Dwyane Wade on not getting MVP in 2008:
“I am not taking that personally. By the way, I was up for defensive player of the year too. I don’t think people want to talk about that. Oh, nobody remembers I was too 3 in both? DOOY was Dwight, Kobe, and me. I’m 6’4!”

The Dan LeBatard Show FIRES BACK at Bill Simmons for calling Miami the biggest loser of the off-season:
“Miami acquired the best player (Giannis) to change teams this off-season…a player that Boston tried to get and because Miami got him — Boston is a laughing stock this summer…the entire league is laughing at the Celtics…”
“Don’t forget Boston blew a 3-1 lead to the 7th seed Sixers…they didn’t want to give up something called Hugo Gonzalez…at the end of the day you’re calling somebody a loser who beat you to get Giannis.”

Giannis Antetokounmpo believes the Miami Heat will make him a NBA champion again:
“I've accomplished a lot of things in my career but one of my goals is to win another championship. I feel like this is the best, you know, route for me to do that. I enjoy the challenge, I enjoy getting better — It was a no-brainer. I wanted to be here. I'm excited to be here, I just I want to get to work.”
We’re about to see the HUNGRIEST version of Giannis next season.
