Giannis almost had a heart attack after being convinced LeBron signed with Cleveland. Giannis when he found out it’s fake: “So there is a chance. “
Giannis’ Kalshi bet on “where does LeBron sign” almost failed.
The panic is understandable.
That Kalshi ad singlehandedly destroyed his entire rep. Crazy how it took 15 years to build and its just over now. He could go 50/12/17 and everyone would still spam Kalshi. Mind u he signed a max and that ad was probably worth pennies relatively
destroyed his rep on reddit, majority of sports fans aren’t on reddit
Majority of sports fans aren’t active on social media at all. Internet is dead.
It is funny how often people are outraged online then literally anyone you see in real life either dont know, dont show, or dont care about whats going on lol
Did you just kind of quote Boyz n the Hood? I caught that.
[deleted]
I think most people consume the internet passively and don’t post at all.
Bars and clubs I think it’s the money. We definitely still have fun spots out here though.
It’s the contrary, most sports fans are on social media. Your bar for what constitutes a sports fan is just too high.
Giannis’ rating with redditors who don’t actually watch games is an an absolute nadir.
I’ve been on reddit a long time. Probably longer than I should but I’ve definitely learned this to be true. What happens on here rarely reflects even a piece of what the majority of people are caring or talking about.
Majority of sports fans are starting to hate kalshi after their spam of brain dead commercial after brain dead commercial
I’d love to hear your reasoning why promoting Kalshi (which is even worse than sports gambling) isn’t extremely wack without some dumb strawman
did i ever say anything about kalshi? i bet you get invited to parties often huh
So you got nothing then alright
barking up the wrong tree champ
Nobody cares, outside of Reddit it’s only used to make funny memes about Giannis but nobody actually dislikes him for it
Facts. Wait until redditors find out that there’s like 50 other players that also have gambling promos lmao
While there isn’t hatred directed towards Giannis specifically, a lot of “normal fans” (IE not social media obsessed weirdos) find the overt influence of sports betting extremely distasteful.
Even my MIL who doesn’t watch sports commented on how aggressively they push gambling while we had it on when she was visiting.
Facts. I dislike him because he travels 15 times a game.
Really not, maybe in this sub but like the 90% of NBA fans dont care and I despise betting sites but most people i know dont mind. Heck Joker, KD and others superstars even had ads with betting sites and it never went anywhere
It doesn’t significantly affect my opinion of him at all. Sure it’s lame but the guy grew up selling trinkets on the streets of Athens. I get the lack of discretion on what he endorses, even if I don’t support it.
That Kalshi add singlehandedly destroyed his entire rep
Not in the real world LMAO. I implore you to log off. Obviously, him getting in bed with Kalshi is disappointing – but please talk to some real humans before coming to these conclusions. His “rep” is a real-world thing: not something you can deduce by sitting in your basement reading social media comments.
You never hear Kalshi stuff with KD lol, reddit is an echo chamber of hate, its very different to real life, he is still very easily one of the most renowned and liked players by all fans
Why don’t people give LeBron shit for his draftking partnership also?
Whats more valuable, tens of millions of dollars, or street cred on reddit. I know what Im picking 😏
Lol nobody gives a fuck about that, how is that worse than what any player shills out for?
Touch grass bro
This post perfectly encapsulates how much of a bubble redditors are in.
Lmfao the bubble redditors live inside of is hilarious
please touch grass no one gives a shit in the real world
It is only Redditors. I bet Giannis is really sad I dont have him in my flair anymore!
Dude u people r chronically online no one in the real world gives af lmao
Get over yourself lmao. And touch some grass while you’re at it. You’re the reason why Redditors have the stereotypes they do
Out of the loop, isn’t Kalshi just a betting site? What makes it so bad?
Kalshi exists in a legal grey area so that it is not technically considered gambling even though that’s exactly what it is. Because of this they can be even more predatory than the actual sports betting apps, and you can bet on all sorts of wild and unethical stuff. Beyond all that though it would be crazy for Giannis to endorse literally any of the betting apps since he’s a current player in a league that people are constantly betting on. It’s a clear conflict of interest and now he’s endorsed by far the worst one.
You can bet on everything, so it’s filled with insider trading.
He is pushing gambling while being a hero to kids around the world. It’s a very bad look. Changed my opinion of Giannis forever, personally.
Whats your opinion on Lebron, Steph, Jokic, KD (also with Kalshi), and basically every other star player?
Anyone who is actively promoting gambling where kids can see it is scum as far as I’m concerned
Then thats fair, I was checking because you only really hear about it with Giannis on this sub despite a ton of the other stars who also are invested and support gambling companies
If you’re argument in favor is just whataboutism it’s probably not a good argument
It’s set up in a way that circumvents the typical regulations against insider trading. In the scope of sports, it’s not very different from a traditional sportsbook. Outside of sports, it’s being used for a lot of grifting
Kalshi bets on nba games.
He’s an nba player.
So there is a slight conflict of interest there.
As I understand it, Kalshi is functionally similar to trading stock options.
You do not understand it
Like Malik Beasley going for a rebound
More that people will stop paying fees to bet on where lebron will go. He’s working for the house.
One of the most dissapointing things has been watching Giannis go from a humble guy who grew up in poverty, so he knew what that struggle is like, to now the poster boy for gambling.
You werent seeing anything. Just <1% of his reality being curated for your viewing purpose.
I’m sure his family and future generations of his family are going to be very troubled about your disappointment when they’re living off his generational wealth for the next century
I know they don’t care, and I know they are well taken care off with you sucking them off like a good little boy.
time to find a therapist, sport
Watch out guys, the other dude said “sucking them off”, that’s like really really bad wow wow wow
2 crash outs + you’re both children
Gee, what a burn
Hm. Certainly looked like the shocked reaction of someone expecting LeBron to join him in Miami.
It’s the best spot imo. LeBron won’t hardly have to play any defense lol just sit there and pass and shoot open shots
it isn’t
they have terrible depth, spacing is dreadful, and he’ll be relied on too heavily for shot creation
They’ll have bench pieces by October and they already do They also have shooters and Spo is notorious for making something out of nothing.
Shot creation isn’t as hard on your body like playing defense. Every team he’s being tied to has a depth problem.
All he literally would have to do in Miami is shoot and facilitate, every where else he will have to do that plus be playing defense.
From what Rich Paul said this morning, Miami checks every box he said.
He doesn’t need to facilitate in Cleveland (assuming Harden comes back) or Minnesota. His offensive workload will be much higher in Miami than either of those two.
Also, Gobert+McDaniels and Mobley+Allen are both fantastic defensive duos.
I don’t think LeBron minds halfcourt playmaking. He can leave running in transition to Giannis.
There’s noone better than LeBron for Giannis to give the ball to after he gets double teamed to make a quick read.
I agree that Minnesota is a great fit too though.
Cleveland a bit less so because of Harden imo.
Overall LeBron is an All-Star on a minimum, every team in the NBA would benefit but I do think Miami and Minnesota benefit the most in terms of fit.
Sure but bam/giannis/mitchell/wiggins is even better
That’s what he’s wanting is more offense and less defense
If Bron comes the depth is fine
surely, who’s gonna be their secondary shot creator?
I don’t know, perhaps the guy that won an NBA championship as the primary shot creator in 2021?
We meme on Bam for 83 but he can still score on his own too. Their “Big 3” with LeBron would be kinda ugly, but it would work.
People really are discrediting just how dominant LeBron, Giannis, and Bam are. They will get to their spots. Plus all three of them are exceptionally well playmakers for their respective positions. With LeBron being one of the best playmakers ever.
Yeah, they can all score, they can all defend, they are all arguably some of the best passers in each of their positions.
2011 Heatles all over again
The spacing will be ass though
I trust in spo to make it work
They would be a defense oriented team
Been the case for Spo’s entire career (maybe not 2014), so I would expect so
Lebron would literally be the only spacing
Even then, it won’t necessarily be crazy consistent lol
that team won’t be that good lol
A team with 2 all stars and other pieces won’t be any good?
They won 43 games last season without Herro for most of it while being a top offense in the league with 11th in 3pt % and they replaced JJJ with Hardaway and still have Wiggins, Portis and Mitchell plus whoever else they pick up.
People just see Bam and Giannis and say they have no shooting
when did i say “won’t be any good”?
Don’t forget the tax haven
Except Lebron doesn’t hit open shots
Haha yeah same thought i had
Curious, this was also my completely biased reaction as well
Yeah maybe Giannis just has a condition where his heart starts racing after any NBA transaction he hears about unrelated to him or his team.
Not as good as somewhere else. Awooooooo
He kinda looked betrayed for a second
Today….
Why is Giannis hanging out with the streaming moron?
Seriously, he’s only famous because of the amount of dumbasses that exist in the world. Can’t stand him.
I thought he was just a bad Speed impersonator that ran off botted views but every week I see a video of him with a new NBA player or celebrity lmao. I will never understand how this guy has any motion to pull this off.
Probably because he’s being paid to do so? And we all know Giannis would never pass up the opportunity to earn more
He’s got his brothers to think of.
I know he’s funny and speaks different. But giannis is also a moron
idiots love hanging with other idiots that are so dumb that it makes the first idiot feel smart
Starts M and ends in oney.
Because these streamers just kiss their ass and as much as it sucks they do have huge platforms. So it’s basically an easy way for them to get more PR.
NBA is trying to be hip. They’re paying for this shit.
Money obviously. Last year he was with the other idiot, Speed, when he visited Greece.
I got to know the money these nba dudes sign up for to spend hours with streamers who are this socially fucking awkward lol.
it’s so disheartening. stop giving these losers platforms lol. society is cooked.
Ok this makes sense. I had no idea who these people were. They didnt seem like friends. They certainly don’t seem like interviewers. So it’s like a paid hangout for other people to watch?
What’d this streamer do?
He’s very annoying. Thats all I know.
Hes a racist troll. He got his fame being a racist troll. He then “apologized” clearly just for the publicity so his name was clear enough to do this. Just a typical low life.
People are just envious of his success I imagine. There’s a lot of hate on Reddit. From what I understand he’s just a guy who makes almost his entire life reality TV but he’s a relatively regular dude (except he’s rich).
Am I interested in watching him? No, but I don’t get the hate.
He’s the human version of wet toilet paper
And then sit like this in the backseat of a car. wtf
Bang bros is getting weird
They don’t offer money it’s free clout for both
Actually Neon once talked about how much it may cost him. Iirc he even highlights how expensive one of the ball brothers was and that they decide how earnings from the stream are split before
Maybe the streamers just treat them like a regular person n that’s what they need in life from someone who isn’t family
Bro doing tricks on it
Even I have seen enough clips of these fucking dweebs to know they don’t treat anyone like a regular person. What are we doing here.
He probably ends up with Cleveland
Simply so they can print “Cl3veland” shirts
Yes that is why and for no other reasons at all
Threeveland, I know that’s what they’ll say because I live there.
CLeVeland
I hate most of the Le jokes, but this one made me laugh
Why do these rich ass famous ass athletes hang out with shit stains like this dude? When I see them doing this I immediately write them off as complete dumbasses who are either greedy or idiotic enough to sell out their morals and their image for yet more money, all of which was originally accrued for them through the worst means and now generates ridiculous amounts of profits for completely undeserving people. This platform only serves to corrupt people from top to bottom and this shit stain of a waste of space needs to take his unearned millions and spare the public from his awful footprint. To even write this feels like a pathetic waste of time but one which will hopefully inform some to the new evils of the world
what if I told you the athletes are not much better
what the hell are you on about
What’d he do?
But what does Kalshi say?
Don’t know if you’re serious, but it’s 58% Cleveland right now, next closest is 17% Warriors. First time I’ve ever been to that site is 5 minutes ago. It’s basically just another polymarket?
Lol they’re the same thing
Whatever it says is the opposite of what will happen.
Why do you think Dr. Kalshi got Boston involved in his trade talks.
Make way more money on the unlikely outcome.
So this is inaccurate the website gets most things right most of the time
Yeah of course. But individuals make the most money when they bet the underdogs.
Why is Giannis hanging out with that weirdo racist kid?
Giannis not from this country. Maybe he thinks the racist bullshit neon says about Black Americans doesn’t apply to him. Maybe he’s “one of the good ones” in his mind.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned being raised by a Black American mother and an Afro-Caribbean father…racist people do not give a fuck what kinda Black you are lmao
Need everybody who is a part of the diaspora to realize this, and stand up for each other regardless of what country, island, region, or tribe we hail from.
I don’t disagree. Just giving a possible reason he would associate w this douchebag.
you understand that this guy was a kid when he said racist things right
Took longer than expected for the scumbag protector to show up. I understand its fuck neon forever. Pos.
From what I’ve seen of this guy, it’s disappointing that Giannis would hang out with him.
Giannis literally promotes gambling he doesn’t care about anything besides business
Fuck this tall athletic gambling addict.
prolly has fat cock too
Big balls too and it’s probably pretty potent
Been having a rough day dealing with health issues and your comment cracked me up. Thanks fam
im going through something too. sometimes we all just need a fat cock to laugh at.
Wait what
Lmfao wp.
You’re dp is my reaction wth
Buddy cj is that way.
Just a couple weeks early
I don’t know anything about this streamer besides he’s basically incel royalty and his most viral clip is rage baiting a trans person by following them and intentionally misgendering them while they just try to enjoy a Con.
Who remembers the narrative that Giannis is the best “person” to obtain superstar status? I know I remember. You’re only as good as the company you keep. This + Kalshi? 50 house points taken from Slytherin, Giannis.
I swear I’m not trying to give you a hard time, but (correctly!) calling out transphobia and still using Harry Potter references is such a millenial habit. I do it too, sometimes it’s just the best option lol
oh brother
Lowkey, that is definitely some genetic generational coding because I didn’t even realize I had done that lol
Stop giving that loser views. Please.
I have no idea who this little shit stain is.
I envy you
Yup, absolutely no clue and I’m alright with that.
The worst part is that is aways some other shit stain who is worse. I have no clue who in the fuck are watching those people lol.
Mostly children, unfortunately. Really helping to shape the youth of the future.
Same lol I’m 30 and I watch YouTube streams alot
Lmao
Giannis being THIS surprised and upset means, that he knows the HEAT are making big efforts to sign Lebron. Giannis let us all take a gander at the HEAT’s cards.
This LeBron frre agency frenzy for his record 24th NBA season is unprecedented and GOATed within itself
Why is Giannis getting his breast touched by a shitty streamer?
honestly tired of seeing the dude with glasses so fuck giannis for this
It’s Miami - always has been Miami
Giannis going for an Oscar
This must be hell. I’ve seen the “hey chat” jokes and memes, but I thought they were embellished.
What does he know…
he’s not worried about at the chance of being a teammate but because he puts his money on the wrong team
It’s so weird how celebrities always hang out with that one streamer guy lol.
I just think it’s funny how Giannis pronounces Cleve-UH-land.
So Giannis really wants to play with LeBron. Good to see. Hopefully they make it happen
Apparently it doesn’t matter if LeBron signs with Cleveland since this sub seems to have a hate boner for them and think they’ll barely make the playoffs with him.
Giannis’ reaction wasnt contrived and over-the-top enough, he’ll never make it as a streamer
How does this weird kid get all these nba players on stream
Am in the only one who has no idea who’s the guy in the middle? Is he supposed to be famous? I know there’s a guy named speed, but are streamers that famous?
Honestly asking, I’m in my early 30s and feel like a boomer because I don’t use social media outside of Reddit.
The amount of professional athletes that hang out with this loser makes me so sad
He has to pay them a lot of money.
OP, it’s embarrassing you’re watching this asshat.
Yeah James. This dude sincerely wants to ball with you.
If it’s a choice between Bam & Giannis or Harden & Mitchell, I hope James is not being blinded by the desire to be home in CLE again.
Who is this kid and why does he get to cup Giannis’ breast?
“Lebruun sign weeth Cleevieluund” 😂😂😂
Heat are second round exist best.
And what about the Lakers
First round I guess
All my money on the Heat making it out of the east now
