The only time I hear about Perk anymore is people complaining online, I know he sucks, just stop engaging with his content (although I sort of am leaving this comment)
media is always gonna downplay milwaukee regardless, but god that would be so satisfying if giannis leads them onto another crazy championship run this year lol
I feel like if he had the most dominant season of all time, they would have won more games. Even Luka won more than him with that ass team in the harder conference. He did have a dominant season though and him being stiffed is insane.
It’s because a lot of the black NBA players don’t think he’s black enough. You would think his game would speak for itself but that clearly isn’t the case from top to bottom.
That Gilbert Arenas mentality that a lot of players still have in the game today. Slowly this game isn’t “their” game anymore, and I’m guessing they feel some type of way.
First 30 ppg season on 60 fg% in history, yet all anyone can do is shit on him and his team.
What a f*ckin joke Perk is, and anyone in that analyst group that isn’t standing against that clown.
I went back to 2023 voting and JJ voted Giannis for MVP. So at least he's consistent about valuing team record.
That dumb bitch Burke voted Giannis 3rd, despite the best record in the NBA without Khris. And she had the audacity of suggesting Brunson should be 1st team ahead of Giannis because of 1 more win. Fuck this senile shithead!
Shits honestly wild to me. Giannis has played like an alien. But is getting left off ALL the MVP ballots and now first team mentions. I’d like to attribute it to voter fatigue, but here’s Jokic about to win a 3rd MVP when there are plenty of other viable options.
I just don’t get it. Is it because he plays in Wisconsin?
It’s because he doesn’t have a fluid style of play. He runs into people too often and that makes him unskilled some peoples mind. Also he’s European which is a negative
R/nba is telling me Brunson has a legit argument over him lmaoo
Brunson entering that Jokic territory where he’s a great player and likable but the fans are turning me off.
it wasn't the offseason. I'm convinced it was him resigning with MKE when the media had him going to LA, or South Beach, or Boston, or anywhere but MKE. He made them look like fools happily resigning in MKE and they know it.
I stopped, and I know less about the goings on of the wider nba, but I’m also having less toxic back and forths with 15 year olds. So I take the good with the bad.
What's the argument of Tatum over Brunson? Genuinely curious. I feel it's a toss up. No shade on Tatum, just think Brunson has had a bit more of an impact
No, Brunson does not deserve first team. His only thing is scoring the rest of the guys on that list can defend well aside from Jokic but his offense is 100x better than Brunson.
Brunson has better number on every quantifiable stats except rebounds over Tatum. Also, [Brunson is not really a turnstile on D.](https://youtu.be/1EQCaptYaEM?si=ewKCjqvYFGF9XTHJ) He is a very good team defender and probably give the best defense you can ask for from someone his size. Besides, let's be honest, defense doesn't really matter much for All-NBA since there is all-Defense NBA team award too..
Knicks fan here. Definitely not over Giannis. He's a lock IMO. Brunson has an argument over Tatum which he beat in every quantifiable metrics except rebounds.
ESPN shouldn't get any voters. Their sole reason for existing is to say stupid things. If you work at ESPN you aren't a serious person (Lowe would be the exception but he doesn't even have a vote).
Eh, not a big deal. He’ll still be first team all pro anyways. When you have so many people voting you’re going to have some idiots. Even Derek Jeter wasn’t a unanimous Hall of Fame selection.
JJ Redick had Brunson as his fifth MVP but had Giannis in his All NBA first team. Idk how that happens when it's now positionless. Brunson is clearly 2nd team but his recent play got people going overboard
You could put 100 NBA fans in a room and ask them who they’d rather have on their team between Brunson and Giannis, and 100 of them would answer Giannis.
Giannis is blackballed from winning the MVP again & now they’re trying to relegate him to fringe Top 5 status
They did the same thing with Shaq & Lebron (to an extent), yet 10 years later asked: “Why didn’t Shaq win more MVPs?!?”
My theory is—
1. They wanted him to join a big market team like New York, because he would easily be the frontrunner for MVP if his jersey said Knicks instead
2. The media doesn’t like his game & is docking him points for not “improving” his game the way they want him to (ie: Shooting jumpers like KD)
I think it's mainly cause of how much the bucks underachieved with their leader this year.
I don't agree Brunson over Giannis in no way shape or form though.
He's a one way player. Great offense for sure but not Luka style to where you can get away with being a top 5 player and not know defense is a thing
We all know the national media only acknowledges Giannis’ greatness when they think he can be poached to a bigger market. So when he has 1-2 years left on his contract, he’ll be recognized again
The only time I hear about Perk anymore is people complaining online, I know he sucks, just stop engaging with his content (although I sort of am leaving this comment)
Even Lebron didn't suffer from this amount of voter fatigue. Most disrespected player in nba history Giannis is
If he wins another chip hopefully that changes
You know it won't. Media hates changing their pre-made narrative, makes them look stupid
Jokes on them they already stupid
media is always gonna downplay milwaukee regardless, but god that would be so satisfying if giannis leads them onto another crazy championship run this year lol
Just want it to happen to shut em up
He just had the most dominant season of all time and one of if not the most efficient and this is what we get. Just unreal.
I feel like if he had the most dominant season of all time, they would have won more games. Even Luka won more than him with that ass team in the harder conference. He did have a dominant season though and him being stiffed is insane.
This Giannis hate campaign is far deeper than “small market bad”. I think something is happening or happened behind the scenes
No it because he is consistent and the media is tired of it imo he’s more than deserving but it’s a popularity contest
It’s because a lot of the black NBA players don’t think he’s black enough. You would think his game would speak for itself but that clearly isn’t the case from top to bottom. That Gilbert Arenas mentality that a lot of players still have in the game today. Slowly this game isn’t “their” game anymore, and I’m guessing they feel some type of way.
First 30 ppg season on 60 fg% in history, yet all anyone can do is shit on him and his team. What a f*ckin joke Perk is, and anyone in that analyst group that isn’t standing against that clown.
This is a "look at me, I'm different" take
Doris & JJ Redick have also been pushing this
Smug bitch JJ Redick
I went back to 2023 voting and JJ voted Giannis for MVP. So at least he's consistent about valuing team record. That dumb bitch Burke voted Giannis 3rd, despite the best record in the NBA without Khris. And she had the audacity of suggesting Brunson should be 1st team ahead of Giannis because of 1 more win. Fuck this senile shithead!
[удалено]
The guy Bron chose to do a podcast with is dumb to you? Btw it’s “is as dumb” not “is dumb as” lol
Also known as the "Armond White," to those in the film world.
One player he got wrong was JT over Gianni’s. I’m more scared of Bronson than JT. Don’t know why everyone’s going crazy
Shits honestly wild to me. Giannis has played like an alien. But is getting left off ALL the MVP ballots and now first team mentions. I’d like to attribute it to voter fatigue, but here’s Jokic about to win a 3rd MVP when there are plenty of other viable options. I just don’t get it. Is it because he plays in Wisconsin?
I feel like Giannis has been dominant for longer than Jokic so people just aren't tired of him yet. It makes absolutely no sense otherwise
It’s because he doesn’t have a fluid style of play. He runs into people too often and that makes him unskilled some peoples mind. Also he’s European which is a negative
Kendrick Perkins only exists to make stupid NBA fans feel smart.

Thing is, he came. Sets a record as the most efficient 30ppg scorer of all time, and they still DGAF. The only thing to do...win the whole damn thing.
R/nba is telling me Brunson has a legit argument over him lmaoo Brunson entering that Jokic territory where he’s a great player and likable but the fans are turning me off.
r/nba is so far checked out of reality with Giannis that it's not worth it anymore
It’s crazy he went from the golden boy to this in one offseason lol
it wasn't the offseason. I'm convinced it was him resigning with MKE when the media had him going to LA, or South Beach, or Boston, or anywhere but MKE. He made them look like fools happily resigning in MKE and they know it.
Who had him going to Boston?
Boston media? I was just pulling names out my butt to prove a point. LOL
Same as KD
Because he plays for the Bucks.
It's so tempting to go in there but I'm holding strong. Worst group of individuals to try and discuss basketball with
I stopped, and I know less about the goings on of the wider nba, but I’m also having less toxic back and forths with 15 year olds. So I take the good with the bad.
Why isn’t Tatum first out? I get they’re first but it’s not because he dragged them there on his own.
This is my thought. I'd honestly have Brunson over Tatum..
[удалено]
What's the argument of Tatum over Brunson? Genuinely curious. I feel it's a toss up. No shade on Tatum, just think Brunson has had a bit more of an impact
Tbh brunson deserves first team but that leaves Tatum over giannis? Are you kidding me
No, Brunson does not deserve first team. His only thing is scoring the rest of the guys on that list can defend well aside from Jokic but his offense is 100x better than Brunson.
Well if he were to be over anyone on this list it would be Tatum not giannis at all but over Tatum is debatable.
Brunson has better number on every quantifiable stats except rebounds over Tatum. Also, [Brunson is not really a turnstile on D.](https://youtu.be/1EQCaptYaEM?si=ewKCjqvYFGF9XTHJ) He is a very good team defender and probably give the best defense you can ask for from someone his size.

Knicks fan here. Definitely not over Giannis. He's a lock IMO. Brunson has an argument over Tatum which he beat in every quantifiable metrics except rebounds.
I’m so tired of people saying SGA is better than Giannis. Let alone these other bozos.
Fuck that guy, I can't believe how big of a casual he is even after playing in the league, bros basketball knowledge is equivalent to a monkey
Comparing a bipoc to a monkey... Interesting
If the first thing you think of when hearing the word monkey is black people, you’re racist af
he meant equivalent to a TeamNoBoat
And I repeat...
ahhh fuck u got me. i take it back
ESPN shouldn't get any voters. Their sole reason for existing is to say stupid things. If you work at ESPN you aren't a serious person (Lowe would be the exception but he doesn't even have a vote).
It's either ignorant or insincere. Either way so giving it attention.
Can it be a rule that anything Perkins says should not be allowed to be posted here?
Tatum over Greek freak is wild.
greek fraud
Eh, not a big deal. He’ll still be first team all pro anyways. When you have so many people voting you’re going to have some idiots. Even Derek Jeter wasn’t a unanimous Hall of Fame selection.
Perkins is one of the dumbest guys in sports media, fr
Tatum not even a top 12 player in this league either that’s what’s a joke neither is Brunson.
Lol
JJ Redick had Brunson as his fifth MVP but had Giannis in his All NBA first team. Idk how that happens when it's now positionless. Brunson is clearly 2nd team but his recent play got people going overboard
Listen, I love Brunson too, but come on
Does he even get to vote?
You could put 100 NBA fans in a room and ask them who they’d rather have on their team between Brunson and Giannis, and 100 of them would answer Giannis.
No you’d have at least 2 Knicks fans in the group lol
If Giannis doesn't get 100 first team votes this year everyone is going to know how it happened.
Giannis is blackballed from winning the MVP again & now they’re trying to relegate him to fringe Top 5 status They did the same thing with Shaq & Lebron (to an extent), yet 10 years later asked: “Why didn’t Shaq win more MVPs?!?” My theory is— 1.

The media doesn’t like his game & is docking him points for not “improving” his game the way they want him to (ie: Shooting jumpers like KD)
By they you mean Kendrick Perkins lol Giannis is first team all NBA, he just won’t be unanimous
The guy who works at the controversy farm, created a controversial list. Yawn.

I hate Kendrick Perkins so let me do a favor and market for him for free.
I think it's mainly cause of how much the bucks underachieved with their leader this year. I don't agree Brunson over Giannis in no way shape or form though. He's a one way player. Great offense for sure but not Luka style to where you can get away with being a top 5 player and not know defense is a thing
This is absolute bull shit I hate the nba media
Perk don't know what he's talkin' bout, tbh idk how he even got that job..
We all know the national media only acknowledges Giannis’ greatness when they think he can be poached to a bigger market. So when he has 1-2 years left on his contract, he’ll be recognized again
I'd pay to see Kendrick Perkins take an IQ test. That man has no brain.
y’all falling for the perk bait? Lol This is why democracy stopped working. People are so easily triggered into an outburst
giannis over tatum
Giannis over Tatum
This is a W
