Old Guy Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I'm old enough to remember when Lew Alcindor, Oscar Robertson, Bobby Dandridge, Curtis (Curveball) Perry and Jon McGlocklin won the first one for Milwaukee. I never thought they'd win another one in the free agency era. It took a special person like Giannis, who decided to stay for that to happen. Great guy and a true champion's heart!

I opened the office at 7:58. Young kids have not arrived yet. Nor has our owner, who was also downtown. I had two very high end bourbon pours (Blantons) after the victory. Stayed up till about 1:30 watching the celebration. And? I'm okay, but I'm also going home around 2:00 to either get the boat out and relax or just take a nap. Maybe both. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giannis has that unstoppable will to win. Just like Magic/Bird/Jordan and Kobe. Maybe even I. Thomas. I'd throw Lebron in there, but he needed a super team. And I don't know that he quite has the killer instinct of those other guys, he's just insanely talented. Giannis dominated both sides of the court last night. All out effort, all the time. Dude looked like he could have played another 40 minutes if he had to. Amazing person. Amazing player. He's someone to be proud of, just like the rest of the team. (Gonna buy a "Bobby. Bobby. Bobby." tee shirt for my wife. Love Crazy Eyes! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vegas492 Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Would just like to thank Kevin Durant's "big *** foot" for assisting with our championship. Now Kevin, bring those big feet to Milwaukee and see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kampfgeist Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Best part of Giannis is after his miracle knee recovery(still cringe everytime I see that knee in slow motion) he didn't milk every bit of screen time in the Finals limping around or making sure people saw he was getting special treatment on his knee every opportunity. He didn't put on "the act" of exerting energy and playing hurt like LeBron would have. He just Greek Freakin did it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I give the Suns credit for locking in on Middleton, but they just did not understand the power and sheer will of Giannis. Huge, huge, huge Jordan fan here. Giannis was Jordan like in how he carried that team and the intensity he brought to both ends of the floor. He is now a legend. One more and he (and the Bucks) will be considered a legacy team.
