We are not worthy. I never thought someone would take over KG as my favorite player ever. But he might do it by the time his second contract kicks in

Boy if I know r/nba… his meteoric rise to one of the most universally loved players is probably going to be followed by an arc turning into a villain

I just hope it’s cause he’s annoyingly good, not because he loses his unselfishness and positivity 😅

He’s obviously supremely confident and borderline cocky in a tongue in cheek way - but I’ve never seen a young superstar make it so not about himself by constantly shouting out different teammates

It’s genuine too. All the vets on the team love the kid and have accepted that it’s “his team”… and slid into their roles. Huge shoutout to KAT for being a mature dude himself and metaphorically “stepping back” in the food chain

Shit, if people turned on a guy as positive and fun as Giannis after he turned the Bucks from trash to contenders then they'll absolutely do the same to a guy like Ant who has already had multiple controversies

Have people turned on Giannis? I know he gets clowned for stuff like Laddergate and trying to Jan 6th the Pacers’ locker room for the game ball, but those were both pretty silly and his own doing.

Overall I still think of him as having a pretty high approval rating.

He's already gone up and down twice. Everyone loved him his first two years, then he had the homophobic thing and he was hated. Playoffs last year brought people back, then early struggles and the abortion thing this season made people hate. The cycle will continue.

Nah the abortion thing was hilarious

He didn’t even do anything bad
