As a Heat fan, I'm incredibly proud of the way Giannis handled this. His speech honestly hit home to me. GG. Players like Jimmy Buckets and Giannis make it easy to be a fan of basketball. This was an amazing playoff series.

@tpsam Жыл бұрын

Exactly because the mentality behind that question can easily go around and hit the heat too Was it a failure that the 3 against Boston in game 7 was a miss instead of driving to get a lay up or wait to set the offense? If Jimmy didn't miss that shot against Boston maybe today he wouldn't be hitting these crazy shots of the last 2 games

Giannis traveled on so many players and wasn't called for that BS a single god damn time. If this isn't proof NBA rigs game IDK what IS! I knew going into this game the refs and the NBA WOULD NOT want the Heat to beat the bucks. They gave Giannis 23 free throws. He's their new "golden boy". This man just runs into players and gets every single call his way. I will never be a fan of Giannis. What he does takes 0 skill. Every other superstar > Giannis. PED cheatin choker is what he is. If it wasn’t for Giannis taking out Kyrie, he would be known as an all time choker without him injuring kyrie he'd be nobody. Without the refs bailing him out every play and never calling his travels and without ALL the free throws he gets he'd literally be useless. Giannis is a league manufactured superstar 100%. Giannis ALONE got 23 free throws tonight. Remember that. 23 FREE THROWS.

As soul crushing as this playoff loss was, for him as a human being, his mates, and the fan base, he didn't lose his composure, he didn't pass blame, he, in his own measured temperament, his path to success, steps to overcome to succeed. It's not all sunshine and rainbows. In these raw, gut wrenching moments, he showed everyone, I hope, what it takes to live they're lives in pursuit of greatness, happiness, whatever goal it is in life that they might want to achieve. I think we forget, over time, or lose sight of these things. He is a true leader, an example to all of us, as humans, of how we view life, success, and loving acknowledgement of our fellow humans. I am humbled by this kid, and I hope we never lose him. I know I'll never lose sight of him and what he brought back to me, as a Buck's fan. I just love him.

You and Giannis can call it "steps to overcome" or "not all sunshine and rainbows" or "gut wrenching moments" or "you can't win them all" or however you want to describe it. It's all just another way to describe failures along the way. So although Giannis does have a great attitude about failure, he is refusing to call it what it actually is. The Bucks are a championship caliber team with the best record in the NBA but got beat by the #8 seed in the 1st round. Their season was most definitely a failure.

I've definitely been in Shaq's shoes. Like he said, that's the mentality many of the greats take on so that they never stop improving. Jordan always made it person. Kobe had the Mamba Mentality. It can be a powerful driver, but it's an incredibly difficult way to live. Thinking of losing as a failure is exhausting. When you take on Giannis's mentality, you not only continue to work to improve, but you also are able to have joy after losing, because you know you've learned from it and that it'll be valuable for you moving forward.

@yogeshcyr31 Жыл бұрын

Nah, Jordan would have handled it the same with a reporter, definitely Giannis is upset after losing and he's gonna comeback next year but being called a failure for being injured and missing games is ridiculous. MJ actually took years off to have a break after his 3 peats, now Shaq could call that a failure too, Kobe was much more dedicated, but even he won't call it a failure, it would be a disappointment, I mean Kobe won 5 rings out of 20 years in NBA, you cannot always win.

He just sugar coated the fact that they did fail and went personal on a reporter that didn't went personal on him, the dude asked a fair question strictly within a professional context and Giannis brought up his family? Even he realized that he went too far and had to dial it back. No one achieves their goals every single time, but if you have a goal and fail to achieve it, that's literally the definition of failing. The thing is, failing is part of success, failures are the best stepping stones for future successes, but for that you have to recognize them as such and work on what made you fail, if you don't recognize them as such, you are never improving on them, the Bucks have been suffering from that for years, we all know the main reason why the failed, we all know the main reason why they have failed every season but one since they became contenders, Mike Budenholzer, but since the Bucks as an organization refuse to look at themselves and see why they didn't win, it just keeps happening, literally the only time they won was despite Bud yet they are the only ones who don't see that, and it's cause this kind of mindset.

I had nearly this exact debate with someone less than three months ago, about the difference between failure and disappointment. It's fascinating how for some people these are synonymous. Giannis presented it very similarly to how I was explaining the differences. Still, some individuals will interpret the situation as Shaq did, and others as Kenny and Charles. Some individuals have their minds made up that things are specific ways and only can be those ways.

Giannis Antetokounmpo, what a great man! If you consider how far he has gone it's incredible. Being born to a very poor family, with parents that could have been deported at anytime due to their illegal migration status, himself and his simblings being in citizenship limpo although being born and raised in Greece, until he became 18 years old. He didn't only become an NBA MVP and Champion but he is able to make a point like this, in a time that he is clearly frustrated, in a foreign language, without losing his composure or politeness. I am Greek and he makes me feel extremely proud! He is one of the greatest that we have, a truly great man not only great athlete. A living advertisement of our country, a country that wasn't unfortunately always fair or kind to him.

It has been over 3 years and he has been proven right.

Diplomatic? The dude went personal on a reporter that didn't went personal on him, he just asked a fair question strictly within a professional context and Giannis brought up his family? Even he realized that he went too far and had to dial it back. He just sugarcoated the fact that they did fail and that's the worse you can do, cause failures are the best stepping stones for future successes whenever you recognize a failure as such, that is what allows you to see what made you fail and work on it, in this case the answer is really obvious, as it has been the main problem with the Bucks almost every season since they became contenders, Budenholzer, but since the Bucks reflect the mindset that Giannis showed here, they refuse to recognize Bud as the biggest reason for their failures and keep tripping on the same rock over and over again.
