2024 NBA Season

What kind you say about Giannis post game interview, he somewhat throw some on KD and Lebron winning rings with other super stars (super teams).

So would you rather have Giannis 1 ring against KD 2 with the GSW or Lebron's 2 with Miami?

It's a whole lot of debate that I have been hearing around social media now.

Could this be the end up super teams? Likely not but we shall see.

The idea of building a superteam will always be associated with the league while it's moving forward. As I mentioned before way back here, having a set of good role players is much better compare to having 2-3 superstars on a team so I don't really mind these superteams.

I really don't take it as superteams are unbeatable and a sure win to the championship due to several factors such as;

a) injuries and we all saw it these playoffs creating lots of "what if" scenarios
b) underperforming (choke)
c) big adjustment by the opposing team
d) sudden chemistry problem

and many more..

Jealousy.  Road to MVP contest in one team.

Superteams are like villains of the game. It also takes out the fun and balance of the whole association. They input a salary cap for that reason.
They can't go hiring every star player out there then end up with just 5 players who can really play basketball.
A team needs someone to back him up whenever one needs a breather or an accident happens. I think Bobby Portis Jr. is a good example of this event.
Whenever Giannis needs a breather he is always ready and he stepped up his game when he was injured.

For me all rings are created equal, it's not the first time that we have heard about this super teams.

If I remember correctly, the Boston Celtics has super teams in the 60's, Bill Russell, Bob Cousy, KC Jones and other future hall of famers.

So for me, I don't have an issue with KD joining the GSW for a title run, or James teaming up with DWade in Miami.

I can't find the part of the interview about that. Is this the post-game interview of him in front of the media?

Or is this the video about a debate between analysts Stephen A. Smith, Max Kellerman, and Kendrick Perkins whether they would want to have Kevin Durant’s two rings with the Golden State Warriors by joining a super team or have Giannis Antetokounmpo’s one ring? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFhcZ1Miluo

I try to search it in Youtube mate,

Here is what I got: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OBOGG0EiDV8

Go forward 1:22, (audio is shit though), he basically says that this is the hard way to do it. He can go to other teams to form a super team and it's easy - that's according to Giannis. Well Nowitzki did in in Dallas winnings against a Lebron lead Miami. And then now Giannis, but this is going to be a long debate for NBA fans whether super teams are bad or not.

The documentary is about the famous brawl in the league, "Malice in the Palace". I like to see some inside stuff and never-before-seen information and untold stories on the 5 week run of the documentary.

The premier will be on August 10.

Thank you for this harizen. We have only seen what the NBA allowed to be televised but most probably there are a lot which they buried in secrecy for viewers 18 below. I would love to see this documentary too and will even purchase a pay-per-view if needed.
I was watching that game live while I was still underage and they cut the game and get back with Ron Artest lying on administration table (the one they get their powders at and substitution) until a fan threw a bottle of water to him. Then it was cut again. They thought it all calmed down until that bottle. 
Want to hear some insights with the players too or if they can get their hands on that fan who threw the bottled water.

I think Giannis has to respect Lebron and Durant, they join a team because they want to win a championship and it's not illegal, if he does not want to be criticized, he should not talk sh*t about other superstars, did Giannis want to hear that he only won because his team was playing against an injured Brooklyn Nets?

Respect indeed, he may be the man of the moment after winning the title but the question is how long he will

hold this, knowing that there are many rivals in this coming new season, better to stay humble and prove your worth without saying
against anyone, you'll be love by the fans more. Look how MJ kill all those rivals stars from his era, by simply climbing without any
self claimed he destroy everyone to bring himself at the very top!

Exactly, the chance of the Bucks to win the NBA Finals or even advance in the NBA Finals is not high if they were able to face a healthy Brooklyn Nets, and if they got lucky and advance in the NBA Finals, they might struggle against a healthy LA Clippers.

That's just my opinion, and I really believe Bucks would not win.

Look, I'm not a hater of Giannis, in fact I bet on the Bucks to win against the Suns, I'm just telling the reality.

They got lucky Irving and harden is hurt, with Irving in those match up, bucks might have not made it to the finals, durant alone is not enough, but the experience of Irving is very important if they face Brooklyn again and the team is still intact, I think it will be a different result, it's just unfortunate for the nets, even though giannis won a championship he should be still down to earth.

Not that impossible they got the momentum now. For sure they'll restore the present roster they got by now but these other teams will surely create another one that may challenge them. Well, social media is somewhat overhyped and it's the way it used to be but it's a bold statement from the Greek Freak to be honest.

Just a heads up, we will be hearing superteam news on social media in the coming months until we get onto the next season, another interesting things to follow. Never gets old.

That's true. He should not boast about it too much since it's only his first championship.
What if it will also be the last? Then he will swallow his own words.

With respect to others who have won it even like Danny Green, Robert Horry, and even Steve Kerr.
Those guys may have been lucky or Steve just going for a winning shot but those are still efforts.
Any player in one team who won a championship has gone thru rigorous training with them off-camera so they also had their share of a team being a champion.

I guess the Suns also were lucky in the playoffs. I mean, if the Lakers and the Clippers had been fully healthy, the Suns wouldn't have been able to reach the final series. Regarding Giannis, he definitely will be down to earth in the next playoff imho.

That's correct, both the Suns and Bucks are lucky that their opponent has an injured star, in the first round, I'm sure the Suns will not be able to win against the Lakers if Davis was healthy. So even if they have a good record, they might have an early exit, they are just hype because they beat the Lakers and the Clippers that's why going to the NBA Finals they are the favorites, but as what we say, they are not the better team in that series.

I do agree on this but its pointless on making out argumentation because main supporters or fans of these teams would just surely oppose with this sentiment.

Im not really seeing for them to be better compared into those superteams that had  been defeated or beat up.Considering those factors or events do happen then majority of those star players

aren't able to play due to injuries or some  other reason.If they were just healthy on that time then we wont really be seeing different teams in  the finals but well its too late to make out
some comparison.

[Yogee]

Come on stop discrediting the efforts of the teams who made it to the finals or crowned as champions. You all know injuries can happen to anyone at any time. You may as well consider most champions as lucky because their opponents in the playoffs had injured players.

I had the Clippers winning that series too but I give respect to Suns for winning games without CP3.

We have our own opinion though, but you are right, let's respect the winner, and let's respect Giannis for carrying his team to the NBA Finals and winning it.

Shaq has passed the torch on to Giannis, and we know this man is not easily pleased but look what he said on Twitter.

Well, for those that have been feeling regret and think that they're just lucky because of the injury.

It's part of the game, whether the superstars got injured and that lessened the teams winning power. It's part of it, and what's done is done and congratulations to Bucks, 50 years in the making.

Wow!

Wow!

And Bucks should be proud because it was their franchise player who helps the team to make it possible, unlike other teams that need to form a superteam in order to win a championship, you know what I'm saying, right?

If Giannis will win another championship, then I will have to admit that he is already in level with Lebron James and Kobe Bryant, for now, there are people who are still in doubt that the Bucks will not win a championship if they face a healthy Nets or a healthy Lakers/Clippers in the NBA Finals.

look at the NBA winner odds for next season, Bucks is x10.
