I really love this man because he comes across as humble, authentic, open-minded and approachable. Even as a non-native speaker he gets his point across almost every time. So pumped to see Kristaps on the floor in a Celtic's uniform. I will send some prayers to god that he stays healthy over the course of the season. Maintaining his health throughout the season will be crucial for the C's.

Very authentic dude. I really hope The Unicorn can stay healthy. I think he has been forgotten about a little since the hype when he entered the league, and has a chip on his shoulder. He is a game changer.

If he’s healthy he is super dangerous. If I am Celtics he is playing no more than 65 games regardless if he is hurt the Celtics need him for the playoffs.

@lurkintomgaming397 9 ай бұрын

Total game changer. Putting a player like this on a relevant contending top 3 team is some scary stuff. He’s like the 3rd or 4th best player here and he’s absolutely incredible: seriously I could watch this guy hoop all day long. Really damn good player and I love his attitude. He’s confident and knows what he can do. Just stay healthy kristaps his 3/D/size is unmatched in the NBA and apparently NBA history. Stay healthy

Giannis is overall better than him but the advantage KP has over him is that he can destroy him on shooting. That will pull Giannis out to the 3pt line and with Dame replacing Jrue, I see the Bucks defense struggling against us in ways they didn’t in the past.

Too bad Mazzulla has no clue how to scheme a defense. His whole game plan is “shoot more 3’s” and it’s going to kill them if he doesn’t improve at coaching
