The Guys React to Giannis Winning His Second-Straight MVP Award | NBA on TNT 

Truly inspiring

I agree I can only imagine how players like giannis felt.

yeah especially, one that got award is at home watching the rest of playoff on TV.

2007 Dirk MVP vibes

I always thought the NBA Awards show on TNT was not a very good idea and still feel that way.

True

it really irritated me, the way people reacted to giannis winning that year. You dont just win titles in the nba, you have to be toughened by losses. Giannis came back tougher and stronger and so did khris, now look, he's a champ. The way he did it too, being the best offensive and defensive player. Total validation of being the MVP and Depoy

And its unhealthy for growth

Well I KNOW if I meet a lady for Love, I am NOT going to wait till she: Stop *ucking another male, using drugs, etc....how long SHOULD I wait for her to stop doin those things till I marry her. Or SHOULD ACCEPT her with Negative\Bad that would Ruin Our Love\Lationship with one another❓❗

Now he's even more right.

Was 27 when he first jumped ship* did you not listen to Chuck man.

SD81 A After the loss in 2011, the media was tearing up the Heat and said they had to break up.

Scruff D0g but at the same time let’s not act like because you go somewhere else to win a championship it invalidates it. It is NEVER “easy” to win a championship so they also gotta stop that narrative. Look at the clips.

@@10mitchel23 Still missed Chuck point staying with the team. MJ, Dirk, Tim D and Kobe would have been better examples.

@@uyiosaigiehon7174 it's not a popularity contest bro , you don't get participation prizes. The whole point of a season is to Win the trophy otherwise what's the point?

Dirk one of the best to ever do it.

Well Draymond was fined last time he was on the show. Lol I think it was like $35,000 if I remember correctly. It was earlier in the bubble before the playoffs. Both Chuck and Kenny were scheduled for dayoffs so Draymond stepped up to fill in.

Said by the man who teamed up with: Anfernee Hardaway Kobe Bryant Dwayne Wade Steve Nash LeBron James Botons' big 3

You do know his career was going downhill when he played with the Celtics, Lebron, even with the heat he was on a steady decline from not taking care of his body so actually he was chasing money they were paying him good also why he went to the suns

@@noface2284 Not saying money wasn't a factor. But how could guys who left their original teams for better ones tell Giannis to stay in Milwaukee. Chuck left the Sixers for the Suns. Shaq left Orlando to play in LA.

@@realdeal3202 The max contract and structure wasnt in place when Shaq was playing.

I might not be a big fan of his personality still but he does fit well in the show. I personally also like Bones, Reggie, IT or Mchale. I clearly did not like Garnett on tv..

Agree, if Bradley Beal didn’t sign with the wizards him and Giannis will be great to trade Bledsoe and another player as they get better assets like a point guard such as cp3

I could see other people in his generations going to him. Anyone above him ain’t going to the Bucks

@@kevinbernard3297 they ain't really saying "don't leave Milwaukee" they just wanna say "don't team up with other superstars and take the easy way out".

@@brdolivadar Make sure he's not using his platform to recruit a player or push him in a decision for join GSW. Tampering is not allowed on their shows when an active player is a guest pundit.

@@robderp Fresh off the plane from Miami 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s a little different in the 90s than now. He was saying that with social media, player owning homes in multiple cities/countries etc, that being in a major media market is no longer necessary for celebrity/fame (and the financial opportunities fame opens up). Look at Lebron’s first stint in Cleveland as an example, he was still the most famous player in the world. Shaq was always destined to be a celebrity/entertainer so him going to Hollywood or New York would have always made sense for him in the age before social media.

@@gajayjay what are you going on about? Stop putting words in his mouth. Shaq said what he said. And he left money on the table in his career.

@Mason Albert dude its a freaking RU-vid comment, not a Harvard dissertation. One doesn't need to be a graduate of the London School of Economics to point out Shaq's hypocrisy. Your Saturdays must be so fun, I bet

He got paid on the down low with extra incentives in LA anyway

Definitely its a joke. They cause a lot of trouble

I Hate ESPN

Kwame was right

Did LeBron ever admitted he took the easy way as well?

Zando Lee The Miami 3 wasn’t an easy way out there were all time great teams during their run. The KD warriors had no competition in the finals against those cavs teams and if KD was with them vs Toronto they win by sweep. Teaming up to create a great team is one thing, joining a 73 win team that you blew a 3-1 lead to is not even comparable stop it.

@@Eddiefkndiff I disagree with KD Toronto would have been swept and LBJ going to Miami was to form a super team, he was not going to win in Cleveland his first time around. In his second stint the Cavs brought in supporting players.

@@Eddiefkndiff it was an easy way out for LeBron, stop it. Instead of grinding it in Cleveland he left to join his friends, Wade and Bosh, in Miami.

@@Eddiefkndiff Lol 2017 cavs team was just as stacked as anyone who could challenge for the titles. Get your facts right. Kd vs Bron Steph vs Kyrie Klay vs JR(he was still a sharpshooter back then) Dray vs Kev Both teams had solid role players too. Cavs got Korver, D-will, Shumpert.. It was a fair, well-matched up fight between 2 great teams.

@Anthony Mercado Giannis is not even close to the offensive player Steph is. Steph is the most impactful OFFENSIVE player in history. Giannis obviously benefits from his dimensions that Steph doesn't possess. But no one would take Giannis now over prime Steph.

Giannis needs to work out with Hakeem

@@faisalamalo3695 True stuff. Or Kareem also. Think about Giannis with a shyhook. And he might be able to do it, as athletic and long as he is

He's the better than everyone on the heat

Giannis needs to get better, yes. It's a crime to be as big as he is and not have any kind of post up game. With his height, a solid midrange jumper would give him an advantage over most defenders. He needs to be able to hit perimeter shots too, so that when teams clog up the paint and he can't drive to the basket, he can still score. He has to adjust to half court basketball if he wants to beat cohesive defensive units like the Heat and the Raptors in the playoffs. The Bucks need to be better too. Middleton has to be consistent in the playoffs and become that legitimate second star. Bledsoe is a good player, but he's not worth that contract and he can't shoot. They need a point guard who can efficiently run the offense, knock down shots and provide floor spacing- especially when the focal point of the offense isn't a great shooter. Brogdon would have been a better choice.

He’s to young right now to be worrying about joining a stacked team and ring chasing, get that big contract, see what ownership brings to you, then decide to leave after

Kenny wasn’t when he called Giannis the best player in the world

Isn't Giannis 1 of only 3 to win both MVP and DPOY with him and MJ?

Brandon Curtis he but that adds more to the sting because giannis team got bounced out the second round. I’m pretty sure mj won the championship the year he got both awards

@@antoniowombdiska3073 that was 88 MJ was still 3 years away from his first

*Starr Playa Entertainment* TM dang I didn’t know the exact timeline thanks for correcting me

@@antoniowombdiska3073 Nope, Jordan lost in the 2nd round the year he won MVP and DPOY. Olajuwon is the only player to win MVP, DPOY, and Finals MVP (and a championship) in the same year.

idk why it's funny but it is!

Lebron got knocked out in the 2nd round in 2010 as an MVP. MJ won both DPOY and MVP and got bounced in 88 2nd round

At least he didn’t win MVP and lose to a #8 seed in the first round like Dirk did in 2007.

Russel Westbrook won MVP and lost in the first round in 2017.

Taylor Nickels poor Dirk

Yeah they shouldn't have lost to Miami especially so soon. They just fall short come playoffs. Having the best record all season is great but they need to step it up come playoffs. The bucks need 1 more good player i feel

Well spoken, I don’t get how people are not understanding regular season mvp.

@Alex Ruiz this make people feel wierd.

@Alex Ruiz Not sure about that. The NBA has been giving reg season MVP trophies late in the playoffs for decades. Though i agree with u that they should cast and tally the votes earlier and then announce it after the season is over.

i still think it's the heat who win this time... jimmy buckets wins the fmvp...

I agree with everything until I read Middleton not a top 20 player during the regular season. He was cooking and even scored 50.

I don't agree. Lebron put high expectations on himself. He never denied he was "the chosen one " and he went on record multiple times, including his first 8 years with CLE , that he was chasing Jordan. He set that standard upon himself so now when he accomplishes something it is never seen as great because it's nothing beyond MJ. Lebron didn't even leave CLE cuz he wanted to, they just had terrible management and coaching and he wanted a better organization, which was MIA at the time. But holding great players to a standard of elevating themselves isn't wrong. Lebron is the best version of himself right now. Giannis has more to go and he should get better to increase his chances.

The expectations are too much when for the most part, all other prospects burn out

👀 👀 if Giannis elevates his game, that would be such a great addition

Imagine all the lobs CP3 would be throwing to Giannis!

I agree, Bledsoe is too inconsistent during the playoffs and CP would defo take the spotlight away from Giannis.

@@1987benhur cp3 is about to retire tho only a few more seasons and his gone. I wish he gets another teammate like deandre back when he was in the clippers I want that lob action.

Making that salary line up close for a trade is going to be the problem. OKC doesn’t want to be saddled with Bledsoe, not with the analytics saying the 30yr old is on his way down, and down hard. projects.fivethirtyeight.com/2020-nba-player-projections/eric-bledsoe/

Early? No just building for when he does

Shiid why not? He already a champ! Preserve your body and get that easy bread now. All you gotta do is apeak a bout a game you know very well

If the Warriors don't get Giannis, he'll be joining the desk full time.

Nahhh..., that's a great platform for his team to get a marque free agent players (tempering or not)

That's ALREADY tampering

What? I thought mj is this god like that never underperformed and that he is the greatest person in the entire universe averaging 100 50 30 20 and 10

@@tehemister042 you thought wrong

@@atipsy69 nah i knew the truth just mj stans said and thought that

@Shahrukh Mushtaq in golf maybe

Jordan averaged 27.4 for that series...not his best playoff series performance ever but averaging almost 30 points isn't exactly underperforming either. Anyone who watched that series would remember that the Jordan Rules were heavily enforced, that man was flat out abused in that series. I remember watching it...it was horrible. I don't know how he even averaged what he did. It was brutal. In 88, Jordan was still very slim, he had to put on some muscle after that. Chuck Daly knew if you limit Jordan from going off for 40 plus a night, the Bulls would crumble. Jordan was phenomenal in the regular season. The regular season isn't the playoffs. Great coaches will plan for teams too dependant on one transcendent player a la Milwaukee with Giannis. That's why they eventually had to move on from Doug Collins to Phil and the triangle offense because as great as Jordan was, in the playoffs, coaching really comes into play, you have to have ball movement and have to be able to make adjustments for when teams try to key in on stopping your superstar. Giannis needs a better coach who's better at playing playoff chess.

Klay Thompson? Yawp Splash Bros? Yawp Cavaliers? Nope We won? Yawp They Lost? Yawp We here? Yawp They not? Nope Giannis winning is a problem? Nope

The only reason why Bucks won was because all the best teams not injured (Nets, Lakers, Clippers)

It's done!)

Gotta add myself here because I want to see what the haters gotta say :)

Isam El-hussein but not every team has some guys to stop him, like the magic

because they weren't humble. That's all.

Clippers lost cuz it was rigged. 2k21 already lets you know. Kawhi and pg rigged it for kobe. They combined for 24 points 8 assist and 10 (usa) rebounds. Its rigged for kobe. He was sacrificed

Yeah he's 25 and I think he can stay where he is and bring players to Milwaukee but how long will that window be open to win the title? Unless you're a generational player who everyone knows will be at the top for 10 plus years, nobody knows tomorrow. It is that uncertainty that creates pressure to get one while you're still on top. Or make sure you're on top for a long time so you have many chances to win.

You mean Stephs team...

Of course he is

Lol

Yes, it would have been LESS awkward...

And should take in consideration that stats aren't everything 😒

No it’s not a regular season award there’s nothing stipulating that it’s a regular season award they just gave the award before the playoffs started and it just shaped into being a regular season award but there nothing in the rules saying MVP is a regular season award

Brons the clear cut MVP but they just hate giving it to him
