NBA
Giannis Antitokoumbo (is not) the Anti-LeBron
Adam Silver admitted he’s not ready to talk about the NBA era after LeBron James and Vassilis Skountis offered him the public’s help.
Nikos Kourkoulos, posing as Angelos Kreouzis in the movie Visibility Zero, exclaimed “No more coal“and those who are tired of talking about Antetokunbo can distort this cinematic attack…
No more John!
I don’t take Pritz anyway!
In fact, I got plenty of cans of Giannis and all that Antetokunbeikos clam in Cleveland, so I saved fat for those already cold winter nights!
Hilarious fun, as graphic and cliche as it sounds, in this basketball adaptation of the film “Rocco and his brothers», Giannis, Thanasis and Alexandros provided the warmth needed in the cold, Agias and snow of…enchanting Cleveland!
E no and just find Giannaki’s in-laws!
In the town called “Error by the Lake,” Giannis was far from wrong…
Of course he made a mistake for which he has apologized: I mean the cap on Chris Middleton which I don’t think has done him any harm nor is he in danger the consortium as they have agreed since last year with the prospect of ruining Greek Freak’s son marries his daughter Khash!
Go down, then…
Below is Adam Silver’s extremely intriguing admission that he says he doesn’t feel ready to talk about the post-LeBron era.
who burns in Jordan’s pulp, It also blows on LeBron’s yogurt
Don’t let the NBA Commissioner gallop because his predecessor has been in the same predicament three times!
Literally because the late David Stern was mare pro Terra looking for the next Michael Jordan when Autos Aerotis retired…
Unlike King James, who will be retiring from the stage once and for all, Jordan made it a hobby and still made the departures: one in October 1993, one in June 1998 after “Last Dance,” and a third and Apothecary in April 2003!
All three times, not only the NBA, but the entire American sports ecosystem was looking for a successor, whom he did not name directly, but photographed several times, anointed him and blessed him informally and informally.
That was none other than the late Kobe Bryant!
The contain Jordanesken
I remember well the premise that had conquered the market at that time or all three seasons, apart from the fact that a name of the possible successor was launched ad hoc …
All these dolphins were called “Jordanesques”!
These… Jordanoids, the nameless man’s potential descendants, marched off the stage and everyone made fun of him, but Stern smelled one and the other stink!
At one point, Allen Iverson seemed to have the lead, but he made bad friends, wore loose clothing, and looked marginal and…dirty!
Kobe Bryant, Grand Hill, Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, Shaquille O’Neal were also at Jordan’s door…
Shaq was rejected outright because for some reason there was a cliche: the next Jordan was about to be a Guardian!
Jordan closest to Kobe!
As a non-Jordanian, I confess that I did not feel overwhelmed by exaggeration and sacrilege with what I wrote on January 22, 2006 when Black Mamba scored 81 points in the Lakers vs. Raptors game…
Jordan is closest to Bryant!
16 years have passed since then, Jordan is now the owner of the Hornets, Kobe plays alone with Gigi on the paradise courts and LeBron is waiting to play a season with his son and retire …
LeBron, Menegin and τού Kontoudis!
repelled?
Egocentric?
Maybe yes, maybe no, after all he is neither the first nor the last to want to do it: it happened to Dino and Andrea Menegin, it happened to us on a lower level (Panerithraikos) with Papa Stelios and son Manos Kontoudis too!
Sooner or later, LeBron will be leaving and all kinds of LeBronesques will be running after him!
Silver said he doesn’t feel ready to say, much less predict, how the day will follow the night of the current NBA superstar’s departure, but if he feels he needs public help, I am I here to offer them to him!
Basically, here’s John!
Giannakis in his role Chosen A
Of course how much Giannakis is cut, groomed and stressed out by this case and if and to what extent Chosen One will be as Sports Illustrated described LeBron on his prophetic cover while he was still playing on his high school team!
The property of!
At the close of Scripture it matters not who is baptized, but who shall prove so…
As is well known, in 324 B.C. when Alexander the Great blew the whistle, asked who would herald him as his successor and wield the ring of his power…
He gave him a sybilistic answer…
The extra and the crater
Because I think they are the most powerful!
One of the dolphins named Crater claimed that Alexander the Great didn’t say stop, he said Crater, but in any case, where he closed his eyes, the infamous War of the Descendants began.
I don’t know if LeBron will call him γίνει instead, or let him cook and not mistake it for γίνει
Obviously he won’t say who he thinks is the most suitable, after all there are some players willing, determined and able to fit into his shoes…
Am I Lord (LeBron)?
You can dry yourself at… Jacob’s secret supper, beg for the ring, and ask the same anxious question Jesus heard from his disciples when he testified that someone would betray him…
«is it me sir»;
Of course, this isn’t just about the basketball talent that Panagathos is endowed with… any of them.
In such cases, the character, the personality, the captain and everything related to it are also responsible.
The world, and Americans in particular, loves comparison, contrast, controversy, and follow-up games, so it’s mathematically certain that LeBron started having bad luck before he could salute!
Durand, Carrie and the Ghetto
Kevin Durand and Steve Carey are older than John and have another comparative advantage over him: They are Anadam Papadam Americans!
I don’t know if and to what extent an ecosystem that has been a barren haven and more or less a ghetto (in terms of non-American player entry) for almost half a century would be receptive to a handover of power to John.
Basically, I don’t know if and to what extent the Greek-born Greek citizen himself and the son of Nigerian immigrants rush into this journey.
The requirements of John
There’s no question he’s got that package: he’s six years younger than Carrie and Durand and has amassed all the titles that prove the makings of the next LeBron.
By the way, James is very fond of him, he often praises him, he recently voted him #1 in the draft for his team’s cast in the All-Star Game, and acknowledges that he always plays hard and is committed to the game…
In addition, Giannis is popular throughout the basketball field, he has not opened quarrels and vendettas, he does not occupy public opinion with personal and family scandals, and after nine years he is not persona non grata in any stadium …
Only his shots spoil the sugar!
The most negative and awkward thing that happens to him is the lukewarm disapproval and counting down the seconds he takes the free throws late!
Coming back to what I wrote earlier: I don’t know and I’m not sure he’ll give a dime for this case.
John stays humble and unassuming to get in line, after all, if fate dictates he’ll be the NBA’s next “central figure,” no problem.
It will be a price that has no price, and if it is put up for sale, it will buy it!
He will buy it by doing his best, knowing full well that this award is not given, not inherited and not given aristocratically.
The Werewolf and the Records
Right now it’s all an endless ichthyology on the occasion of Adam Silver’s confession yesterday.
At the tender age of 37 years and two months, LeBron certainly isn’t considered a werewolf, but he seems untouched by pandemonium, he’s going through one of the best seasons of his career, he’s breaking record after record and nobody shakes him!
That’s exactly what the NBA commissioner said, explaining that his embarrassment and unpreparedness to bring the issue up had to do with how LeBron is playing.
I deliberately saved Giannis’s own conversations on this topic for last.
In late November 2020, he shared with us his thoughts on awards, accolades, and awards in an interview with Cosmote TV.
“I know I’m ruining her pasta”!
“Yes, sometimes I feel like I’m ruining the nerves of celebrated NBA players. I am a child who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and that is not easily accepted. I feel blessed, not because I’ve been named MVP twice (SS: he hasn’t been crowned champion yet), but simply because I’m making the same proposal as LeBron, Durand, Harden. guys can i tell you something I started my career at Philathlitikos with coach Takis Zivas and my teammates Gikas, Saloustros, Kamberidis and Samothrakis. So where and how can I get upset if LeBron or anyone else comes out as an MVP?“
And he continued on the same wavelength: “Personally, I would vote for LeBron as MVP first and then for Luke. LeBron brings out my most competitive self. I want to beat him, he’s the best in the world at the moment I say. The day I’ll be the best, I’ll go out and say it. Okay, I might not do it, but you’ll understand. This is my role model now. He’s been in this business 17 years and you’ve never heard a bad thing about LeBron. He’s doing his job, he’s winning all the time, he’s trying to win and he’s just competitive“.
“I can’t and I don’t want to to be the face of the NBA”
Eight months later, Giannis returned to Athens as the NBA champion and was asked at the press conference at Eleftherios Venizelos airport whether he minds the traces he leaves behind in terms of backwardness or vanity.
His answer was clear…
“I’m not the face of the NBA and I don’t want to be. After LeBron, that title will go to Durand or Harden. I want to do my job, go home and see my kids. I can’t and don’t want to be the face of the NBA, after all I’m not an American“!
