Eric Nehm

I've seen it.

He's held the Bill Russell MVP trophy.

He's done those things.

And that, I think, is always where things can get a little sideways when we're talking about Giannis because it's not that he hasn't won one yet.

It's that he wants more.

that he wants he wants to keep adding to his legacy uh to be in the conversation with all-time greats i think that's a conversation he's going in on no matter what he was already on the top 75 team um i think in our athletic rankings of the the 75 greatest players of all time i think we had him at 22.

i would guess he'd be even higher than that at this point if we would do those rankings again today for sure um and yeah he he is he is an all-timer like that right through through 13 seasons he has done enough his resume says he is an all-timer uh and now it's just how do you fill out the rest of that resume well that's to me why i i think that if you're the bucks the excuse is like why you haven't traded him yet or whatever is because like how do you let this guy go

I mean, it seems unlikely at this point.

It just has... This was a really rough season.

I have not... And I do feel bad for Giannis because as the best player, you always have to answer for the team's struggles.

Like, that's a part of being a player or being a superstar player.

And when they weren't winning games and when they were struggling...

He was the one that had to answer the post-game questions.

And sure, we talked to a guy like Ryan Rollins or Miles Turner or Kyle Kuzma or Bobby Portis, but that isn't the same.

It's Giannis.

And there was just so many moments this year where you could tell, like,

He just hasn't had a play with young point guards.

He hasn't had a play with a bunch of young guys.

He hasn't had to have a roster that... There were times when they had injuries and that occurred, but for the most part, he's never had a play with...

uh an undermanned team a team that doesn't match up as well um you know as as they should and i think it was a lot especially in you know year 13 is he was struggling with injuries as well um you know i think he's gonna i think we're at 16 games that he'll have missed by the time he's done with this uh current capturing i think he'll probably have missed half the team's games like whenever it is that he comes back like
