Jay Williams says it’s Absurd that people don’t believe Giannis can still win the championship as the Number 1 option: “Can Giannis still be a number 1 on a title team? This is absurd. What do you mean? Do you see what this dude does? Even when he’s on... show more

Cam Johnson on the Giannis and Bam fit: “It’s interesting, you have Bam and Giannis. That’s a heck of a defensive front court. You want to put as much shooting around them as you can…. We’ll see. The positive is it’s they’re very mobile guys that can move around the court. It’s not like you paired Giannis with a non moving big that is paint dominant. I think it’s Bam that becomes the more perimeter threat. I think he’s fine with that. We saw him go for 80.” (Via TheOldManAndTheThree)

Tracy McGrady says you can’t have Giannis as your 1A on a championship team: “I like it but it’s incomplete. As great as Giannis is, he’s been great the last 5 years, he’s still a guy that can’t be my 1A. He’s a guy that through 3 quarters, you can carry our team. I can’t give him the ball in the 4th quarter. They need a closer” (Via Cousins with Vince Carter & Tracy McGrady)

Gilbert Arenas says Wemby is not a top 5 player in the NBA: “You got Luka, you got Giannis, you got Shai, you got Jokic, you know Kevin Durant is still playing? You know Giannis had a bad year it was 31 and 12? Listen 31 and 12 on a bad year that’s Giannis…. Like I don’t know who to put out of the top 5 because you’re putting him in the top 5 off of projection what you think he’s going to be versus you know, the actual output. Defensively he was 1, offensively he’s not top 10 offensively. So, if you’re talking about Giannis defensively he’s top 10 on both ends of the court which is very different.” (Via To The Baha)

Kendrick Perkins says the pressure is on Giannis to win the championship in Miami: "If you a Heat fan and you're screaming championship/contender/ you're wrong... Giannis, all time great. One of the greatest PFs we've ever seen. I still don't believe that he's a number one scoring option that will take your team to the promise land..... The pressure is on Giannis. Pat Riley don't make moves and go get whales for no reason. Shaq delivered a chip. LeBron delivered a chip. In the next 2-3 years damn it, Giannis you on the clock. You got to deliver a championship"

Gilbert Arenas says Bam is the PERFECT second option next to Giannis: “You have a player who actually likes being option 2 or 3. When need be, he can do what he needs to do. I think people sleep on how good Bam actually is because he plays team basketball. He is the perfect number 2 for Giannis. He can shoot, he can play 1 on 1. He can pass. He knows how to play basketball.” (Via Gilbert Arenas)

Shannon Sharpe says this just goes to show you if LeBron James was on a team and he was the number one option, this is what he’d be doing: “Think about it, he gave you 27 and 6 as a third option. Imagine if he’s the first option or even the second option because remember last year as the second option he gave you 24. He gave you 24. He gave you 24.9, 7 or 24, 8 and 7 as the number two option. So just imagine if he’s the number one option, he still could do it.” (Via Nightcap)

Dillon Brooks with high praise for Giannis Antetokounmpo: “There’s nothing you can hate about Giannis. The media always tries to find things to hate on him, or discredit him, you can’t. He’s had a crazy story, good person, freak of nature, and he’s really good at the game and what he does.”

Michael Wilbon is still taking shots at Giannis 😬 “Giannis has been a rumor in April and May. He ain’t even been on the floor in June! He’s been a rumor. I’m sorry but 5 years is too long when you’re 32 years old and to have questions…. I believe in Heat culture, but Giannis was missing flights and two hours late. We heard from people about what Giannis was doing in Milwaukee. Where’s the personal pride? Where is the professionalism? So You need Pat Riley and Erik Spoelstra and them to tap into that for you? I’m convinced Miami will go get the people. But what I’m not convinced about, is Giannis.” (Via

Rich Paul believes Giannis can win a championship in Miami because they have a strong system: “Giannis will win a championship as the biggest name in a system like Miami if they’re able to get the right pieces… The Miami Heat system is the triangle effect 2.0. When you play in the Heat system, don’t you realize all those guys who come out of the Heat system, they’re different out of the Heat system? — if the Heat can somehow construct the right guys around Giannis and Bam, it’s a team game. As long as Giannis is able too make the right reads in real time… Defensively forget about it. They have on of the best defensive lineups right now.” (Via Game Over)

Vince Goodwill believes Miami is the best landing spot for LeBron James: “Miami would book end this LeBron journey. Not just historically where he’s been with that organization with Spoelstra, with Pat Riley, but practically on the floor. You don’t want LeBron to be in this position where he’s doing the heavy lifting. That’s Giannis and Bam. He can still be a perimeter option. He’s become a better spot up shooter. I think that could be the better basketball option.”

Shaq: “You have a player here now, Tyrese Haliburton, when KD is gone, when LeBron is gone, when Steph is gone, do you think he can be the face of this league? I say yes.” Reggie: “I think he’s on a short list, because he has all the intangibles. He’s a family man. He’s a team player. He hits big shots and it’s all about winning with him. He’ll do whatever it takes to win. When I say he’s the captain now, he understands, and this fan base understands, that he involves everyone. And that’s what it takes to win championships in smaller markets.”

“It takes a team to win games. That is the Number 1 mission of this team. It has to be. And no one can forget that. Personally, I’ve never played the game for stats. Even though I know it’s a measurement that other people will judge. But they don’t know anything. It’s about what the team, the individuals on a team, determine a success. Our number one goal is to win. When it takes a team to win and do something special, how you do it really doesn’t matter” 🔥🔥 -I asked Jalen Hurts about the Eagles, maybe not having the best stats in the passing game, but doing all the things like blocking and dirty work, to win

Antoine Walker believes if LeBron paired up with Giannis and Bam, they could be the top team in the East: “Obviously if they get him, they become a top 3 contender in the East, if not the number 1 contender in the East when you think about Giannis and LeBron on the same team… The East is wide open. It’s really up to LeBron and where he feels like he can win a title at.” (Via 104.3 WQAM)

It’s not because Giannis can’t give you 30 points a night.

But he plays for the Heat now, that’s probably going to take me months to get used to…there’s aspirations for him to be a contender again and he’s in a way better position in Miami than he was in Milwaukee that’s for damn sure. It is about keeping my boy healthy in that postseason…that’s really what it’s all about.” (via Kenny For Real YT)
