Giannis does his best Ricky Davis impression…

LeonfromNC · 03-06-2023, 09:51 AM

I love Giannis but cmon man. You can’t do that.

He was one rebound short of a triple double and with the game in hand he dribble the ball down the court to his own goal uncontested and threw the ball off the bottom of the backboard to secure his 10th rebound and triple double.

Not a good look.

Giannis of of the good guys that plays hard on both ends and seems to have respect for the game, so I give him a pass on this one. Definitely not a good look though and it will give the pundits a topic to fill the airwaves up for part of the day.

IMO it could be much worse. He could be showing off a firearm on social media.

NeedChapmans · 03-06-2023, 10:20 AM

He's clearly embarassed by it because it does it so casually ... but still wants it. The worst part of this whole thing is that he knows he has 9 rebounds; focused on the wrong things.

Emulation is the sincerest form of flattery. Looks like Jokic is what everyone wants to be.

I've got no problem with it

Exactly my thought. Let’s see if dumb*ss Kendrick Perkins goes after Giannis for stats padding.

Giannis is GOAT yesterday to the betters who had a triple double prop on him though!

ninjabum87 · 03-06-2023, 11:29 AM

Ey man leave that boy alone. He's merely day trading and swapping some of his FG% portfolio for REB. Last time I checked that ain't illegal.

Luni · 03-06-2023, 11:38 AM

What's with all this Jokic talk? Like players haven't wanted triple doubles until he came around...

rustywest · 03-06-2023, 11:41 AM

Lets all be honest now... no one really gives a sh*t. But if Russell Westbrook pulled this manoeuvre? Avalanche of fake outrage ensues

HoodaBest2k20 · 03-06-2023, 11:42 AM

Who cares? It didn’t effect the game and he was 1 away from triple double.

Dude has no offensive moves which is profoundly shocking after this many years in the L.

He just lowers his shoulder and runs into dudes and prays he gets the superstar calls, which he almost always does.

Until Embiid stoned him in the 4th Q. Again.

How many MVPs and Titles does Embiid have again?

Sixers and Embiid are going to lose early in the Playoffs. Again.

"The league has rescinded Giannis Antetokounmpo's 10th rebound last night--and thus his triple-double, sources tell ESPN. League rules say that for a field-goal attempt to count as official, the player has to shoot "with intent to score a field-goal" -- i.e. to make the shot."

Was just about to post this. Don't care one way or the other about what Giannis did.

I find this "rule" hilarious though since players try drawing fouls with no intentions on actually scoring the basket. Likewise, players that intentionally miss free throws in late/close game situations with no intent on making the free throw, but to get an offensive board for their team to have a chance at getting 2 or 3 points instead of 1.

The guy's missed probably 3 seasons worth of games by this point anyway. Dude's built like clay pottery.

trolling the troll it's good stuff, so how will Harden's choke artistry and Embiid's injury artistry manifest this time around
