Giannis is the most DISRESPECTED superstar of all time 

Post#1 » by vinnymate » Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:08 am

Saw this in my recommended feed. The fact that this is even a comparison is a joke.



Now i'll probably add Jokic is also super disrespected, but look at the accolades of Giannis vs Ja.

Giannis accolodes
NBA champion (2021)
NBA Finals MVP (2021)
2× NBA Most Valuable Player (2019, 2020)
5× NBA All-Star (2017–2021)
NBA All-Star Game MVP (2021)
3× All-NBA First Team (2019–2021)
2× All-NBA Second Team (2017, 2018)
NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2020)
3× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2019–2021)
NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2017)
NBA Most Improved Player (2017)

NBA 75th Anniversary Team

Ja
NBA Rookie of the Year (2020)

Now I love Ja, his up and coming for sure and probably a top 10 players this year.

But how is this even a debate. Giannis is just starting his prime, and Ja hasn't even won a single playoff game.

What other superstar (apart from Jokic) can you remember getting disrespected like this?

Did you just reference a parody joke show to make your point? These people are jokes who don't mean anything!

They wanted a reaction out of you and they got it.

I remember last year when Nick Wrong tried to argue Jokic doesn't deserve MVP because he isn't all time great player.

Every time I see the word "the most XXX of all time" in the title I cringe.

It just smells as you are not here to make a point, but rather rile up some reactions. It's hard to take this type of posts seriously.

Then I look at the post, freaking SAS.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.

I mean say what you will but the media influences the casual fan.

Also its quite common for fans to get pissed when their team get no media coverage from the some joke shows.

So it means something for a lot of people.

Dirk was the most disrespected superstar of all time. He still is.

SAS’s whole career is based on being provocative. You can’t take him serious when he says stuff like this and most fans don’t.

The man is on TV mostly because he is funny, watching him rip into the other host because the Cowboys lost recently was quite amusing.

He also had a top 5 favorite Cowboy fan images.



I might take a bit more glee out of the situation though because I remember the 90s when the Cowboys 9ers feud was blowing up huge. I can only imagine how more heated it would have been if the internet was more commonly used back then.

Most of these guys have little to no knowledge of the sport but few are as funny as Stephen A. I also think ESPN pushes for these hot takes, because that is what gets clicks, that and speculation of where random star should play. Random star player has a rough 5 games in a row or something, here come the hot takes.
