NBA take: Giannis is a super likable dude and a generational talent, but he gets such a pass from the media. "Milwaukee really needs to get something together for Giannis" -- meanwhile with any other superstar (especially LeBron) they'd be asking why he chokes in the playoffs.

Until he gets a serviceable jump shot, teams are going to continue to knock them out of the over a 7 game stretch. He has a gigantic flaw, and it's easy to scheme for in a playoff setting.

We're 8 gd months into this f'ing thing, and there's not a single reliable leader in sight. You've got one side that's dominated by denial-pushing idiots who refuse to acknowledge there's a major public health crisis, and another side hellbent on shutting down an entire economy and having 375 million people sucking on the government teet.

What an epic f'ing failure of leadership. If there's a single person in a position of power who has the balls or foresight to actually admit that this thing is here to stay for a long time, and we need to strategically change our way of living not to hide from it, and not to deny it, but to recognize it's risks and live WITH and AROUND it, then I'd love to know who that patriot is.

F everyone. Basically.

I get so tired of this ****- LeBron has higher expectations than a KD or Giannis because he’s in a higher tier - the highest tier. And I don’t want to hear anything about how the media handles LeBron. The media is his ***** and has been for awhile now.

Those mid 2000's Cavs rosters were garbage and LeBron carried them to the finals. He was lambasted for not winning it all "cuz muhJOrdaN". Giannis gets the kid's gloves and you know it. And you're damn right he's on another tier; that's my point.

Lebron got blasted by the media because he called himself "The King" and was anointed as "The Chosen One" all before he played his first game. He also was the first to start the super teams crap.

Giannis outside of not making a finals yet hasn't really rocked the boats.

If you don't like the super team "crap", then that must hate UK basketball since we try to get all the top recruits to team up here.

Theres a big difference between recruiting 18 year old kids and a grown man agreement to join up and destroy the league.

Meh... Giannis is still only 25. He’ on a fairly typical superstar trajectory. If we’re bringing Lebron into it, at 25 Lebron was still a couple of years away from his first title (got it in his 9th season).

Lebron should've just been smart like Jordan and gotten beat in the eastern conference playoffs when he had inferior teams instead of dragging them to the Finals. Or have just "retired" when his team was burnt out and they couldn't run it back another year.

Jordan gets his **** pushed in by those Pistons teams for years but it's cool because 6-0 in the Finals and he finally rose up! Bron drags Larry Hughes, Drew Gooden, Anderson Varejao, and a guy named Boobie to play prime Spurs Duncan/Parker/Ginobli and, well, f him, he didn't want it bad enough I guess. Or takes on prime Steph/Klay/Draymond/Iggy in '15 with Love and Irving both out hurt and can't get it done (almost like it's a team game or some ****). Because we all remember when Pippen and Rodman were out in '97 and Jordan willed them to the title. Oh wait, that never happened. Sort of like that '95 Magic series that was meticulously scrubbed from existence before Youtube.
