Why Jesus does this guy have a job???? No one on earth at least not out was comparing Middleton to Jordan. Giannis literally averaged 35.2 points per game and dropped 50 in the closing game.
Kendrick Perkins says Giannis wonāt win another championship as the Number 1 option, and says Middleton reached Michael Jordan levels during their run:
āGiannis Antetokounmpo will never win another championship with him being the number 1 scoring option. I stand on that. Those days are overā¦. People forget that money making Middleton was one of the best closers in the damn game of basketball! He was touching conversations with Jordan!ā
Skip Bayless believes Giannis is going to Miami to āsemi retireā:
āI believe deep down that Giannis wanted to go to South Beach because effectively, heās going to semi retire in South Beach. I think ultimately heāll be viewed given this was a blockbuster trade, heāll be viewed as not living up to his end of the bargain. He will ultimately be viewed maybe not as a failure in Miami, but viewed as a let down.ā

Tyler Herro survived a lot of trade rumors before this one. But through it all, he remained professional and grew into an All-Star caliber player. Herro deserves some love and appreciation on the way out. Now, Herro gets to play for his hometown team.
No former NBA, or even high level college player should be taking up space in media to just feed the hot take machine.
Itās such a waste of insight and experience
Patrick Beverley explains why James Harden is better than Dwyane Wade
"If we were in a gym... yāall picking D-Wade first before James Harden?"

Yeah Iām assuming itās difference in approach within the organization too.
Spo has shown he doesnāt need a superstar to be successful, and in the rare times heās had a team of really good, experienced players down the roster, they were contenders
@KennySpenceNBA The part about you saying they have arguably the best scouting and development staffs in the NBA makes it even more crazy that they continue to have the āletās get a whaleā strategy even though itās not worked in years at this point

āVictim Wembanyamaā is Skipās best work.
Kenyon Martin GOES IN on Becky Hammon for her Jalen Brunson comment:
Kenyon Martin: First and foremost why do we pay attention to anything Becky Hammon has to say let's start there who cares what Becky Hammon has to say. Let her stick on that side of basketball. Iām deadass like why would he pay attention to anything she has to say?
Skip Bayless: She was Gregg Popovich first assistant coach
Kenyon Martin: I don't care... don't get me started on that there's plenty of other people that could've been sitting on that seat
