We need Khris Middleton back desperately

 

Like holiday is such a lazy passer

knew we’d play like shit against Chicago - this bucks team is aimless without Khris

 

Bulls baby

 

Their first regular season win in Milwaukee since 2017

They wanted it more tonight they played harder than the Bucks tonight as they decided to sleep walk before the holiday

 

Pistons beat Denver and Utah back to back on the road without Cade/Stewart/Bey


alright

 

former jazz player revenge game. definitely did not expect that.

 

props

 

Damn, I would have thought it was sooner in Milwaukee just based on how often they play each other. Last year I witnessed their first win in Denver in like 16 years lol

 

I was at the Jazz game and they’re 1-4 all time when I attend, this explains the Pistons win

 

Did y’all know about this?

im out, have a good one to the Beam Fans

 

Oh no


Anyways

 

Man pushed a ladder and thinks he’s in his Ron Artest arc

 

Nobody more addicted to manufactured adversity than nba players

 

I love Giannis but come on


He may be the easiest superstar to like in the history of the league.


Jordan was an ass
Bird was an ass
Kobe was a lot of things rip
LeBron became a head ass out of nowhere
KD took the hardest road
Wilt slept with all of us allegedly
Bill Russell was cool
Duncan was fine
KG is literally a psycho
Shaq is also a head ass
Curry likes feet but he’s fine too

Giannis:

 

I dunno Twitter was buzzing with giannis hate after the ladder haha

 

Wonder how many Philly fans are gonna dress up like ladders the next time the Bucks are in town

 

Lol

 

Giannis is the most likeable superstar by far when it comes to NBA fans, but it’s definitely always seemed like he gets much less respect from other players than past or current superstars anywhere near his level

 

Not sure if this would have anything to do with it, and maybe I’m remembering this info wrong, but I think Giannis once said that he doesn’t like how buddy-buddy the league is and doesn’t have group text threads with players and other stuff like that because to him they are the enemy/opponent and if that’s true I could see that rubbing people the wrong way since so many athletes (across most sports, not just basketball) are closer and friends and such since they either know each other from college or high school tournaments and all that stuff. Giannis has an “old school” mentality to competition.

 

He also didn’t grow up in all the elite youth USA programs that a lot of the league did, no?

I mean, a lot of the league have been friends since middle school.

 

Was thinking that as well, but I feel like there’s a lot of players in the league that aren’t American and didn’t play in programs but still friendly and get respect (Doncic immediately comes to mind as an example)
