I have to be honest here. While this soundbite sounds far more flagrant than Giannis' technical foul from Game 1 looked...
...I'm not so sure that it was. I could be wrong, but every time I have heard the 'Greek Freak' speak he's always been insanely happy-go-lucky and humble. Maybe the collective pettiness of the NBA has finally rubbed off on him, but - without hearing the preceding question - I don't think it's crazy to assume that his answer was more of a statement of truth than an underhanded insult. I didn't know this would ever be up for discussion, but we just got come clarification. When you are an NBA star you have to shoot 0% from the floor in a playoff game for a simple, matter-of-fact reading of your stats to come off as a third-degree burn that has the internet acting like the crowd at the 'And 1 Mixtape Tour'. DeMar DeRozan just got absolutely roasted....by his own numbers. His performance got torched...by one line on a sheet of paper. A potentially innocent answer to the media...had the basketball world like... Not to be overly critical, but DeMar DeRozan might want to come out in Game 4 and try to send a message...by scoring one single bucket. I think it's safe to say that Giannis already sent his...with this absurd elbow block...
P.S. Now, the Bucks playing the 'Barney' theme song during the Raptors player intros? Likely a much more intentional act of trolling...
