NBA Playoffs 2021

Giannis just cemented himself as a first ballot, Hall of Famer.....at 26 years old.

Yep.  He could retire tomorrow and still be in the Pantheon.

The question now is how high in the top 10 does he go.

[johnnygreen]

There was no denying Giannis tonight. He played like a champion in every aspect. Very happy for him and the team.

Yup, and Chris Paul is on his way to LA...

Yeah, I worry about this, too. That said, he seems to also be looking for longer term money if he's going to turn down $44 Million, which I don't think LAL will be able to swing either through a trade or getting him the kind of money he'll be looking for to opt out of that much money.

As much as I'm on the fence about Paul, would love to see him in Boston, though likely not at the kind of money and contract length he's seeking.

I just see no way the union president opts out of $44 million to take an MLE deal in LA.

That sure looks like way more than 65,000 outside the arena. Might be close to 200K by night's end

Looks like half of Milwaukee!

Probably not. But...

It looks like both halves!

What's this do for Coach Bud's reputation? Lol Finally didn't choke in the playoffs, though Giannis going full-God certainly helped him out.

[Goldstar88]

Guess coach Bud gets to keep his job after all. Lol.

Ridiculous the owners pass the trophy around before the players touch it.

Man, Danny messed up.

Governors.

Man, Danny messed up.

Maybe, I dunno, I feel like KO hasn't reached his ceiling yet.

[nickagneta]

Funny coincidence. The year before Lebron won it all for his first time, I had him in the CB Draft but lost the draft. This last year I had Giannis in the Historical Draft. Once again I lost, but my centerpiece went on to show his greatness and win his first title.

Gotta wonder how many more titles Giannis has coming his way

lol….it is beyond ridiculous. Is this a basketball thing?

[gouki88]

Not sure what it is, but I find something about Adam Silver incredibly unnerving
