Translation: I liked players who played similar to how I played when I was a kid. I donβt know why people are hating on him for this.
Tatum's 24.
Jaylen's 26.
It's really hard to win when your best players are that age.
It can happen. Wade was 24 in 06. Curry was 26 in '15.
But it's really hard.

βHe doesnβt really understand how to be great, how to be better, how to train his bodyβ
Then whatβs this
Sources: Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo will return to the lineup in Game 4 vs. Heat tonight barring any setbacks. Antetokounmpo missed Games 2 and 3 with a lower back contusion.

Just wanted to have sportsmanship and say that the Suns played an amazing game but Booker the drive leans in knocked away and stolen by Holiday! Phoenix has to foul and Antetokounmpo throws it down!

The 2023 NBA Playoffs have officially tricked people into thinking that Giannis isnβt an elite offensive player. Yes, heβs not on Jokic/Curry level but he is definitely T10 in the NBA if not higher.
