[Nehm] Asked Giannis Antetokounmpo why he thought it was important to play through the left hamstring tendinopathy that has had him listed on the injury report recently tonight. Here was his response

    Someone tie his ass to a chair for a couple games

    That’s the generic Chat GTP response Giannis has memorized and repeats whenever he doesn’t really want to answer the questions.

    I love the canned sentiment and I get wanting to leave it all on the floor but please don’t leave it all in april, Giannis. He’s going to have to match his physical approach with being cerebral about these things for his game to age well.

  4. He’s stubborn and knows he’s one of the few (probably only) consistent player on the team that can pull the team out of the gutter, but it’s so late into the season and it’s better not just for the playoffs but for his career in the long-run to rest when injured. It’s not going to get any better and it’s not wise to try to build a tolerance for it by playing through it.

    The quote translated: my team is ass (except for Dame) and without me we would be a play-in team. With me we get to lose to a play-in team. #free Giannis…Horst cooked the Bucks with all his old guys

  6. I’m wondering if this is a message to some of the other guys sitting out.

    Giannis is hurt but he’s still setting the standard.

    Tendinopathy becomes chronic when it is continuously reaggravated, someone needs to sit this guy out. I had achilles tendinopathy when I was a freshman in high school and continued to run track, and I subsequently tore my achilles at 20 years old. It weakens your tendons and ligaments so much, you need to listen to your body before permanent damage is done

    Ironically I was at the game last night with someone who had never seen a bucks game live and he was excited to see giannis. I didn’t really care if we got the Milwaukee Herd last night with all of big 3 out because I know how old this team is and seeding does not matter over health for them. They only have a chance if dame/giannis/khris are all healthy. But this person was a pretty casual fan and just wanted to see giannis in person. I’m glad giannis tried to gut it out but I just hope it’s not going to means he’s going to keep doing this the rest of the regular season that is left. Maybe he’d be more comfortable sitting if he knew one of the other big 3 would be in there. They also played terrible teams like Memphis and Washington to also had a ton of guys out. Maybe was hoping they could get those victories because the tougher opponents they have coming will likely be much less favored. Even so they lost both games when he played so it was a waste of this hamstring to keep pushing. But maybe he did make a few people’s nights to see him live. Even in his compromised state he still has some impressive blocks and a dunk.

  9. i really hope we don’t fumble away this man’s best years.

    sure hurt watching you unable to hit a net from under 10 feet most of the game and losing again. Idk maybe get healthy for the playoffs before another heart wrenching dissapointiment and this shit will become old after this year
