Gotta love Giannis passion
Hell of an answer. Even Ted Lasso could learn something from Giannis.
This is an embarrassing response. No idea why everyone is defending giannis.
I don't understand why people defending giannis over this failure topic. Just don't over complicate things. Bucks are the 1st seed and lose to an 8th seed and that's a failure for this season. Oh and Jordan never lose to an 8th seed so it's a bad take and example for giannis.
Eric wylin bro!! 😭😅
This was FAR from "heated". He was calm and poignant, clear and empathetic. He explained the lessons of life, stoically.
Chatgpt can´t figure out such a precise and eloquent answer.
y’all slurping this man so much if another player said some dumb shit like this it would’ve been different
fantastic answer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Legendary response!
More than player, a great citizen.
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!
Great answer 👏
After finally hearing the whole quote, with full context, I’m honestly in agreement with him.
In sports, everyone is always a winner.
🚀
Failed like a mfer 😂
Grande Giannis…
👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻
He's only human man…..he's not a robot…there's only so much a guy who's been dedicated to him team can do….they don't realize that
There can only be 1 team out of 16 in the playoffs that can win a championship. You win some, you lose some. Simple as that.
💚
You win or you lose not everyone gets a trophy. In pro sports only one team is the champion the rest are failures
Eric next year…
Once is chance, twice is coincidence, third time's a pattern.
Great , great , super great anwser. Reporter always asking stupid question .
Giannis is a nice & humble soul. His response is so passionate and elegant. I have a lot of respect for him.
But he's dead wrong. Bro is literally saying there's no such thing as a failure in sports, which is absurd. If Lebron said this, he would be crucified. It's not the message, it's the messenger everyone is in love with.
You lost to an 8th seed based on poor execution. Miami has had the Bucks number for the last few years. This season is a failure.
Losing in the first round in five games as the 1 seed is a failure. I love Giannis but WAKE UP
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 !
Mediocre answer, mediocre player
Did they asked Buddenhoser that same dumb azz question?
I understand Giannis's response but it's a failure because he lost in 1st round in 5 games with the best record in the league. Same way how 73-9 Warriors had a failed season by losing in game 7 of the finals but the Utah Jazz this season were a success. Failure is defined by projections/expectations vs reality.
At the same time, the reporter asking that question to his face is such unprofessional behavior. Ask him more constructive questions
That was pretty much a perfect response to that question.
Buddy making 600 + thousand dollars for a couple hours on the court doing what he loves his legit passion and hobby making 600 a game what most makes in 10-20 years of they life working full time cheat code
Bang on Yan
Giannis not only treaches a right way of thinking but also how to be calm to stupid and bad intended questions!
Greetings from Greece.
Giannis doesn't answers (my opinion)
It is a big failure.
His team should get higher…
He knows it. Like he knew it , last summer with the Greek national team.
Sometimes is smarter to tell the truth and just say
We are sorry and we will be better next time , instead of telling
"something deep".
He doesn't works in a normal job.
The reporter (i don't know him) is maybe a person with a normal sallary.All he does he does it for living.
Giannis is a big athlete. He inspires a lot of people. Most of them have expectations. He should tell them what went wrong this year….
Not only that he worked for the year after and after.
When you decide to be an international personality , you have to be prepared to be criticized.
This year WAS A FAILURE 100%
Βut we all love him.
We never forget who he was and who he became!!!!!!
Excellent response!
Eric wont be taking the interview next year
Good days, bad days…spot on Sir.
Great words!
Their is failure. Life isn’t all popsicles and candy canes. They failed this year. A synonym of failure is non-achievement. They didn’t get the championship. In fact they went backwards from last year.
What a easy job, asking the same dumb question every year.. LOL
