Basically his family, a guy Nike Basketball, and an artist related with the antetokoumbros TV channel on YouTube... nobody else. Either Bucks trade him, or Bucks trade everyone except him.

My concern exactly.

He didn't just unfollow Bucks people. He unfollowed almost everyone.

I hope this is just him not wanting to see all the trash opinions going around after the loss to the heat.

Giannis was at Cafe Benelux last night and got into a shouting match with “fans” who wouldn’t take no for an answer regarding taking a picture. Kept saying “he doesn’t owe anyone anything” over and over

I saw him at a restaurant in Tosa the day after they lost to Toronto last year in the playoffs and he was the same way.

That being said he’s going have to start maneuvering around like other superstar athletes and entertainers. He’s not the Giannis of five years ago and should realize if he goes anywhere people will come up to him or run after him. Get some security or something.

Absolutely. I’m not reading into it too much. He’s a passionate guy

We need more like this from Giannis to the owners , the coaches and his teammates ...
He should show zero tolerance to lazyness around him and incompetence... thats not loyal to himself staying silent or acting nice and appropriate when his goal is to win a Championship.

He should be more pissed with the Bucks personnel, not the fans and force ****ing changes

All this Giannis news is troubling. Shouting matches with fans? What is going on!?

Knock it off. He does this every year! Stop fanning the flames. It's a complete non story!

He has a private IG where he follows Khash and his family according to Bucks reddit.

Considering you always push the need to leave Milwaukee agenda, going back. I can presume to find you posting like this is evidence in this thread or inferring it could be.

However, shootingthej is correct. This is ritual for Giannis, cutting out most social media. He doesn't play for the fame as much as passion. His family is what matters to him.

Regarding yelling at who Wonka deemed "fans" is another thing. If they're his fans,you gotta know the guy is low from losing to the Heat how they did. Don't bother that man. He needs space. Unless he's welcoming you or you know it's going to make sense, don't be pestering someone.

Harassing people for autographs is bizarre. If they say yes, great. They don't want to, move on.

Not to mention during Covid. I wouldn’t want random people near me either right now

I get mad at my mom when she wants a random photo when I'm pissed. I couldn't imagine dealing with drunk 20 year olds and beneluex during a pandemic after a big loss

His body is just different.The shot mechanics aren’t the same, because his bones aren’t the same.

That said, he’d be a dominant center, but does he want to do that?

But every basketball player faces this as they grow up. While Giannis' experience might have been accelerated, and in the NBA portion of his career, it doesn't fully explain this unnecessarily mechanized form. Work in his old form would've likely taken time to recalibrate such that his jumpshots didn't end up over the backboard, but it had upside to become reliable. Thinking Kidd and crew wanted immediate marginal improvements at the expense of a long term ceiling. F them forever.
