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.

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.
