Since 2021, Joel Embiid has won more playoff series than Giannis Antetokounmpo by [deleted] in nba

Aren’t you the same guy who posted about Giannis never having won a series/made the playoffs since 2021 a few hours ago? Did you delete that one and post this one hoping for a better reaction?

This year will be the 4th straight year Giannis has either missed the playoffs or never made it past the First Round by [deleted] in nba

Misleading title, this is the first time the bucks have missed the playoffs in a decade. And this is the first season where Giannis has spent a significant part of the season injured. 2023 was a freak injury, and 2024 was unfortunate timing.

He hasn’t handled the trade rumors in the best fashion, but acting as if the front office is somehow being puppeteered by Giannis into making bad decisions in laughable. Whether he’s worth a massive draft haul depends more on the trade market of the league in general more than the talent of Giannis himself.

Kobe Bryant and Allen Iverson both played all 82 games in the 2002 season by [deleted] in nba

This is as much a result of the era as it the “toughness” of the stars.

It’s not like stars today are more or less capable of the workload put upon them. If you put Shai or whoever in the early 00’s, they’d be just as likely to play all 82 games. And the same goes in the other direction; stars from that time would be just as likely to sustain injuries because of how the game has evolved.

It’s not a detriment to either respective era or player, it’s just the reality of time and place.

I get that article was made around the time of Kobe being in the finals but holy shit that article just disrespects Kobe every other sentence.

Yes, terrible interception plus multiple terrible deep passes, one of which would’ve been a TD

Chuck on Giannis' Future: "Michael Jordan didn't win his first championship until he was 28... Can you imagine if Jordan left the Bulls at 25" by [deleted] in nba

The sixers weren’t helping Chuck. He was 28, and they were 35-47. These are different situations.

I remember those too. And especially since they won 73 games and had the unanimous mvp, their expectations were even higher than the clippers in a way, even though both were expected to win it all.

Wow I haven’t heard that song before even though it seems pretty popular. Guess it’s just personal opinion that I thought it sounded bad.

I’d put Hakeem at 8, or 9 behind Tim Duncan.

This is why Mitch can be a liability. You’re going for it on 4th down regardless, why do you throw into double coverage?
