“I’m a Milwaukee Buck, but most importantly I’m a winner… If there is a better situation for me to win the Larry O’Brien I have to take that better situation.”
Was that pre-Dame? I think he has been smart in playing the media game to a respectable degree, not going too hard but in the end he repaid all the investment by ownership by committing, and winning. He developed every single year of his life, showed up better and stronger every season, and ultimately brought home a Larry OB.
Yeah, losing in the first round is “steps to success”? MJ didn’t win a ring every year? Come on now, that’s loser talk. Own up to the fact that you failed to meet expectations and that you have to work harder to get back to where you’re supposed to be.
Yes absolutely, if KD said that after choking in 2021 I would’ve been pissed off. If you’re supposed to win a ring and you fail, you should acknowledge that you failed and you should be pissed off. The response Giannis gave makes it seem like he’s comfortable with losing or just doesn’t care that much. There’s a time and place for finding the silver lining in losing, the press conference right after you lost isn’t the time or the place.
I love when fans who’ve never done anything of note in their entire lives characterize guys playing in the most elite league in the world as using “loser talk.”
It’s such a profound, head-exploding lack of perspective.
Not a presser but I’m sure the minimum wage employee who was just trying to do his job and take down the cameras didn’t appreciate Giannis throwing his ladder down
Yup. He’s a good dude and I always love hearing him talk and respect the hell out of him until he’s throwing elbows in the paint and driving me nuts against the Celtics.
That’s a pretty fuckin good answer

Hmm…
Lol they don’t want this receipt.

can we honestly say we have ever heard Giannis with an L in any presser? Dude is just a kind and intelligent human and it shows again and again.
FTB, but I’ll definitely be sad when Giannis finally hangs ‘em up.
His failure one was very polarizing.
There’s a language barrier, he misquoted Kobe
He meant to say it WAS a failure but failure isn’t always bad
Even though it was polarizing, it was clear even from that presser that he’s a good dude and wants to protect the people around him.
Polarizing only to people who see our world in black and white

So like every Nets year, own up to the failure.

I don’t understand how someone listens to that and goes, “yeah, this guy’s talking bullshit”
its pretty simple
if you agree with his take you’re saying its impossible to fail at anything
Not a presser but I’m sure the minimum wage employee who was just trying to do his job and take down the cameras didn’t appreciate Giannis throwing his ladder down

Great story about him and Milwaukee
Really I just want more offensive fouls called on him lol.
