They canāt even use the injury excuse. Kawhi is literally Too 6. ESPN analyst literally sat there and purposefully excluded Giannis.
A_SandlerthaGOAT
I was gonna say itās cause heās hurt but so is Kawhi lmao
This is ridiculous
Vivid_Philosopher304
For Giannis they said they excluded him because he is hurt. But I think Dame should be above DB, Hali, Mitchel and Bamā¦at least. As I told in the other post this year it feels we are not even a play in team with trash players as roster.
Godā¦I wish to win it all. Iām not going to shut up for years after all this dissing.

ESPN nothing but rating wh*res.

Hali in his first playoff game had 9 pts. He shouldn’t even be sniffing this list it is just insulting

Canāt believe Iām saying it but now I know how Cowboys fans feel

How the fuck is this even considered legitimate what a joke.

Bam over Dame gtfo

Devin Bookerās relevance expired after Bucks in 6

What the actual f*ck is Tatum doing at 7. Maybe I wouldnāt care if Giannis and Dame were on this list, but theyāre not, not even one of them.
Astonishes me how ESPN has any credibility. Bunch of Hollywood posers pushing narratives.

I mean I get it but I think this was just an error including kawhi when they planned on excluding injured players. Obviously they aren’t excluding giannis
SkippyMcSkipster2
Tyrese made the list but Dame didn’t? Wow, talk about being irrelevant.
hiptones
I want this to be fuel for the Bucks postseason. I want them to play with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.

No way this is a real listā¦

What did Giannis do to this man?
Cantguard-mike
At this point itās just funny
JHaliMath31
Why is Hali on this list. Dude was scared for his life and deferring to TJ mcconell lmao. He was maybe our 5th best player?
drutastic57
Also watched top 100 plays of the 23-24 season. I donāt remember 1 play by Giannis. There is Ike 12 Wemby plays btw

I honestly don’t watch anymore National sports coverage because as a Bucks fan I’ve become increasingly aware of that channels bias towards big market teams. It makes sense from a business perspective, probably more fans in those markets, but it definitely pushed me away from their content and towards local beat writers.
Yhhorm
Yeah cause Dame is worse than 9/7/8 Hali
beenhadballs
Another great example of scheduled content vs reporting and analyzing whats in front of you. The Hali micād up segment was so funny and out of place to roll when the opposing PG is dropping 19 in the quarter. They should try and get back to journalism and reporting but thats probably too far gone in 2024.

I think Giannis is being blackballed.Ā The way they’ve talked about him all season has been crazy. I’ve never seen Charles Berkeley shown so much disrespect for the Bucks like he did yesterday before and after the game on TNT.Ā The fact that they refused to acknowledge his historical games this season.Ā I bet if it was Jokic that did what Giannis did in terms of his numbers, everyone and their mama would’ve heard it gazillion times on ESPN and every sports podcast shows.Ā The only conclusion I can come up with for all these nonsense we’ve seen from the media about the Bucks this season is that they want to punish Giannis for the Jrue trade and the Adrian firing.Ā Nevermind the fact that he wasn’t involved with Jrue trade at all, and all parties involved with that trade already came out and confirmed that Giannis wasn’t told beforehand.Ā Ā Ā Ā
As far as the Adrian fiasco he was definitely involved somewhat but any person with even a little bit of intelligence knew that Adrian wasn’t the right coach for this team.Ā Ā If they are all so heartbroken for Adrian like they pretend to be (the guy is getting paid millions by the way), maybe they should hire him.Ā The guy had interviewed for a head coaching job 15 times prior to getting the job with the Bucks.Ā So many teams chose not to hire him until the big bad wolf BucksĀ gave him his first chance as a head coach, but he squandered that opportunity by being unprepared and clueless.Ā Ā

I donāt really get why theyād have animosity towards the Bucks specifically ā itās not like the Bucks are some obnoxious dynasty that has won a ton of championships by overspending like the 90s Yankees or has won by breaking rules like the Astros. Whatās there to hate about the Bucks?
Once you realize sports media is full of fake takes to drive engagement and ignore it, sports become much more fun

Sports media doesnāt like superstars staying in a small market. What a shock.
khrismiddletonburner
Fuck āem. They shill out their own misery for cheap views from other miserable assholes that donāt understand the parity of life. The whole championship run, ESPN was shitting on this team and saying they couldnāt do it. Giannis gets hurt, the first thing they say is that the Hawks will come back. Giannis came back instead and embarrassed the media. We go down 0-2, and 99% of airtime is āteams who drop the first two never blah blah etc etc buzz wordsā. You know what happens next. The only person that gave the Bucks any credit and believed out loud was Chuck, and the TNT show is the only one worth tuning into for me anymore.
In other words: Fuck ESPN. Itās the bottom of the barrel. Which is a shame, because it did used to have charm. But, hate = views and views = money and money equates to success for them, regardless of bias. They keep the really loud and dumb guys for the sole reason that it engages and sucks in all of the other loud and dumb guys watching; its just monetized toxicity.
And itās vindicating enough for me that the culture of the Milwaukee Bucks happens to be the exact opposite of that.
