7 triple doubles 1000 points 500 rbds 500 assits yep playing like he is in a rec league what a muppet
I usually don't click anything with this goofy Laurence dude in it, but I did today and I regret it. His take is just never one that I agree with because it seems lazy. Either he's lazy and doesn't watch anything or he's not bright and has no idea what he is watching.
Embarrassing takes on a Chicago broadcast no less, why give a hater air time like that?
Mate this guy has no idea about Giddey. Do some homework. He’s not a selfish guy. He plays for his team. With good Aussie grit
Josh maybe playing for a contract but he can do it for a 4 month period and counting. If he can get bulls into play off's and more GTFOOH commentator! FFS he is still just 22 and been through ups and downs!!!!! How many 22 year old are doing what he is doing in the nba???😮
I hate to tell this idiot but the NBA is nothing more than a pickup game in the hood today. That is not meant to be racist but to be a statement of fact.
It's true that Josh Giddey had a most difficult time in last year's finals for OKC & was then traded. The year before (April 2023) while still only 20, he had a game in the play-in match vs Pelicans where he shot 31 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds. So he CAN perform at this stage of the season. Dismissing his efforts this season as "rec league" is just a lazy, slapdash throwaway line.
The guy speaking like everybody in THE NBA plays defense 😂😂😂. The NBA is boring but Giddey obviously brings an excitement. The NBA has to bring back defense and hand checking. Who cares if you're not sold out on him? You probably suck at basketball like many others in the NBA now 😂😂😂. Give the guy hus due and give him what he deserved. He carved his way to where he is now and he bring the Bulls to relevancy with him 💯✔️.
The dude that says Giddey plays like he is in a rec league had to get cut from the team in the 9th grade he HAS NO IDEA what he is talking about you dont get tripple doubles playing in a rec league smh i swear
Holmes who?
Wow. So much confidence in their own team. 🙄
Nobody knows who this idiot is
He's Aussie! Typical US arrogance thinking that they're better than anyone else.
The guy with the beard will never like Giddy because he is not black.
Seriously this guy is delusional- ig he can’t see what Giddy’s brings to the team he doesn’t know Basketball- Giddy up 🎉
It's really getting to the yanks that a lot of talent is coming from outside the US now isn't it 😂
Not impressed by the main reason the team was able to match last years result but with a new young core. Oh yeah, he may of got the points the assists the rebounds but he was only doing that to get paid.WTF?? Newsflash. A sports commentator claims the ability to read minds of nba players!! What was the motivation behind his comments….too appear sophisticated and edgy…Geesh!
What’s with the hate? The young man was going through a psychological issue. Thanks to the Bulls support, he’s shining
No idea prejudice
He's literally playing for a contract. If your head isn't up your ass, you might notice he's also playing to win.
