Thanks giannis for being honest.
Congratulations to Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith. They have achieved their goals. Is this a surprised? Heck no!! I would be a fool if I didn't expect this. How can you not have metal issues when people like Skip Bayless make up lies just to make you look bad? Complete lies. The NBA is a DISGRACED business. I promise, the NBA has a lot to do with Giannis' mental issues. This is not a surprise at all. Giannis would be lying if he says the sports media (UNDISPUTED, ESPN…)doesn't have anything to do with his mental issues. He would be lying. Skip Bayless specifically says if you want to beat Giannis, you have to enter in his pychy. Well done! I don't know why even the media always giving players strategy on how to play Giannis. You never hear them giving out a game plan on how to guard LeBron, KD or any other player. Always Giannis.
Thanks to everyone for watching. This is an important discussion for background on how the story came together and ultimately further context behind the chat.
Lori's the best!
That's A REAL MAN❤
He has empathy which is one of the most important qualities in a human.
Mental health is priceless, I wouldn't have blamed him.
Much love to y'all
Great show, I like seeing your face 😊
Giannis is an inspiration. I have a young adult child who, like so many who have to wrestle with mental health issues, have had to overcome struggles to stay afloat and stive to move forward. Listening to this, I kept thinking back at all the times they had to get back up after a rough patch, and I think back to us chatting about Giannis comments over the last few years. We like watching games together when we can, and so being able to hear his comments over the last few years and have positive nuggets of wisdom and inspiration beyond just his play…well I for one count my blessings to be a Bucks fan today.
God is on Giannis side because he chose God first. Faith is a real powerful thing. Sorry atheists. Giannis loves you guys as well.
This was really, really good.
Great Episode and great story from Lori to cover a different perspective of Giannis as a athlete and as a human being. thanks to the good work @kane, quality stuff as usual ! Wondering whats the pipeline for the next few weeks' guests:)
Man, we really need a functioning healthcare system. 50 thousand people ever year die because they couldn't afford healthcare. 500 thousand families have to file for bankruptcy because of medical debt every year.
Welldone Kane, this is lovely! Let us change the false narratives they have been saying about Giannis Antetokounmpo. We must control the narratives around the best basketball player in the world his name is Giannis Antetokounmpo
when it’s all said and done giannis will have one of the craziest nba stories ever. his journey to the league is already one of one but the more greatness he achieves will put him on mj level when it comes to career narrative
I can always hear Giannis' kids destroying the studio in the background 💪🏽💪🏽And they're really vocal too The thing that stood out about Giannis, however, was his ability to face the press after each game, win or lose Man, that's pressure. Having a good relationship with the press, goes a long way. I wish him and his team the best of luck in the playoffs👍🏽
Atlanta will win naimi tonight.
Thnx Kane and Lori !
I used to say Giannis is a great ambassador of Hellenism. I will now say he is a great ambassador of humanity.
Good content!
Aaron Rodgers could've just talked to a therapist instead of whatever the fuck he has been doing lol
Giannis is a the definition of a leader, a men among boys, a good brother, a good father, no matter what anyone says he is a good person, a good family man, and that's all that matters.
Kane this might be your best program yet. I learned so much from this and I feel a bit guilty about my expectations of superstar athletes. I already had a lot of respect for Giannis and I didn't think he could impress me even more. Thank you for sharing his family story. ❤
Great reporting by Lori, hope you can have her back!
