Man we’ll
Lose with what we got since ppl think we not good enough , he want to come here we not bout to give up everything cause he sick of losing 🤷🏾
1:49 lmao non contact injury chance he could miss time? Ya'll love seeing just how ridiculous the lies you make people believe can get.
Not a fan of LeBron or Giannis. LeBron built a legacy (‘King James’) but relies on physicality; Giannis (‘Greek Freak’) lacks durability and scoring polish. Giannis loses to older stars in his prime; LeBron adapts but declines. Giannis’ loyalty over winning hurts his legacy. Knicks should chase Jokić—elite IQ, durability, and team impact—not Giannis. Jokić + a defensive anchor (like Bam) fixes the Knicks. Stats back it: Hart/Jokić made history. GO NY!
Who gots Bucks pick for 2026?
Not a fan of Giannis Antetokounmpo. Here’s why:
Names & Branding: LeBron at least owns the “King James” legacy. Giannis shares his surname with his brothers (even plays with one), and “Greek Freak” doesn’t scream dominance—especially when injuries derail him combined with the losing streaks.
Playstyle: Both rely too much on physicality over skill. Giannis’s knee issues highlight durability concerns. LeBron adapted (shooting, playmaking); Giannis still struggles with shooting/Passing in his prime!?
Prime vs. Legacy: Giannis, in his prime, loses to aging stars (e.g., Jimmy Butler) and Eastern Conference rivals (Celtics, Knicks, and Cavaliers). LeBron’s longevity is impressive, but his “bully ball” era is fading naturally.
Business Savvy: LeBron understands legacy-building (The Decision, team-hopping). Giannis’s supermax loyalty to Milwaukee feels naive—winning matters more.
For the Knicks? Jokić is the ideal target—elevates teams, unmatched IQ, and durability!!! Giannis is still raw in key areas. Jokić + a defensive anchors would solidify the Knicks’ core. Ultimately, Jokic is less likely to fail due to his strong loyalty and focus on winning, whereas Giannis's future is more uncertain due to the complexities of his contract situation and past statements.
Stats don’t lie: Hart and Jokić are historic company. GO NY!"
He’s faking lmao
I’ve never been a fan of LeBron or Giannis. First, their surnames are off-putting (though ‘King James’ at least has weight). Giannis shares his name with his brothers and plays alongside one—how is he “the man” if he’s “The Greek Freak” with durability issues? Second, their playstyles rely too much on physicality over skill (Giannis’ knee problems prove it). Third, Giannis is in his prime but can’t surpass aging stars (like losing to Jimmy Butler in 2023), while LeBron at least adapted his game for longevity.
Giannis’ loyalty to Milwaukee is admirable, but his lack of business savvy in the NBA is glaring—wits matter more than blind loyalty. Meanwhile, LeBron’s career moves (The Decision, returns, diversification) show strategic thinking.
If I’m the Knicks, I’d prioritize culture fit and a franchise cornerstone—Nikola Jokić (pure dominance, elite IQ, elevates teams) over Giannis, who’s still refining his game in his prime. Jokić carried Denver’s championship run with a deep roster—something the Knicks lack (they need an elite backup guard and defensive anchor). Plus, Jokić’s loyalty and winning focus make him a safer bet than Giannis’ uncertain future.
Fun fact: Josh Hart just joined Jokić as the only players in NBA history with 45+ rebounds, 25+ assists, 10+ steals, and 5+ threes over four games while keeping turnovers low. GO NEW YORK!
He not going to the Knicks yall gotta stop this chill Spurs are a better fit 😂
Nah, the Bucks always making moves for Mr. Antetokounmpo. 🤘👹 USMCIA008 PTSD
Going to the Knicks would be a step back for him.
You don't gut your team for Giannis. Giannis is playing on a gutted team, and they stink. The Knicks should only give up KAT, a bench player and picks for Giannis. OG and Hart must be untouchables.
Doc Rivers is an idiot!!! When Dame didn't work out in Milwaukee, Giannis leaving was a foregone conclusion!!!
Fair trade is Brunson and Hart for Giannis
Even in 2025…they still only promote Superstars going to the Big Markets… wow…never changed
I hate ESPN SI happy to f**k the Knicks team ,Knicks is not trading for Gianni'is I wouldn't even give up OG for Gianni'is and dint even think about kat
Gianni's is a Choker first class
Nope, we Knicks fans don’t want Giannis
Absolutely not keep him out of NY.
If im the bucks im going for lebron so that next year they can start over and release lebron build through draft again.
He needs more water and potassium 😂
doc trippin
Give everything except Brunson. Give Milwaukee whatever they want just get him over there.
Brunson and Mitch. Please Leon, go get him!
Lol doc rivers knows nothing 😂😂😂
Brooklyn should make an offer.
I would trade Giannis. 31 isn't old, But for Power forward it is. I would open for what the best deal. I don't care about players. How many draft picks.
Trading the whole farm for one player has literally NEVER worked in the history of the NBA. How do these analysts get paid to be so foolish????
NBA is sad because instead of actually talking about the GAMES, eevery media person focuses on TRADES.
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!
With Giannis out for almost a month; that means my worst nightmare is in the East likely will happen yet again. The Chicago Bulls will end up claiming the last plan-in spot; just like what happened in the last 3 years.
Go to the Lakers for Reeves, Brony & Lebron 😂
Can everyone stop the speculations. He also mentioned he wanted to fornthe Heat as well as the Warrior's., now tye Knicks. Let's just wait for Shams to announce it. He will be the first to know.
We need to trade for Giannis, Curry to the Hornets. Giannis, Curry, B Mill Trio will win are first championship.
Doc Rivers is clearly a bad luck charm to NBA organizations. The moment he signed with the Bucks I knew everything would fall apart 😂
Some say that the trade didn't work at first because they wanted to add Kuzma to the trade , but at the end of the day , the Spurs have drafts and are the closest to take him .
But if the Knicks don't call , and Giannis wants only the Knicks , OG , Mitch and Pacome plus who knows how many Second rounds will be the only stuff the knicks will accept
Espn getting sponsored by draftkings is fine but when these ninjas get caught theyre banned for life. Crazy world we live in.
