Fortunately Giannis should be a captain so this’ll all be moot

Another ESPN article that’s all hot takes for clicks, nothing to see here lol

Lowe has had some pretty wacky takes lately. I hope he doesn’t turn in yet another hot take artist… KOC is heading that way, unfortunately.

Must be a Celtics writer. No one in their right mind would put Kyrie Lite (the antisemitic part) over Giannis
devomke
Damn I hope he sees this lol let it give him a little chip on the shoulder
YoudontknowBoRyan
He doesn’t have Jrue as an all star either. Boo this man!
MrTomAce
Lmao. Good luck benching him when he’s the captain of the fucking team

Oh, please do this. We need angry Giannis through the playoffs.
gooberstwo
Especially when you’re like, he’s not even the best defender (when the other guy is willing to try). It’s ludicrous.

Zach Lowe never talked about the bucks until we won a ship. It’s apparently far enough away to not care about us again.
SamCarter_SGC
you can put away all the stats, he should start simply because of his history of actually trying
BucksFan654
I think it’s cause Embiid is fucked for All-NBA so you might as well give him the starting all star spot.
Doesn’t matter, Giannis will be the captain anyways

when Giannis took this team to the ecf and lost that was such a huge stain for him and this team and was held against him until he won a chip but guys like embiid who can’t make it past the second round get put over him in conversation like this and yes Ik it’s for clicks but it’s so annoying. 2 mvps dpoy fmvp and a championship ring on his finger for the team that drafted him that he didn’t abandon when things got hard why can’t these sites just write good material make accurate lists.

As someone who grew up consuming all my early sports knowledge through ESPN, it’s sad the state the network is in.
Nobody on their right mind would even think to move the leading vote getter to the bench. That’s like JJ Redick omitting Giannis off his top players in the league list and Embiid calling him out on the spot! lol

Not an issue. Giannis plays Point Forward and these other guys don’t.

The man that was leading the conference in votes last week? He should be off the bench? Was the writer of this on something?

Benching the captain lol

Giannis can play point guard
Allcopsaremustard
See y’all at the end of the play-offs

oh no guys its Joel Embiid!! i sure hope he doesn’t make it to the 3rd round for the first time literally ever lmao
I-Am-NOT-VERY-NICE
“Yes, it feels ridiculous to shove Antetokounmpo to the pine. He might be the best player in the world!”
There’s nothing they can say after this that makes sense, because they already threw logic out the window in favor of bias. Dumbest thing I’ve read all month

Tatum or Embiid is coming off the bench as long as Giannis and Durant are in the east
Fun_Potential_6308
East is stacked. Whoops west in terms of top level talent.
AnyNamesLeftAnymore
Is Durant even going to be healthy for the ASG?

I think this is just Zach Lowe which makes sense because he’s a hater

You’re talking about it, so it’s a win for ESPN.
