“I don’t care how it works. What happens, I’m happy I’m having this feeling. Like even today, working out with you guys, trying to figure you guys out, I haven’t had that in a long time. For 13 years. I need that pressure. I need it. I like it.”
My bwoy got that first day at a new school feeling
fist day energy, but the homework is game 7
If you’re doing analogies, game 7 is exams my man
He’s excited to be the new guy for the first time in 13 years. Being the new guy means he has pressure to learn the ebbs and flows of all the players, coaches, and org as a whole.
He’s been King of Milwaukee for 10+ years
He looks hungry. When this team fills out…..
giannis gonna fuck around and get spo fired
The Heat will fire themselves, down to a man, Pat Reilly all the way to mop girls, before they ever lay a finger on Spo
what
Exactly
Did he stutter?
He did at first, hence the edit
Understandable that maintaining stability with a great coach would be foreign to you but this is how it should work
It was the phrasing and sentence structure I was commenting on my guy, not the sentiment.
You’ll notice they edited their comment because it was incomprehensible before
Flair up
Prime Lebron didnt get Spo fired and Spo had zero championships then. He’s been to 6 since that time. Do the math.
Better players than him have tried and failed, Spo will walk on his own terms and I doubt Giannis will want to get rid of the coach who will him lock that mvp next season
Me when I’m a moron:
Wat a weird thing to say and get up voted on about the guy with Pop lvl job security
Giannis with Beal and DeRozan is gonna be a problem 😤
2nd round exit
First round exit
Salty bucks be happy having players from a elite development squad to rebuild with
Taking out the specific part of the quote where he explains he’s talking about not playing with people he’s familiar with, hence the new pressure. Devious OP.
He says the same thing in this clip tho wym
He says the same thing except, you know, after the 13 years part he clarifies “like, I knew who I was playing with” before going along with the quote
It’s slick editorializing to generate a more inflammatory quote, even If OPs not the one who started it
That’s not editorializing lmfao. Or inflammatory at all
Literally is, but believe what you want
Guess they just coincidentally cut the short phrase in the middle of the quote where he contextualizes lmao
Everyone else in this thread knew exactly what Giannis meant by the headline lol context clues are your friend, unless you need everything spoonfed to you.
we’ve gotten to the point im getting replies legitimally arguing “everyone else in this thread knew1!”, shit makes me sad for US education
No dude, not everyone, my initial comment is upvoted for a reason. And If you actually read what Im writing youd realize you and the weirdos being mad about having it pointed out to you that there’s a part of the quote missing, not because whoever posted randomly decided to take away a line, but to lead the reader in a direction, are being dumb.
How’s that devious lmao that’s sort of implied
Yea this is weird lol. Reading the title alone, you can tell exactly what he means, it literally says “trying to figure you guys out”. There are a couple ppl here playing RageBait Police or something, this post is fine lmao
Do you really not realize the difference between “even today, trying to figure you guys out, I havent had that in a long time, for 13 years” and “even today, trying to figure you guys out, I havent had that in a long time, for 13 years, like, I knew everyone I was playing with”?
Do you really think those convey the same message, that the first one doesnt leave room for multiple interpretations? You guys need to think more critically about the headlines you consume
I wish I was this gulliable about headlines not to realize the obvious intent in cutting out the one line in the quote where Giannis further clarifies what he means by what he’s saying.
Do you not realize the difference between “I missed this pressure” and “I missed this pressure because I already knew everyone I was playing with”? One of those options leaves open a whole roster of interpretations of why he wouldnt feel pressured
This was posted in the heat subreddit. I just downloaded the video and posted it here. I didn’t edit it myself lol
“I’m happy I’m having this feeling. Like even today, working out with you guys, trying to figure you guys out, I haven’t had that in a long time, for 13 years. I knew who I was working with.”
His words in the video verbatim communicate exactly what you’re trying to say is left out of this post/video. Even if you just read the body of the post, it’s the same thing.
The “I knew who I was working with” you wrote literally isn’t in the title bro, it’s not the same thing
Are people really this illiterate nowadays? Jesus
There’s nothing illiterate about realizing that this quote has been altered to make it more inflammatory.
It’s going be really obvious who just read the title and who watched the video
Why? Did OP misquote someone?
No. The quote removed all context of what he said after the quote.
but the context he gives afterward is rather easily suggested by the previous statements
Is it? Because to me it’s pretty clear that he means he’s feeling the pressure because it’s a new environment than the environment he was used to for the last 13 years. What did you think he means?
I took the same as you are
…because his teammates are new, no? are his new teammates not apart of the new environment? the extra context isnt really needed because the previous statements suggest as much.
I mean if you just read the headline and dont watch the video you would assume he’s shitting on the Bucks.
He’s going to have a big year I think
I love him, and I just want him to be happy.
Watching this a bucks fan must be brutal.
Least they got that championship. Decent consolation prize
You should see them on twitter
East is going to be a bloodbath
This is what I’ve been saying all along. Giannis didn’t want to leave the Bucks just because they weren’t winning, they had a terrible culture once Bud left. Both Giannis and Pat are the type to push all out for a the Play-In game just because they hate losing/tanking. The only issue is Giannis was a big part of the Bucks culture problem at the end so Spo gotta get that under control. But outside of being late for flights and bus trips Giannis is the human embodiment of “Heat Culture”.
Giannis is too nice and talks too damn much lol
These Americans don’t appreciate that.
I do, it’s pretty refreshing and even endearing at times. The clip of him talking about how he is in love with his wife is a great example, he is very well-spoken. Not just in the sense that he is educated, but he seems incredibly genuine and capable of separating his wealth from his perspectives.
Agreed just saying America doesn’t appreciate that and fans will turn on him on the dime once they become dissatisfied
I don’t think it’s about Americans, I think it’s about people don’t like people who talk in a performative way, and Giannis definitely talks that way.
It doesn’t help that he is definitely a lot more dishonest of a person than he like to make his public image be, as the Kalshi and trade rumors have shown.
Americans Americans Americans lmao
Miami philly will be good watch or complete 💩
That new-team energy is so rare at his level. Imagine trading 13 years of familiar faces for a blank locker and still feeling this hype.
Be the change you want to see
I don’t believe a word he says anymore. Just trying to say the right things.
This guy is great people
I fully expected Miami to have no interest in Lebron because giannis would have too big of an ego to share the spotlight with him but instead Giannis was recruiting and gassing up Bron more than anyone
Wasn’t like 20% of Milwaukees roster his own brothers?
ESPN: Giannis hates his own family.
76’rs getting swept by heat or knicks in the first rnd after having a middling season.
Nah man, Sixers are winning 60+, getting serious hype as a title favorite, then getting swept in the first rnd
sixers won’t win 60+ when bron and embiid will combine to miss 75 games in the regular season but they will find an even worse way to lose before the ecf than in 2019
Oh no, if they don’t have LeBron and Embiid they will have to start Maxey, VJ, JB, Wade and Bona or Hukporti. Still a better roster than most teams in the league.
I’m so ready to never hear Giannis talk again bruh
Then scroll past?
Edit: wow you send a reddit cares for this?
All worked up over nothing
I didn’t think a one sentence opinion was worked up but if it fits than sure
