Bro I just wanna say something, as a long time Bucks fan, We have SUCKED for years, and then this Giannis Antetokounmpo guy came along and he changed our franchise forever, he won us 2 MVPs, All Star game MVP, Most Improved Player, Finals MVP, and most importantly, an NBA championship, so I just want to say Thank you Giannis, before it’s too late. 🙏🏼

Agreed 100%. He honestly changed downtown Milwaukee. I will buy a full page in the paper to thank him before he leaves.

[@SpongeMann]

Never really had a favourite and if you asked me a year ago “who is your favourite player?” I’d probably say Michael Jordan but now its Giannis

[@sellianos]

I really loved your Message. Now imagine this: this guy did not only changed your city,Milwaukee, but he changed a whole country, my country Greece. Giving hope to thousands of Greek kids and kids from immigrant families, to believe in the dream and to fight for it. This is his biggest legacy that transcends basketball, and goes beyond the imaginable.

[@jiffyboi254]

How tf did u not know him

[@spongeaang98]

The 1960's had Russell. The 1970's had Kareem. The 1980's had Magic. The 1990's had MJ. The 2000's had Kobe. The 2010's had LeBron. By the projection of his career, the 2020's will belong to Giannis. *EDIT*: As of writing this comment, Giannis now is a 2x MVP, Defensive Player of the Year, All-Star MVP and an NBA champion/Finals MVP. All at 26, before reaching his prime. He has arrived. A new legend awaits.

[@jhinabloomingflower807]

@@spongeaang98 bro what harden took them from the 12th seed to the 4th and took the warriors to 6 games, gannis had an allstar teammate and hes in the east, gannis would have been swept by the warriors...

[@spongeaang98]

@@NoLimits316 That probably had more to do with coaching adjustments than anything else, because they lost two good defenders. Harden was still leading in turnovers and barely winning games despite dropping 40-50 a night. That's a good performance individually but that's not winning basketball. Even Kobe acknowledged this and said from experience scoring like that wouldn't do anything for the team.
