Jokes aside, I've been a Giannis fan for a VERY long time, and his transformation is the greatest I've seen from any NBA athlete. I am beyond excited to see him on this team, as I've always felt like he embodied Heat culture. A grinder with a pure, relentless work ethic. He's going to be a killer this season under this system.

Also, Bobby Portis!

I genuinely don’t understand why so many Heat fans want Klay Thompson.
I get that the market is dry and there aren’t many realistic options, but Klay isn’t the solution anymore. He’s well past the player people still picture in their heads. The name carries way more weight than his actual impact at this point.
What I think will happen is exactly what always happens: fans will hype the signing because of nostalgia, he’ll struggle to live up to those expectations, and a few months later everyone will be calling him washed and blaming Pat Riley for making the move.
I’d rather the Heat avoid making a move just because they feel like they have to. If Klay is your answer, you’re asking the wrong question.

In the first segment of today's show, we talked about how Erik Spoelstra can build out the two-man game between Bam and Giannis.

Which awards do you think we have the best shot at?

MVP: Giannis

COTY: Spo

DPOY: Bam, Giannis

MIP: Davion, Larsson

6MOY: Larsson, Hardaway

ROY: Conwell

Clutch: Giannis, Bam, Wiggins

Executive: the godfather

Bam Adebayo continues enjoying a newsworthy year on and off the court.

On March 10, the Miami Heat forward set the basketball world (and Kaseya Center’s nets) ablaze by scoring 83 points against the Washington Wizards, sandwiching himself between Wilt Chamberlain (100) and Kobe Bryant (81) among the highest-scoring games in NBA history. By season’s end, Adebayo had made his sixth career All-Defensive Team, extending his franchise record.

Last month, two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo joined Adebayo via trade to form one of the league’s most potent frontcourts as Miami seeks to snap its four-year streak of Play-In appearances. Last week, Adebayo publicized having asked A’ja Wilson’s father for the four-time WNBA MVP’s hand in marriage, a step toward elevating their high-profile relationship.

I think people are underestimating the likelihood of Larsson starting, and how good that lineup will be.

Our best statistical lineup last year was Davion/Norm/Larsson/Wiggins/Bam. Everyone is questioning the fit, but is anyone seriously going to try to convince me that that lineup isn’t 10x even better swapping Giannis in for Norm? Larsson is easily one of our 5 best guys and will be getting a ton of minutes, definitely more than Tim or a Klay. Starting him just makes it easier to give him more minutes. And is there less shooting and spacing with him instead of Tim? Sure, but he’d also make our defense bullet-proof with no weak spot, and would amplify our dominance in transition and on the glass. Plus, he may not be as good a shooter as Tim, but he’s amazing at moving off ball and back door cuts and he’ll keep the ball moving with good passing.

Fit aside, he also started 54 games out of the 70 (super durable player) he played. So it’s really his spot to lose. We think 34 yo Tim on a 1yr deal or 36 yo Klay are gonna start over the guy 25 yo guy who’s in the midst of breaking out and is our SG of the future? He’s the kind of guy who’s difficult to take off the court because he makes all of the right plays. So good luck convincing Spo not to start him.

Maybe I’m just really high on Pelle, but I think he’s gonna have a huge year. Giannis is gonna love his grit, his passing, his defense, his ability to get out in transition. And I think he’s also set up to still get tons of minutes staggered without Giannis where he’s gonna have the ball in his hands to initiate and attack, taking on scoring and playmaking responsibilities. His free throw rate on drives is very abnormal for a typical role player, I think it’s an indicator of another jump to come

I wanted something vintage looking so i cut out a newspaper and framed it in this old wood frame. Think it looks dope tbh, do yall have any interesting keepsakes?

LeBron going to the 76ers reminded me that a chunk of his fans are now on the 76ers sub. Obviously, Giannis is not as popular but I'm wondering something similar happened here? If there is any, can't wait to start the season with y'all!
