    The context being he only said those "compliments" to Kemba Walker to (incorrectly) contrast James Harden.

    You're being obtuse. Fair enough. I get he's a darling. It is what it is.

    You posted a CNN article where on their main graphic they had at the top of the article that showed examples of "abusive behavior" showed a Twitter reply that said "coward" as an example.

    You shift goal posts all the time on this manner.

    He's Shaq 2.0 all he can do is dunk. That's why he has 0 points in the 4th.

    You're pathetic chow

    This all started with his dig at Harden when they were picking players. Like was what he said about Harden even necessary or even factual? Regardless of his intent, bottom line, it was a personal attack at Harden because I don't recall he made any other comments about players he was drafting or not drafting.

    So either he's very ignorant about what's coming out of his mouth (which is a possibility considering he's 25) or he knows exactly what he's saying and has some level of animosity towards Harden. Like, you don't want to pick Harden? Cool, make your pick and move on.

    I am not. Just telling you that if you speak in another language it is very common to say things that can be taken as jabs.

    In fact I hope this becomes a big deal with people calling him out so he learns to watch his mouth more and not be so blunt.

    I dont like bullies or people who say embarassing things about others.
    I am not a fan of rivalries outside of the court.

    So you are just gonna ignore that the NBA made a rule because Kobe kicked his leg out on every jump shot.

    Typical.

    lmao

    How can "I want a player who passes the ball unlike James Harden" then laughing about it be taken any other way than a jab at James Harden not passing the ball?

    Agreed. You think because I am a Bucks fan I condone this behaviour, no.
    But I know that at least the post game interview was just stupid bluntness as per usual, and the tv comment is very possible to be unintentional.

    However I definitely not like this and hope he learns from this. So far since he became a star he has only faced adoration and very little critisism so it will be nice to face it now and understand that being blunt can hurt others.

    Unfortunately the target now is Harden who is hated by the media so its hard to see them critisizing him for it.

    Are you confusing Kobe with Reggie Miller?

    Do you have anything else to say with the resort my statements.

    I am sorry did he say unlike James Harden? Because if so I missed it.

    It came down to Kemba or James in the all star picks.

    Chuck then says something like “What, you don’t want the dribbler(Harden)?”

    Giannis laughs and then said “no I want someone who will pass.”

    Then had the backhanded comment of “ I’m going to go with the step back king......Kemba Walker”

    Yeah Giannis isn't afraid to guard anyone.... that is the best part of his game.

    His issue will be on the other side of the floor when he gets a double if his teammates don't hit shots.

    He is still improving offensively but has some real trouble when the defensive attention is all on him.

    Well now you are moving goal posts because it's specifically called the Reggie Miller rule when you specifically claimed it was Kobe who changed the rule.

    I watched the last 5 minutes on youtube. They did attack Harden, but Siakim didn’t score on him once. *shrug* Harden was more of a factor than Giannis in what I saw.

    Was the whole game this competitive? I may start watching them again if so.

    oh then it was a jab, no way around it.

    However the post game interview isn't.
    It wasnt HIS idea to go after Harden in the post, it was the coach and as usual in post game interviews he explains the teams strategy to the media *shrug*

    I mean if you want to believe otherwise thats okay however there are too many examples that prove otherwise.
