Gotta love Giannis passion
Fax
Still choked
Nah, hes in the first stage of grief, denial. He definitely failed
Passion for missing free throws? This is a top 100 player ever?!?? LOL NO F"ING WAY!
What a choke job by the bucks in game 5
All I know is... Next years playoffs, Eric better not dare ask this man the same question 3 Years in a row.😂
Now he has to
I mean if they're gonna be 1st seed again losing to an 8th seed
He can ask anything he wants
Right Giannis can get mad an I understand his frustration, but if your the 1 seed and lose in the 1st round to the 8th and only win 1 game at that. SORRY Greek Freak. That’s a failure. T up an come back better next year
@@ta9891 I can bet one thing. The heat won't beat a healthy bucks. Take this win now becuase you wont get this opportunity again.
Make it a trend.
This guy is a true sportsman. For sure he'll come back stronger.
You talking about Eric?
@@thatniggatom lmao 😅
and the question will come back too
Much respect to Giannis. You could tell he restrained himself a lot right there with his answer while being insightful about whether this season was a failure or not. If it's possible to call someone out while being respectful, Giannis just did it!
There was nothing wrong with the question. GA’s answer simply offered a diff perspective which many fans need
@@shaheedharun445 Hate how fans and media have this championship or bust culture. Dummies recognize that their are still 29 other teams that lose. You think they feel like their are rich losers or are you feeling like a loser and just tryna portray it upon the players
@@shaheedharun445 so much wrong with that question
He is one of the most privileged people on earth. Of course he doesn't understand what failure means. He can fail and still make millions. Most people if they get fired from a job, (failed) their whole life is fucked.
Lol 😂
that was the classiest "heated" exchange ive ever seen.
This is why I live Giannis man he keeps it real! I’m disappointed my Bucks didn’t get it done this year. We have to look to make some changes next year. But I know Giannis and the Bucks will still be contenders next year. Keep our heads up and move on.
Love*
He went Full Ben Simmons at the end, didn't even want the ball for the FT FEAR 😨
@@TH-camCensors true.
I don’t know if he’s keeping it real? Humility?
kept it real dumb. that's not what the reporter asked. if anything he showed me how weak he really is
As a heat fan , Im happy but man I want Giannis to keep winning championships, the guy works so hard and you can feel the passion , he is such a nice guy.
He needs to come up with a postgame and a mid range if he wanna win another championship cuz defenses are just sagging him or drawing charges
You can tell that to their coach. Did not get any proper adjustments. Now they're going to think of him(Giannis) as a choker.
@@shyamnatarajan5149 He was hitting middies consistently in 2021 but for some reason he kinda lost his touch from that range.
@@10kirneh Until he figures that out, the wall is back. He gonna learn the hard way that the refs not gonna be at his side all the time. His team has to master that too. There is a reason why GSW still in it despite the refs bs on Steph not getting foul calls.
@@shyamnatarajan5149 he has post game and mid range usually (you can look up the percentages he’s actually better than league average at both). He was just injured this series and still feeling the effects of having a tailbone injury. That’s why his free throws kept missing and his form looked weird. Don’t act like his lack of scoring was the issue this game. It was his free throws and his teammates/coach that lost them the game and series
He apologized at the end. For an NBA superstar lets let that sink in.
He spoke that gospel truth
Damn! What a great response.
This is another adversity great people overcome.
That's the best human answer I've ever heard from an athelete in a bit, we bleed just like you....others need to win in order for you to practice and have the drive to win again, no season is a failure its a lesson!!!
It has nothing to with ‘being human’ you melon
I’m glad Giannis kept his composure throughout the whole interview, he put that reporter in his place
Heat team put Bucks in their place. ON THE COUCH !
It was a stupid answer to a sensible question.
@@JohnSmith-oe5kx you clearly don’t know basketball
@@husseinali6484 he missed 13 free throws and said it wasn’t a failure
@@JohnSmith-oe5kxyou got it backwards. It was a brilliant answer to a stupid question.
I would build a team around this guy without a second thought. As a Boston fan, this is such a refreshing, poised, and humble answer. There are 50 yr olds who would explode at that question and he calms himself down in the moment and puts it all in perspective.
I subscribe to the Giannis Antetokounmpo philosophy of sports. His response to the question about failure outclassed and educated the entire room.
Well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
He's both humble and honest, there are no failures when you are trying to achieve a goal, only small victories along the way.
@@andrewb8235 I don't agree with you. Giannis just showed how completely clueless sports media are in general. Little idiots who never achieved anything on the field. MJ was a sick man when it comes to his ambition btw
@@andrewb8235 He answered the other question because the reporter's question shouldn't have been asked in the first place. It was the wrong question to ask, which Giannis knew and pointed out.
@@rsh650 you're wrong man. He didn't miss the point. He was saying that even if they didn't win this season it's not s failure because they were still able to make money, provide for their families and compete while learning things. Losing isn't necessarily a failure as it can be a step to set you up for success in the future.
Highly educated man and athlete.
He was about to go in on dude and I don't blame him. 😂😂😂
Fr🤣🤣😭I never seen Giannis this pissed. Security in that room was definitely paying attention to make sure bro don’t try something 😂
players today are soft and sensitive
@@justnahayo8490 you must not be a ladder
@@mikewilliams9069 the fuck that gotta do with anything
@Just Nahayo he seems very calm just frustrated and assertive, so I doubt he'd ever get physical
this dude is starting to become an idol of mine.
I like to see genuine emotions. he is also adressing the stupid media just trying to create dumb headlines
its never good to idolize another human being. Just say you respect what they do or say and leave it at that
You guys look up to fake people. LOLLOLOLOLOL
idolizing the participation trophy mindset leads to the loser generation
Yea but he makes money as a function of the media
They all work together to promote the sport and get people interested
Some dumb media post will get attention which drives views and ultimately ad money
@@resa574 not all media does that
i like how he manages to reasses his answer by taking the tone down without sounding negative...true champion here.
Bleacher Report, This is fantastic! I subscribed right away!
Well dang … Greek had Eric questioning his whole purpose in life 😂
Wow he made me rethink my whole life 😳
I'm not a Giannis fan, but I have to agree with his response. Losing is only a failure if the team is broken up. If you come back, improve and win, then it's a learning experience to do better later
Also, he already won a championship! They hasn't won in 50 years. That's a success already.
Why do people start off with I’m not a fan of this player like just type your shit no one cares 😂
This will be a failure if they don't fire Budenholzer
@@AustinMulkaMusic yeah but Lebron sucks cause he “only won 4” but going to the finals 10 times is literally insane. I just feel like people don’t get how much luck goes into it
@@TheLirJEt86 lots of just general stupidity, hatred, and ignorance honestly
Salute to Giannis man a real inspiration to me and many others👏🏾even in a frustrating situation he responds respectfully. Keep your head up young king you know what you do for your people and the world💯
This speech from the heart to me is more important and impactful than 10 championships......its legit made me rethink my definition of failing because I usually feel like one when I can't excel more.
Me too. I told my husband this almost word for word. This was remarkable sentiment
Its not even necessarily his words but how much he believed what he was saying. So good
This is such a great response not just for basketball but life. The reality of the situation is no matter how good you are only one team out of 30 can win it all. The Bucks did great things this year and while this series was an epic collapse it isn’t a failure on the season as a whole.
I shared that piece with my children last night. Thank you. It's steps to everything.
Love this dude. A great response
This was FAR from "heated". He was calm and poignant, clear and empathetic. He explained the lessons of life, stoically.
Thank you Giannis
Not everyone is a Bill Russell that could win 11 rings in 13 seasons
Plus Bill Russell's chances of winning were much higher because of fewer teams. Giannis has to play against 29 teams.
Failed
@@westheking12 You don’t play 30 teams in the playoffs lol. You only need to play against 4 teams in the Playoffs, it is if you reach the Finals
So the the two other seasons were a failure 😂
Bum ass dude lost 2 years
That's one of the classiest verbal beatdowns I've ever seen.
Never heard of this guy in my life but wow, what an eloquent answer he gave. Such a lovely fellow as well. I hope Eric was taking notes!
Wow... Giannis. I'm a fan now.
As a Celtics fan, Giannas is still one of my favorite players to watch me the guy is amazing off the court. This man does not deserve any of the hate he gets
Agreed. The only hatred I have for him is when my team plays against him, because of the beast that he is on court lol but got nothing but true respect for him as a person. Which I find is becoming more of a rare thing to feel with pro athletes nowadays.
That “I don’t wanna make it personal” just shows how giannis be a savage and a normal person at the same time. I love this king man Eric better get the promotion if he wanna ask tbst shit next year 😂😂😂😂
Shit had me crying
Giannis wanted to get up and smack that reporter so bad 💀
The reporter asked a very legit question. Ya just love softball questions
yawnis is soft
@@shaheedharun445 Sometimes people just need the word “consideration”. It’s totally free. Asking a tired player, who were just been eliminated, a question like that?, that reporter deserves a punch. What he supposed to do? Tell the world that losing is a failure?
@@lopezjoebin7020 No he didn’t the only way to ask a question is bluntly. And it was the only one to be asked! Considering they came in a #1 seed & best record & # title contender… then KO’d the 1st rd in 5 games. Ya are some flakes who prefer _SOFTBALL_ questions! They get richly paid to answer the hard questions too
GA’s answer simply offered a diff perspective but much needed for casual fans to see! THEY WERE BOTH RIGHT! GA’s answer simply could’ve skipped the attitude.. but I get it you’re coming off a tough loss, your season just ended! No one did any wrong here.
The reporter’s job is to probe the feelings of Giannis after a tough loss and get an honest, well-thought out response. This is what sells in the NBA & the NBA front office loves it
And the reporter asked if your SEASON is a failure? Not if as a player is a failure or the MIL organization is a failure. You just read the wrong way into it - when his question was quite clear
Ya are just thin-skinned.. expecting sunshine daisies and rainbows all the time.. and cripple on a brutally honest exchange. The reporter is a pro at what he does, been doing it a longtime, and has the *thick skin* for it unlike certain fans. He and Giannis will be back being friends tomorrow and it will only further motivate him
@@shaheedharun445 You don’t have to be hard as brick. A tough question needs a soft answer.
I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
-MJ
"and I'll call being a 1 seed losing to the 8th seed play in in embarassing fashion a definite failure" - mj
I don't follow basketball...but this man gave a life lesson!
Yeah
I'm not an NBA fan...maybe I should be. This is truly one of the most honest and profound things I have ever heard an athlete say. His story is incredible and improbable. His skill on the court are only exceeded by his passion, his heart and his excellence as a man and as a human being.
Kudos to you young man! Great job! It came from the heart.
Such an eloquent response after a tough loss. Then there’s Dillion Brooks whose too insecure to face the media
You only react to headlines which makes you look stupid when you realize who else has been skipping interviews after losses
@@MrSilus2000what headline? He does it every game, no matter what team you watch. The problem is that he stopped talking to media once Lebron chirped back
@@austinfischer985 I’m saying certain stars skip interviews and don’t get harassed for it
Much respect Giannis pure class
Giannis did not "call out" the reporter - he controlled himself despite his emotion and purposely AVOIDED calling out anyone, and still gave a great, memorable reply to the question; that's what makes this such an amazing, admirable moment.
I love how y’all posted the entirety of that situation! You don’t cut it after Giannis made it personal! You let him finish his thought a show the whole story! I love it!
They Won a Championship 2 Years ago.. It was Steps to get to that. Good Mindset to have. Trust the Process & keep taking Steps.. THIS Season was a BUST but theyll be Back & Do Better Next Year for sure..
Nick nurse as a coach would be beatiful.
Not a bucks fan but this guy is such a good dude!
That was a glimpse of greatness.
Lmao Giannis is coping so hard. They were the 1st seed and everyone thought they were gonna win the east. Ofc this season was a failure
Tbf u can only say that if u bet ur entire life savings on them winning. Bcos y not if u believe it was a 100% guaranteed outcome
I absolutely love his response to this question. He broke it down totally.
Respect level for Giannis X10
You know, Giannis is a true sportsman, family man, champion.. I dig him as an athlete more every year
You can't win the championship every single year, even the best teams and players ever. Losing in the playoffs isn't a failure it's just less successful than 1-8 other successful teams
All of you stop with this sh*t trying to defend this man. Success or failure is based on the result considering the expectations. The Bucks were the favourites and they lost to the 8th seed in the 1st round in 5 games, while being up double digits heading into the 4th qtr of games 4 and 5 and Giannis getting 23 free throws. It's a f*cking failure of highest proportions, he should admit it, accept it and learn from so that they can be better next time, that's how you handles failures.
Well said!! Very very good response
We're so lucky to have athletes like Giannis in sports ❤❤❤❤❤
After finally hearing the whole quote, with full context, I’m honestly in agreement with him.
Not sure where you get "Heated" from this interaction. His response actually felt very measured and eloquent, especially given English is not his first language
Why is Giannis so wise
He kept on talking in words that would not hurt the guys feelings
Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and now Antetokounmpo
Thats my boy Guannis Milwaukee did what a lot of nba teams can dream about soo hopefully In couple years they would bounce back, because of this guy and all Bucks team everyone knows Milwaukee and Wisconsin soo we cannot be more proud.
Eric next year...
Once is chance, twice is coincidence, third time's a pattern.
Lmaooo this the top comment I'm dying.
Best possible answer to that question. Congrats to Giannis for all his success thus far, and for being one of the best players to ever lace up!
Giannis is just as brilliant off court as he is on court. He used an ignoant question to teach us ALL a valuable life lesson. Actually several.
Even when Giannis is angry he's still respectful. How can you not like Giannis? He's super wholesome and a humble dude.
The word FAILURE sounds crazy … Giannis basically saying to the reporter: “What do you in your life where somebody can ask you was this year a failure for you?”
It’s the same message as Baker Mayfield’s “I would love to come boo you at your cubicle” response that many got mad at just in different words. I understood Baker’s msg much like GA’s
Failure is such a strong word to bring up after a big loss
@@austinfischer985 Okkk. He asked him a question.. Giannis can say no or yes. The #1 seed w/ the best record in the league got knocked out in 5 games. Many would absolutely call that a failure, but it’s a matter of opinion.. and he asked Giannis’s opinion. Stop being thin-skinned oversensitive snowflakes. It’s an HONEST question that’s been posed countless times to players n coaches in all sports! Some of you were born yesterday I see
And ya seem to think this question is harder on him than the difficult loss 🤣 🤣 He’s simply emotional after a loss as he should be. I don’t think Giannis is going to have hard feelings about it later on
@@shaheedharun445 yeah I know that’s why I said failure is a strong word for a competitor. It’s a common question to be asked when you don’t make playoffs, leave playoffs, or don’t win a ring. Dudes just tired of hearing it every year for all the hard work he put in
@@austinfischer985 Lmao all NBA players put in hard work! You sound ridiculous bro .. Giannis is the only competitor in the league?? It takes a competitor just to play in the NBA
No sorry OKC, Utah, Orlando, and Houston are not “failures” - being young building teams. Oth Bucks & Mavs and arguably the Cavs seasons ended in failure. You sound simple in the head
The Nets failed themselves w/ the Simmons’ trade. Failures happen in various ways & everyday. Ya *sensitive thin-skins” crawled out of a strange hole
[Kids are reg told they FAIL tests in school. Teachers inform a 2nd grade kid she failed a spelling test. And ya get oversensitive over this 7 ft. grown man millionaire of a VET 🤡 too funny]
Hopefully bucks comeback next year and win it all I want Gianni’s to succeed
Love this answer. Perfect mindset
No failures only winner winner chicken dinner 😂
Hes a legend. His response is amazing
I truly respected his answer...✝️
I know damn well Giannis remembered that reporter and saw him and thought “I swear if he asks me that shit again” lmao just by that initial response, he already called it
He knew it especially when he called him by name. Probably had the same outfit on.
It is failure in sports. That’s what sports is about failure and success
He's right though!! No one wins every year!! 🤷🏾♂️
His response here will take us far in life!!
Giannis is right
I really love this quote !! Really like what Giannis and I hope others get motivated by this speech.
Even that emotional state Still says sorry for making question "personal".Respect man.🫡.
Giannis Much Heart for your commentary! Outstanding position and handled this with TOTAL CLASS! Thank you!
Great response - and on the fly! This guy has a head on his shoulders.
I love him so much
The answer is yes, it was a failure. They were contenders and lost in the first round. He was in his feelings here
What a mature and productive insight for life.
What an incredibly intelligent and mature response, I don't watch NBA after Seattle got robbed of a team but I would be a very proud fan to watch this guy ball out on the court.
Gianni’s is such a humble player great response while maintaining composure 👍💪🏀
It’s a step to Success. Can’t agree anymore move on Giannis even though I’m not your fans but the passion and attitude wins my heart
Smart response by Giannis. I liked how he says setbacks can be steps to success and can actualy help you succeed in thr future.
Giannis real talked the reporter💯.
Class guy!
A total failure for the season base on expectation, a 1# seed lost to a short handed 8 seed, especially getting eliminated first round in 5 game. But NOT a failure in term of his playing career since he already won a chip. Lmao
Exactly
What’s more short handed than Giannis falling on his back? Miami still had their core every game. That being said the bucks and coach choked the last 5 minutes of the game.
@@stephenhill3134 no Tyler Herro the last several games
@@KernElliott if you are comparing Tyler herro to the absence of Giannis I’m out 🏳️. You got it champ.
@Stephen Hill Herro is a 20pts guy he aint no chump, Olidipo is a 11pts guy he's also not a total bench warmer, let admitted, the buck choke, they had Giannis for game 4, 5 and lost. They got to cocky thinking heat will be a push over and got cook by Jimmy bucket. Lol Giannis couldve try to play it game 3.
Respect!! You can understand that statement doing anything in this world at any job. But, playing sports helps you understand there is always another day. You don’t succeed everyday! You go back game plan and do something another way to try and be successful. That was great to hear!
More than player, a great citizen.
Every now and then i have to listen to these words
The guy is a millionaire coming from nothing Giannis you are a SUCCESS
I like Giannis a lot because he's a nice guy and one of the NBA's few humble superstars. Philosophically, I can appreciate his point about steps to success and not being able to win all of the time. But...I think Giannis is terribly wrong in saying the Bucks' season wasn't a failure. The Bucks had a great regular season, they were ranked #1 in the East and they lost, 4-1, to a #8 seed. That's only happened five times before in NBA history. If your team is on the wrong side of something that's only happened five times before, failure is an understatement.
I Love the mindset and the response!
Wow. Incredible response. ❤
Superstars in sport can never catch a break, before they have won a big title they are asked.
''Why haven't you won yet?''
After they have finally won a big title they are asked:
''Why aren't you winning more?''
This is just motivational for daily life. There may be hard/bad days, but it’s not a bad life. Make the most of everything. Sucks to see the bucks out, Miami played like they wanted a championship. Happy that Greek freak was able to play another one last game !
Giannis is the man. This exchange wasn't heated. Giannis was respectful and articulate. Go Bucks!
Very good answer from Giannis. Its a good way to look at life in general.
Losing in the first round in five games as the 1 seed is a failure. I love Giannis but WAKE UP
Great answer. Keep it up to next season.
Love this. So well said.
