Part 1: An NBA Popularity Check and Tyson’s Big Comeback With Wosny Lambre and Van Lathan

I think Giannis' appeal has been mismanaged by the league, by Nike. Oh, what's this case?

I just think, like, this whole, like, oh, the poor, humble immigrant who was selling, you know, yogurts in Greece for a dollar probably. Like, I just think that was just mismanaged. They should have leaned into, like, the insane competitor, freakish athlete, whatever guy.

Like, the way he's been packaged to America as this, like, cutesy immigrant story, I think was done a disservice to, like, his actual star pill. And Giannis is somebody who's actually embracing... Americana in a way that Jokic and Luka just don't. They're just not interested in being American celebrities.

They're just like, yo, I want to hoop, win, go home, be a great teammate, move on with my life. But Giannis is interested in being a cultural figure. And I think that could have worked. I just think that they didn't. I think Giannis is pretty compelling. But I think the freaking foreign stuff does hurt the league. If Luka was from Indiana, bro... he would be out of here.
