Right Giannis can get mad an I understand his frustration, but if your the 1 seed and lose in the 1st round to the 8th and only win 1 game at that. SORRY Greek Freak. That’s a failure. T up an come back better next year
Much respect to Giannis. You could tell he restrained himself a lot right there with his answer while being insightful about whether this season was a failure or not. If it's possible to call someone out while being respectful, Giannis just did it!

Salute to Giannis man a real inspiration to me and many others👏🏾even in a frustrating situation he responds respectfully. Keep your head up young king you know what you do for your people and the world💯
I'm not a Giannis fan, but I have to agree with his response. Losing is only a failure if the team is broken up. If you come back, improve and win, then it's a learning experience to do better later
@@AustinMulkaMusic yeah but Lebron sucks cause he “only won 4” but going to the finals 10 times is literally insane. I just feel like people don’t get how much luck goes into it
This is such a great response not just for basketball but life. The reality of the situation is no matter how good you are only one team out of 30 can win it all. The Bucks did great things this year and while this series was an epic collapse it isn’t a failure on the season as a whole.
This speech from the heart to me is more important and impactful than 10 championships......its legit made me rethink my definition of failing because I usually feel like one when I can't excel more.
As a Celtics fan, Giannas is still one of my favorite players to watch me the guy is amazing off the court. This man does not deserve any of the hate he gets
Agreed. The only hatred I have for him is when my team plays against him, because of the beast that he is on court lol but got nothing but true respect for him as a person. Which I find is becoming more of a rare thing to feel with pro athletes nowadays.
@@MrSilus2000what headline? He does it every game, no matter what team you watch. The problem is that he stopped talking to media once Lebron chirped back
That “I don’t wanna make it personal” just shows how giannis be a savage and a normal person at the same time. I love this king man Eric better get the promotion if he wanna ask tbst shit next year 😂😂😂😂
Respect!! You can understand that statement doing anything in this world at any job. But, playing sports helps you understand there is always another day. You don’t succeed everyday! You go back game plan and do something another way to try and be successful. That was great to hear!
@@shaheedharun445 Sometimes people just need the word “consideration”. It’s totally free. Asking a tired player, who were just been eliminated, a question like that?, that reporter deserves a punch. What he supposed to do? Tell the world that losing is a failure?

GA’s answer simply could’ve skipped the attitude.. but I get it you’re coming off a tough loss, your season just ended! No one did any wrong here. The reporter’s job is to probe the feelings of Giannis after a tough loss and get an honest, well-thought out response.

He and Giannis will be back being friends tomorrow and it will only further motivate him
I love how y’all posted the entirety of that situation! You don’t cut it after Giannis made it personal! You let him finish his thought a show the whole story! I love it!
Thats my boy Guannis Milwaukee did what a lot of nba teams can dream about soo hopefully In couple years they would bounce back, because of this guy and all Bucks team everyone knows Milwaukee and Wisconsin soo we cannot be more proud.
They Won a Championship 2 Years ago.. It was Steps to get to that. Good Mindset to have. Trust the Process & keep taking Steps.. THIS Season was a BUST but theyll be Back & Do Better Next Year for sure..
I'm not an NBA fan...maybe I should be. This is truly one of the most honest and profound things I have ever heard an athlete say. His story is incredible and improbable. His skill on the court are only exceeded by his passion, his heart and his excellence as a man and as a human being.
I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. -MJ
This is just motivational for daily life. There may be hard/bad days, but it’s not a bad life. Make the most of everything. Sucks to see the bucks out, Miami played like they wanted a championship. Happy that Greek freak was able to play another one last game !
A total failure for the season base on expectation, a 1# seed lost to a short handed 8 seed, especially getting eliminated first round in 5 game. But NOT a failure in term of his playing career since he already won a chip. Lmao
What’s more short handed than Giannis falling on his back? Miami still had their core every game. That being said the bucks and coach choked the last 5 minutes of the game.
@Stephen Hill Herro is a 20pts guy he aint no chump, Olidipo is a 11pts guy he's also not a total bench warmer, let admitted, the buck choke, they had Giannis for game 4, 5 and lost. They got to cocky thinking heat will be a push over and got cook by Jimmy bucket. Lol Giannis couldve try to play it game 3.
What an incredibly intelligent and mature response, I don't watch NBA after Seattle got robbed of a team but I would be a very proud fan to watch this guy ball out on the court.
I know damn well Giannis remembered that reporter and saw him and thought “I swear if he asks me that shit again” lmao just by that initial response, he already called it
Not sure where you get "Heated" from this interaction. His response actually felt very measured and eloquent, especially given English is not his first language
Gotta love Giannis passion
Fax
Still choked
Nah, hes in the first stage of grief, denial. He definitely failed
Passion for missing free throws? This is a top 100 player ever?!?? LOL NO F"ING WAY!
What a choke job by the bucks in game 5
All I know is... Next years playoffs, Eric better not dare ask this man the same question 3 Years in a row.😂
Now he has to
I mean if they're gonna be 1st seed again losing to an 8th seed
He can ask anything he wants

He needs to come up with a postgame and a mid range if he wanna win another championship cuz defenses are just sagging him or drawing charges
You can tell that to their coach. Did not get any proper adjustments. Now they're going to think of him(Giannis) as a choker.
