Giannis has some choice words en route to dismantling the Knicks last night: “This is my city, I ain’t fucking leaving you.”
Thanasis reaction like “oh so we staying here fr?”
Thanasis in charge of the Zillow account from the bench
Honestly would love to be Thanasis. Get to hang out w your bro, train, do some background work for him. Zero pressure
They hate him ‘cause they ain’t him.
Dave , do you think margaritas are gay , because they are so sweet ?
If liking Katy Perry and drinking margaritas is gay, then who wants to be straight, Giannis!?
Yeah I think we’d all love to be thanasis. He probably tells people at the club he’s Giannis too
He doesn’t even have to do that. Hes still a 6’8” guy with an athletic build and millions of dollars. He’d have no trouble pulling
That’s a little tougher to get away with when you’re an entirely different Swinton than your famous athlete brother (who says a sport that doesnt require a helmet)
The club is dark and full of drunk and high folk. He’d pass as Giannis or any nba player from just his height alone.
There’s also a certain point when someone’s height just becomes “really tall” to people outside the specific profession of basketball.
I thought you were gonna say the club is dark and full of terrors
Get paid millions to sit on a bench and get free gear? That’s the life
Lmao “let’s get an apartment together!”
Milwaukee is a nice city. You get real snow at least. God I miss living up north
Pfff that’s nothing, lake effect belts are a whole different beast
Thansis is confused and really needs to know because his lease is up soon.
lmao
Looks like he was sayin “dat my brother”
“Wait, so don’t sign the lease in LA?”
“Last week you said we’re moving to NY”
He found out today just like us
ESPN when he retires: “Giannis was reportedly so fed up with Bucks organization that he preferred to quit basketball all together. Sources say he could come out of retirement to play for Knicks or Lakers”
The clowns at ESPN will be trying to trade his statue outside the stadium to the Knicks after he retires.
SAS will be monologuing at it like Clint Eastwood with the chair
I’m stealing this
Fr though, it’s way more hype when a guy is a hometown hero like this. Bizarre that ESPN’s NFL reporters across the hall can report excitedly on #BuffaloStrong rather than speculate on a Josh Allen trade to the LA Rams
BUT WHAT IF HE COMES BACK FROM RETIREMENT AT 57 FOR A LAST DANCE WITH THE LAKERS????
Well that answers that
ESPN: “My city…fuck…you.” Why Giannis will be a New York Knick by the trade deadline
Don’t give ibuprofen perk any ideas
Kendrick Percocet
That shit he pulled on air was actually funny given the context.
Nothing will beat Jason Whitlocks joy Taylor comments
You’re probably joking but theirs a 50% chance they actually run with something like that
ESPN: Giannis was reportedly talking to Knicks fans when he said that
There was never a question… Idk why people were acting like there was any chance of a trade happening
Slow media off-season, so they pick the biggest star in the smallest market and try to generate their own clicks by constantly insinuating he’s leaving. It’s just about ratings, that simple.
Not that you’re wrong, but in Giannis’ case particularly, this has been the narrative every offseason post-championship lol.
… and who do you think has pushed that narrative?
Blame Shams/Espn
It’s already been answered years ago. I don’t know how many times Giannis has reiterated that he loves Milwaukee, the Bucks organization, and how much he wants to win another ring for Milwaukee
“ well ok… hahaI guess he doesn’t want to compete lol…”
2 months from now - “Giannis wants OUT of Milwaukee according to people familiar with his thinking” Shams
he said it last year too, didn’t change a thing
But see, now we have contradicting reports because earlier this month Windhorst told us Giannis was leaving in 6-7 months. So who are we to believe?
Knicks are contending, not a great time to gut the roster
Plus he doesn’t want to leave
To be fair it really seemed like he could be saying something else like: “This is my city! I ain’t fucking with (wit) you!”
You dont know what this means to me
if Shams could read he’d be absolutely furious right now
[Shams] Giannis has reportedly said “This is my city” during his match against the Knicks. My sources tells me he is referring to New York implying his preferred destination is with the Nets.
Small markets unite
Spurs acting like they’re small market is still the funniest shit ever
San Antonio is the definition of small market NBA team. They just happen to be extremely well run and have attracted talent because of that. It’s definitely not because of any media or sponsorship opportunities like LA, NYC, or Miami. HEB only pays so much per commercial.
Yeah I’ve heard people call the Spurs like the NBA’s version of the Packers before lol
I mean San Antonio has like 15x the population of Green Bay. I feel like Pittsburgh or Baltimore would be a better comp
The teams’ success, not the cities themselves i guess.
But they are?
When NBA fans talk abut small market teams they aren’t talking about a destination organization which players regard highly, and with owners willing to spend to maintain championship teams.
Doesn’t really matter how big the actual city population is lol. Come back to us when you’ve got ESPN discussing every week if Wemby should ask for a trade.
The reputation of an organization being destination for players and respected by ESPN doesn’t mean their local media market size is big. The media market size is literally how big a population the city and surrounding area is and how many homes local media can reach including news and sports.
San Antonio is the 32nd ranked media market in the states between San Diego and Kansas City reaching almost 1.1 million homes. Thats less money for news production, less local PBS/NPR radio station donation and the amount of money a sports team has compared to teams in large media markets. That puts Spurs at a disadvantage as in there is less potential local sponsors since the population is low thus can’t charge a high price.
Now you with a Toronto flair literally has the biggest media market than any team in the NBA since you are the only team in an entire country. Your team not being a destination for big free agents just boils down to players not liking cold weather and not wanting to deal with the boarder, same happens with the Blue Jays in baseball. And ESPN hates covering you guys because ESPN sucks
Do you… Do you know what the term small market means?
hell yeah.
Fans of small market teams get it. I hope he plays his entire career with y’all and makes ESPN cry [again] about going to Milwaukee for more Finals appearances.
I hope so too tbh, even though it hurts my team. I want to see superstars play out their careers with one team, the NBA is better that way.
I hate kissing the NFL’s ass, but I feel like this is something they have a huge advantage over compared to the NBA and especially MLB
It seems like it is more likely in the NFL for players to stay on the teams that drafted them. Maybe I’m talking out of my ass, but for example there isn’t exactly endless speculation every year that Josh Allen is going to randomly opt-out of his contract with the Bills to play for the Patriots or the Jets.
NBA and MLB this is just endless stupidity. You don’t see it as much in the NHL either, but that’s b/c the NHL doesn’t know how to market its stars outside of Canada
You deserve it’s Every summer since 2019 I’ve had to read people on here say “Giannis is going to leave” after he has only continuously said he has no plans on leaving year after year.
Bleacher Reports Twitter in shambles. All off-season, it was what Giannis trade would/could look like, etc. Giannis is truly one of a kind. Everyone on TV wanted him to leave so badly, especially to a big market team.
My wife bought me a Myles jersey around this time last year because I was convinced he was going to be one of the few guys who didn’t leave Indiana for greener pastures so I have some idea (god dammit)
I’m glad he said this. Milwaukee and Giannis just fits together so perfectly
Thanasis: Hell yeah! The Antetoukounmpo Clan finally have their own city!
Athens beside herself, begging (thru Pantheon bracelet sellers), for Antetoukounmpo’s Milwaukee address
Shams in shambles
I am honestly curious to see how he spins this, a Giannis trade is his white whale so this will not deter him from speculating.
In 7 years from now when he retires from the game, Shams will tweet that he’s looking to do a sign and trade but has to retire to do it or some shit lol
Shams will just wait a few months and then you can just create new trade rumors. He’s been wrong on this multiple different times lol
This whole thread is a spin, look at everyone blindly accepting OP’s lip reading.
Shamsbles
Woj in wojbles.
God damn I love this guy
[Charania] - Giannis angrily exclaims “ I … fucking leaving you” to Milwaukee crowd
I … fucking… you!
“YOU GONNA FUCK ON ME!?” - Shams, probably
Milwaukee aint Dallas. We dont have a Nico wrench in our cogs. Giannis IS Milwaukee
We would slingshot Horst straight into the freaking sun if he dared to trade Giannis against his will.
Yeah I dont think Horst is a sociopath lol. The ego one would have to have in order to attempt such a thing would be mind-boggling.
So, Nico then.
Someone must’ve promised him something really amazing in order to sell out the whole city and Luke like that.
One slightly used AD
Why are we always catching strays :‘(
It’s awful. I hate Nico. We had our own Giannis in Dirk. That’s already special enough. Then we had Dirk pass the torch to Luka with a shared season. You just literally don’t get gifted something that magical in sports. It doesn’t happen.
I know its just been talked about to death, but its the only sports news in my life that i havent aclimated to over time. Every single time im reminded of it im still just like.. man wtf was that. Idk how yall stay fans, getting cooper is cool but fuck. Id’t be like if the bucks traded giannis for booker and a frp, i think id be done with basketball for a long time, and especialy if giannis had just carried us to a finals and we didnt have that ring with him already… goddamn
at the beginning of this season i saw a picture of luka in a yellow jersey and was confused for a solid 5 seconds
Words can’t describe how much I love watching Giannis
I’m not sure why Giannis would ever want to leave Milwaukee. It’s the only major American city to have three Socialist mayors.
I did not know that.
And Harley Davidson, Miller Beer, and the classic show, Laverne and Shirley!
It’s also Algonquin for “The Good Land”
Does this guy know how to party or what?
Giannis is awesome
I’m surprised, honestly. I thought the dude loved traveling.
You know what they say, anywhere is 5 steps away in NYC
But he loves carrying (his team and city) even more
It’s not traveling if the refs don’t call it…
He loves dominating that’s for sure.
Good one
“Knicks a pack of ass so I’ll stay”
Not so sure he said that second part.
surprised I had to scroll down this far. I don’t know what he actually said in the second part but I can tell it definitely wasn’t what the title is lol
yea i know my lip reading skills aren’t elite, but they aren’t that bad
Yeah, it’s hard to tell what the second part is, but it doesn’t look like what OP said.
This always happens on this sub someone makes up a title projecting what they want the narrative to be and this sub runs with it with 0 scrunity it’s insane 250 comments in here and maybe 5 watched the video with their brain on.
He didn’t lol
Bucks fans seeing things
ESPN in September 2026: If Giannis hypothetically were to be considered for a trade from Milwaukee (where even is that by the way? lmao XD) it is imagined he would probably prefer LA, NY or Miami.
“I ain’t fucking leaving you!”
Then what’s with all the traveling?
That’s a good one!
ESPN: he’s talking about the Knicks, right…?
You know ESPN pundits started throwing chairs
Or ladders?
We really posting fake lip readings now? He clearly said “This is my shit, I really need to fucking poo”
Giannis is so fckin entertaining to watch in his play and energy,
Fuck big market teams. California, New York, and Florida teams can rot in hell. I hope Lakers, Knicks, Bulls, Warriors, Raptors, 76ers, Heat, and Celtics never win anything ever again.
well said, sick of them all
Boo freaking hoo the Bulls haven’t been relevant since D Rose let’s be fr
Good. Fuck’em
Raptors be like “what he say fuck me for?”
I have said the same thing to many ex’s right after a moment of climax
Shams: “Here’s 10 reasons why a mid-season Giannis trade is inevitable”
how many kids about to be born at Giannis Antetoukounmpo Regional Hospital
IDK about that lip reading. “My city” seems right, but “I ain’t fucking leaving you” doesn’t at all.
Not sure why you’re getting downvoted. It looks like he says, “I ain’t f’king done with you or dumping you”.
That’s a spicy Gyro
That Giannis statue better be than him in size
All of us in Milwaukee knew giannis you didn’t have to tell them the secret let them keep lying to themselves 🥺
As a Spurs fan, it makes me happy seeing a very tall, agile, generational player with an easily mispronounced last name staying with a small market team. 😌
[deleted]
Woj got early stage prostate cancer, but is apparently in much better health now. I read an article saying it basically made his reevaluate what he was doing with the rest of his life
“Giannis calls New York ‘His city’ while playing against the Knicks” - Windhorst
As long as they keep letting him travel he’s not going anywhere
this lessens our chances of getting Giannis for Moody and Kuminga
Easily my favorite non-Spurs player.
Giannis is one of the best franchise player ever. He’s loyal af
Another 1st round exit w/ 2nd option Turner and 3rd Kuzma, lol
RemindMe! 100 days
hopefully it wasn’t just an emotional moment and he keeps his word. not that he would be evil if he went somewhere else, but the sporting world needs all the loyalty it can get right now
Honestly if he wants to go the Dirk route, I totally respect that. I hope for his sake he gets an awesome co star that can help us fans appreciate the back half of his career.
Well when you travel and charge every play I guess you can do whatever you want so yeah checks out
Man took 5 steps on a drive to the basket. He’s definitely traveling somewhere.
Could easily be “This is my shit, everybody knows it’s true”.. just saying!
Laker fans (like me) in shambles rn
rigged
Harden. Lillard. And now Giannis
Please don’t be funny 2 weeks from now.
i like how in a lot of Giannis videos it always ends panning to his brother
In which part does he say I ain’t leaving you? Cause I don’t see it.
Op casually making stuff up
I wish he would stay and retire a buck. It’s so rare for superstars these days.
This gonna hit different after they win the chip this year
This is why you don’t need to be a Bucks fan to root for Giannis.
Milwaukee you have an absolute gem of a man
Nothing like the long walks he takes in Milwaukee…to the fuckin rim
I mean even if Giannis was a chip chaser, why tf would he go to the Knicks?
Shut up ,first round exit .
Sure Giannis.
Luka said the same shit and they shipped his ass
Simply not capable of traveling
dang i love gianni’s
Incoming ESPN article about him leaving in 3, 2, 1…
Looks to me like he actually said “I ain’t fuckin done with you.”
So it is knicks
Thanasis gonne get his 3rd mvp
For someone who doesn’t want to leave the city, he sure did a lot of travelling…
As much as I would love to see him in orange and blue under the bright lights of New York, if he stays a buck forever, I’d be happy. We don’t see too many homegrown stars stay forever anymore.
Bucks looking like contenders now 🤔
this has the potential to age terribly
Until he inevitably leaves at the deadline.
this was tough!!
https://i.imgur.com/RjSs20Q.jpeg
I love franchise players and never want Giannis to leave MIL. Unless he wants to make the move to OH…
Goofy ass
You can have it lol
…yet!
That’s corny as hell
Hold on, I thought he took the 5 steps travel for a trip New York.
yes, Giannis. stay in Milwaukee
Seems like these European generational superstars are incredibly loyal to their franchise. Joker, Giannis, Luka.
Makes sense I suppose, they probably dont grow up rooting for a specific nba team, have friends and family in specific us states, etc.
I predict the next hyped up european talents will have increased value in the draft pick due to their assumed loyalty.
The NBA is fucking incredible because you really get to see how hungry each player is about winning. Whatever these players during the off-season, i want whatever they are having because it certainly inspires me.
My favorite genre of NBA posting, the professional lip readers that almost certainly never get it correct yet everyone just believes it for no reason.
Lmao this game was one close until the final 2 minutes. Dramatic asf.
If they get embarrassed in the playoffs again, he will be waving bye-bye
Shams is a sham
