    Oh yes, because finals MVP is what defines who the best player on a team, just like the Igoudala lead Warriors Dynasty. Calm down, no need to be that aggressively stupid.

    Thanasis +400 to the Rockets is pretty funny…Rockets could make him some random assistant coach or “developmental coach” where he gets rebounds for the shooters after practice, but please don’t have Giannis’s personal booger picker and blunt roller on the active roster

    It doesn't, I've never seen the like of mental gymnastics done to support a player who completely crapped the bed during the playoffs in 6 out of 7 games averaging 13-5-3 while consistently wanting to trade a guy who carried the team the entire series and averaged 21-12-5 even if they have to gut the entire team as long as it's not their favorite player.

    It's the true definition of player only fans.

    Nothing wrong at all with players wanting to go back home after their careers.

    I've been to Greece. Don't blame him at all, and for me, it's not even home.

    EDIT: And I've mentioned more than once, when Giannis becomes available (and he will), Stone will be the first to call.

    I don't really care that much but the flight time from NY to Athens is 10.5 hours, pretty much the same as from Chicago

    The world is round, Giannis?

    I think from LA you tack on a few extra hours but, I mean seems like no big deal to me. Not like you're commuting it every week

    preferring to play for an East team because it’s closer to Greece sounds so fake

    that’s 1 of the dumbest reasons I’ve ever heard for team preference

    The world takes on different dimensions when you're worth a third of a billion dollars or whatever

    Suddenly an hour or two feels like a huge inconvenience (unless you're one of those lunatics who is obsessed with running up your net worth "high score")

    I don’t think it’s necessarily fake. I know a bunch of folks on the east coast and Florida from overseas who prefer to live on that side because it’s closer to their home country.

    So it may be an excuse for Giannis but it wouldn’t shock me if he does really feel like that.

    I’m not buying it

    he wants to go somewhere he can compete for championships, but would prefer that team to be on the East coast because it’s closer to Greece…and at the same time, he also doesn’t want to play with a ball dominant lead guard

    Why were we hearing about the Knicks so much then? Jalen Brunson takes 20 shots a game, has 31% usage, and is 1st in time of possession in the NBA ahead of even Luka and Cade.

    So, Sengun, FVV, Tari, and a FRP for Giannis and KPJ.

    He isn’t exactly well educated or terribly bright. He also tends to contradict himself quite a bit. Regardless, he is a first ballot hall of Famer and will help the Knicks until Thibs breaks him down.

    MLB holds true to the Coast formula. Japan to Cali is a popular trip.
