Middleton wasn't drafted by Milwaukee bruh. Middleton ain't make a all-star game til he was 27. Klay made it at 24. That's what you also leave out. You know your basketball but you can't make these comparisons then leave details out.
You would have a point if this was Jabari/ Giannis/Middleton but it's not.

It's not a diss on Giannis. I'm more commenting on how reactionary, hot takey, and in the moment everything is. You misinterpreted.
But it's a fact. If injuries didn't happen, the narrative would be Giannis isn't good enough, the Bucks wasted all those picks on Jrue, and Bud would actually have been fired. I'm not saying any of that is true, but that would be the narrative that would go on for months-years.

These aren’t 1:1 things. You’re smarter than that. Khris got drafted by Detroit in 2012…but spent almost no time there (20 sum games) and was a buck the same time Giannis got there in 2013. They spent 8 years growing together. It was dope how Giannis singled him out at the podium. Them guys grew together.
Khris is a 2X All star. A 50-40-90 guy on 20-5-5. He’s ahead of the curve accolades wise, as Klay was at the time of the 2015 Warriors first chip. But again, enough about this. I’m simply stating the team building parallels. It’s right there.
You will be calling this team 5 all stars/HOF when it’s convenient for you in some years to suit whatever narrative you want.
Team building. That’s the topic.

I think the media is making a little too much of this building of a winner angle. If KD doesn’t have $5 footlong feet the Bucks don’t get out of the conference semi’s. I see this team as Kawhi Raptors whom the stars aligned for at the perfect time. I do give Giannis props for overcoming his hyper extension, health is wealth.

butt cheeks when it matters?
Where do you guys get your information from?
Have you ever seen how pathetic kobe bryant was at clutch playoff shots?
Have you ever seen how pathetic kobe bryant was in elimination games?
Have you ever seen how pathetic kobe bryant was in game 7's?
Have you ever seen how pathetic kobe bryant was in the NBA Finals?
Have you ever seen how pathetic kobe bryant was in game 7 of the NBA Finals?
Where do you guys get your information from?
Y'all literally make up your own stats based on your heart's wishes.
Then when someone tells you that reality has more credibility than your heart's desire, you try to change the subject.
Grow up.
kobe bryant WAS BUTT CHEEKS WHEN IT MATTERED MOST.

Can someone tell me exactly what kobe bryant did in the Finals that makes you guys hold him in such high regard?
He didn't score a bunch of points.
He didn't shoot even a halfway-decent percentage.
He didn't get triple-doubles.
WHAT DID HE DO BESIDES GET CARRIED TO FREE RINGS?
How come you guys don't put guys like Robert Horry, Draymond Green, Javale McGee and Patrick McCaw in the same category? Did they not also get carried to free rings?
Lying-*** weirdos.

Some of you guys have sick fetishes about Steph and Kobe. One dude didn’t even play this postseason and the other isn’t even alive anymore (RIP). It’s borderline sociopathic.
Was this the first non-super team title since Dirk in 2011? Or are we counting the 2014 Spurs, 2019 Raptors and potentially the 2020 Lakers?

mark cuban that u?
I agree with the idea that Giannis not growing up in the AAU, "team up", culture common in US basketball does shape his mentality. Not an indictment on American basketball players, just saying that Giannis has a different perspective

Super team is such a weird, loaded term IMO. Is it about the talent on the roster at the time or how the roster was constructed? Is it about how many all-star level players a team has or how they were acquired?
The 2020 Lakers third best player was KCP, no way they were super team. The won in the Kobe and Shaq model with two top five players and good role players
2019 Raptors certainly work a super team, just a well-balanced roster with one superstar.
The 2014 Spurs certainly weren't a super team. They really didn't have a single superstar. Probably the most balanced team I've ever seen. Relying on continuity, ball movement and coaching. Beautiful basketball.
Even if you look at the 2013 Heat, you'll see that they really weren't a super team. Chris Bosh was a role player by this time and only averaged 12 ppg.

Crazy that once Phoenix played a team that wasn't decimated by injuries, they get washed. Interesting
The Suns celebrating winning the West like they won the Finals really didn't sit well with me. Glad Milwaukee won
Chris Paul has got to be sick. Everything went their way this season. Even throughout the regular season, Phoenix had ridiculous, outlier injury look
Every team they played in the playoffs was decimated by injuries and they had a 2-0 lead in the Finals with home court advantage and they still blew it. You hate to see it
