    Didn’t we just do this with harden and embiid?

  2. WanAjin

    They should probably do anything together before you compare them to one of the greatest duos of all time.

  3. FreshPrinceAV

    Sports commentary and talk shows have been such complete ass for nearly the past 20 years. The most reactionary shit takes with every breath taken.

  4. This is something you say after the Bucks win 2-3 championships lol. Everyone needs to pump the brakes.

  5. blacPanther55

    Giannis might end up being better than Shaq and Kobe when it’s all said and done.

  6. 2people1luv

    I mean, I don’t disagree. This is how Dame played in Portland with CJ. He would allow other guys to get going, but when it was Dame time, it was Dame time. I think it’s a good fit for Giannis. Do y’all think they should try to move Middleton too?

  7. ObiWannaDoYou74

    hahahahahahah this fool and his stupid takes

  8. bornlasttuesday

    Kobe was in his 20s and Dame is 33.

    The disrespect is insane. These idiots get paid to say this shit on national tv lmao

    This team will do better than last year. I don’t think they’ll dominate but they are finals contenders.

  11. Nightmare4545

    The different is that Giannis and Dame arent anywhere on the same level as Kobe and Shaq.

  12. Nightmare4545

    Dames never played with someone better then him, so no one knows how this even goes. One of them is going to have to play second fiddle.

  13. theseustheminotaur

    Dudes have lines like this ready to go, just insert whatever star pairing and they pull it out like they didn’t say that shit about the last star pairing that didn’t win anything

  14. bigla420

    I like the trade and I think Dame and Giannis will be must see tv but how are they going to replace Jrue’s defense 🤔

  15. AntSmith777

    Dame is great but don’t compare him to Kobe.

  16. jono9898

    It never fails, any team when a big man and guard joins forces will get Kobe and Shaq comparisons

    Jrue Holiday’s defense is going to really be missing, the Bucks will really have to rely on their offense this season because Dame doesn’t play a lick of defense ever.

    Also, they really need to Middleton to stay healthy because their roster gets thin after that.

    Not even close to the duo but definitely excited to watch them agains the celtics

  20. Siltysand1

    Unless Giannis grows a sack and starts defending the other team’s best player in crunch time instead of being scared and shrugging his shoulders and saying to the media that the coach gave him another defensive assignment , that team won’t get past the ECF.

  21. Klaxosaur

    The difference is Kobe was a godly two way player in his younger days.

    Dame is not.

  22. wut_eva_bish

    Cept Giannis aint’ even close to Prime Shaq and Dame is an outside scorer vs. Kobe’s midrange game.

  23. declinedgarrett

    Giannis may not be as dominant as Shaq but he makes up for it in ways that bring him close(ish) to the same impact. Dame is a great fuckin player but he has NOWHERE near the same impact on both sides as Kobe.

    That said…scary shit nonetheless.
