If you watch Shai you can tell how transferable what he is doing in his goata workout is to his game on the court. He contours his body in ways that if he didn’t do this he would have acl and Achilles tears
OK, let’s talk about Jimmy Butler. I think the reason why he’s such a playoff riser is because his game is so unorthodox that teams are unprepared for it. He relies on contact and getting to the line.
Like a lot of other great forwards, he’s a matchup problem. Too big and strong for a guard, and two skilled and agile for a big. Unless you have guys like Giannis or Tatum, in a playoff setting, Jimmy will generally have his way.
His smarts, much like other great playoff risers like Hali or even LeBron, He’s very cerebral, he just sees and anticipates things before everybody else.
We saw this with Haliburton in both of his playoff runs and with LeBron in the 2018 run.
I can confirm, via Giannis associate, what Windy has been saying that Giannis "absolutely" wants to go to Heat. Excited about possibility; has been exploring life options in Miami. (Can't elaborate on that yet). BUT (and it's a big BUT), like with Lillard, it's not a case of Miami-and-absolutely nowhere else. In other words, there's NO indication that he will tell every other team that he wouldn't sign extension with any of them. There are believed to be a few other teams that he would sign an extension with, with Boston reportedly among them.
Lmao it’s sad seeing W fans be so impulsive they forget the hypocrisy in their tweets before hitting send..is it protect all black women in the W or just the ones you like?? 🤔👀😂
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been focused on playing for the Miami Heat, per @WindhorstESPN
“Talks have intensified over the last 7-10 days. He has focused on wanting to be a member of the Miami Heat.”
(Via @GetUpESPN / h/t @HeatCulture13 )
This is the same guy Brian Windhorst, who in the last offseason said Giannis requested a trade he wants to be a Knick and then he did Giannis didn’t request a trade so just shows you how reliable these people are as sources
Never trust anybody until it’s covered by the action actually happening. I remember everyone saying oh Dame wants to go to Miami. then he was traded the bucks so nobody really knows what these teams are doing behind the scenes.
