in. His post game is pretty basic but he’s trusting his baby hook, Nowitzki fade and turnaround more often. A two dribble pull-up from the midrange would just make him that much more devastating, I could care less about threes from him.

The annual Giannis greek preseason interview where he talks about everything that happened in the last year just came out. When the whole video is out with english subtitles someone will have to post it here because from the bits I've seen so far its a pure goldmine.

He was in terrible pain in the first two games against the Suns. He said that he is still in pain and that only a couple of days ago he had his first proper practice after the finals but he will be fine.

Yeah but he said "I will be ok don't worry about it" in the end. I don't think we will see the normal Giannis until the all star break imo. It's clear he won't push himself like he did in the past until he is fully recovered.

Giannis playing off the court mind games, now. He is ascending.

Hell of a guy. That's kind of concerning that he's still in pain.

You need to be a pro in geoguessr to track Giannis this Summer.
One day he is in Milwaukee the next in Greece under Acropolis and then back to Milwaukee, then to Orlando in the disneyworld then back to a greek Island and on to the next destination.

Apparently he was in France tonight to watch his brother Alex play.

Edit: The girl with the fine ass who tries so hard to get his attention for a selfie is so funny. :lol:
