What Kenny said really stood out for me. “When you win, you hurt yourself by thinking you’re doing everything right”.
True. That's why undefeated boxers having a hard time bouncing back when they taste that first L.
the US as a whole needs to remember that.
@@StevenSmith-ml6ni Sooo true.
@@mrdogfight1 this was the first thing that came to mind. A lot of young fighters lose once and never bounce back bc their mind is made up that they have no areas that need improvement.
Actually, what Kenny said was, “SOMETIMES when you win, you actually hurt yourself because you think you’re doing things correctly.”
And that qualifier ("sometimes") embodies a BIG difference, message-wise, compared to what you attributed as Kenny's statement. And, in my view...it's that oftentimes tendency to undervalue nuance that causes unjustifiable takes and perspectives to be framed. Omitting "Sometimes" where reiterating Kenny's opening statement imbued a very different...a critical difference...insofar as what seems credible as to what Kenny actually meant. Kenny in no way - and I'm convinced Kenny very deliberately attempted to make this clear - in no way was Kenny insinuating that winning always translates to self-inflicted harm...which is exactly what your inaccurate restatement of Kenny's remark reflected.
[I have to say...it bothers me how easily someone can find something they say being misquoted or misrepresented - and sometimes (not to say so in your case) misquoted intentionally, when repeated by others, that often leads to that someone having to defend something they never actually said or did in the first place.]
The way Giannis called the reporter his first name and the way he did not go personal is the reason why he's a definition professional athlete.
He took the high road almost went personal yet stepped on the breaks and then the ted talk.
Do you get promoted every year is not the high road
@@oddballskull1941 It was showing him the futility in his question.
no the reason why he is the definition of a professional athlete is because he plays a sport professionally
@Oddball Skull it's a great question to ask 🤔. Was not personal at all in the context. We all don't get promoted every year but we work hard at least I know that I do. I also know it's steps to success.
Shaq was talking about success in the NBA. Ernie, Kenny, and Charles were talking about how a person views success in their own life. Very deep. 👍
The main problem imo is that failure has such a strong, negative connotation behind it. Failure is 100% steps toward success, but it is still failure. If you expect to have a promotion this year but it's given to someone else, then you failed at getting that promotion (and that's completely fine). If you don't expect to be promoted but you work toward being better at your job and ultimately a promotion, you're not a failure because you didn't get that promotion. Giannis failed last year AND THAT'S OKAY, because failure is a step towards success in the future.
@@joeasuncion2891 I understand what you mean. 👍
Well the question the reporter asked was about the nba season not personal life.
Giannis not viewing this season as a failure is why he’ll never be a top 5 player. His mindset is what sets him apart from a guy like Jordan. If Jordan was this softies teammate he would have demanded he would be traded. Jordan would’ve said he was a failure the other 9 years.
@@michaelturley3457 lol Good point.
Great commentary. As a psychologist who only works with veterans, many who come to my office think similarly to Shaq, but they feel ashamed for the failure. We distinguish between a failed goal vs. a failed person in therapy all the time, as well as the definition of success. There are many ways to be successful, but usually it has to do with relationships, making good decisions/behaviors, and working hard.
Ugh!
Very well put
Failed goal is falling down.
Failure is not getting back up.
Shout out to the whole panel… Chuck for his humility.. Kenny for his ambassadory skills… Shaq for keeping it real and Big E for being the goat
Bucks season was a failure. Plan and simple. has nothing to do with "promotion" or "buying a big house". They didn't meet expectations and only won one game in the first round of the playoffs. If that isn't a failure then idk what is.
@@Lee-ic8lneven after that great speech you are right but maybe they can get it next year
Chuck for his humility, he just said he’s the most successful person in history😂😂
@@jasondye9565 one of🤣
@@jasondye9565 He said one of the most successful people in the world, is he wrong?
See, this is why I love this crew: this ain’t just a basketball conversation. This is a genuine life conversation about what failure is and how to handle it. I love all 4 of these guys perspectives.
Shaq is right too-- he's describing the pressure the elite athletes are under. It's enormous-- unimaginable to the rest of us.
Yeah, would they say that if it was kd saying it?
What a lot of people don't understand in the comments section is that looking purely at the failure to meet certain expectations or goals is very short-sighted in the grand scheme of things. That failure can only really happen once people lose all their ability to even have the will to realise their potential.
And that being at the bottom of the heap is sometimes the only way to realise your full potential.
@@SuperRobertoClemente i dont think it's quite so unimaginable, he means everyone goes through pressures to succeed from our families, friends, society
@@SuperRobertoClemente the money is also unimaginable
I love Giannis. Every quote of his is so deep and thought provoking. He’s got a great head on his shoulders
He’s got great big shoulders!
@@theojones2593 😄👍
Y’all really are fooled by this mama fake humbleness
@@goatstatusj5112and now he's quitting on his team
haha. gianis mindfucked everyone with his speech. It was a clear failure.
What Giannis said was definitely profound! What Kenny added is also very positive. Many people don’t seem to understand that “success” is a process. It takes steps to get to the next level in whatever you do. Keep working and remain steadfast! Success comes in many ways.
Your statement here is 100% percent true!
Success is a process that involves learning from failure or in the panels case learning from 'dissapointment' and improving upon that
It also happens to have some failures in the middle of the process lol
@@tyronenorth6644 disappointment is the feeling of failure...no one can avoid failure unless you do nothing, then you've failed to produce. Everything with humans won't always be positive some things will be negative.
You just speak normative Sharon. We dont want to hear any normative words.
Fail is fail. Giannis just fail.
I love how Shaq said “if you said I failed 16 years, you’re right” but if you actually tried to use that argument you’d know he’d bring his 4 rings up😂
Lol yeahhhh Shaq is definitely a "broken clock is right twice a day" kinda guy, but, when he's right, he IS right.
yepp
Truuuuthhhh
I got 4 rings and you have none
Shaq is still an immature child, Shaq would’ve taken insanely personally trying to bring up all his stats like he does on Twitter. Shaq is corny.
As a teacher coming off a tough week where I felt pulled in every direction, Chucks comments hit deep. I may not make lots of money but I know if I don't show up to work Monday, I let down 140 students and I know they need me. Thanks Chuck!
Fellow teacher here. I will let my students down by showing up. This week was awful. So no, I won't be there. Not next week. Maybe not ever again. And that's OK.
To me, you guys are heroes and at the top of list of most valuable people in society. I appreciate all of your sacrifices. Thank you!
Hey sorry cant help much but wishes you peace and joy everyday. May your soul be blessed
God bless y'all teachers out there shaping up our future! 💯
Go get em champ. Every student you get to the next level is a championship
What Charles said is glorious. It doesn't matter if you're a trashman, secretary, make a lot of money, etc. If you are a good person and do the best you can you are not a failure.
In my opinion success if what you have attained within. To have lasting happiness is to be a success.
Right. Not everyone can be blazing. Then we'd all be flash banged. Bring steadfast and having good moral character, attaining within as you said, is an invisible success. That is something you can take with you til the end.
This is such a mature response. You can tell he's still emotional about the end of the season, but offers such a good lesson for anyone watching (young or old) about how to interpret not hitting your goals.
no its not
@@docsamson8314 haha nope
It’s the response of a Beta. All the tools to be the GOAT but this weak mentality is why he will never get close and only has one ring and only got it because half the league was injured post 1 month covid offseason destroyed their bodies. He’s a loser in mentality.
This is why I prefer NBA on TNT than NBA on ESPN. Shaq, Kenny, Charles and Ernie don't just discuss the stats of the NBA games, they discuss the aspects of life regarding the sport. They're very fun, entertaining, and genuine with their comments. Real deep stuff.
Science vs spirituality, I'd compare it to.
Charles made a great point about how from a young age we are told materialistic things are tied to success. When in fact, it should be about being happy and content
Okay so you'll be fine with him using that as an excuse whenever he gets bounced in the 1st round in the next 5 years? Just asking tho
@@brightBoss go rewatch the video and reevaluate yourself, you didn't get the point.
@@alhassanebarry4596 what's the point lol. The dude just got bounced and said there's no failure in sports so y'all fanboying that man hard.
@@brightBoss Add "Not so" to the beginning of your yt name.
@@mj234eva 🤣
Giannis just picked up another fan. So measure and eloquently put and English is not even his first language. That was fantastic. Well done!!
I'm having a hard time at my work right now. Thank you Giannis and these guys their perspective made me realize that I'm not a failure but a work in progress. Greatest show in sports.
Dude, Chuck's response was one of those times where I couldn't stop nodding my head the whole time he was talking. Man was spitting truth.
I needed that too
Failure is a mindset. Like a saying goes," Either I win or I learn. I never lose." Looking at where Giannis has come from and where he is right now, he is absolutely right in saying, "these are not failures, these are steps to success."
!
Then where and when is the success
@@JKJK-lw8rm just go ask Giannis 💀
If the best team in the league loses to a play in team, it's a failure.
Stop moving the goal posts and making excuses, just because you like the guy. No one would let Lebron or KD get away with this soft/non competitive mindset.
@@BaithNa shut up 🤣🤣 you can take a loss and learn from it…not every loss has to be chalked up as a failure….that in itself can be looked at as a soft mindset if every time you come up short you consider yourself a failure like be for real right now y’all know what he’s saying
NGL this got me in tears because I’ve been feeling like a failure. Idk why I clicked on this video but this definitely helped me. Thanks guys
You doing better?
Just steps to success brotha. Don’t let it keep you down man keep your chin up
If you feel like one. You Are one
That part from 9:15 to 11:00 is some of the best conversation I’ve ever heard on this show.
I agree 100%. Thank you for pointing this out.
A lot of interviews seem scripted but Giannis shows by body language and vocal sound volume that he genuinely meant what he was saying. Respect for changing perspectives to fans
"vocal sound volume" is hilarious to me. the weird you want is amplitude
Bro #1 seed & Champion favorites just lost to a team that barley made the playoffs ‼️ Thats a embarrassment ‼️
And despite every negative emotion he was feeling, dude was still respectful enough to apologize. Class act.
This is a very good conversation
After Biden and his list of questions. Makes me believe it was scripture.....NBA is on this Satanism wave.
"Ernie's lost 25 STRAIGHT Emmys"😂😂😂 Gotta love Sir Charles and the crew. Great segment and even better breakdown
Failing is not the same as failure, you are only a failure when you stop working, competing, or trying. Remember we are always modeling and teaching our youth our next generation. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏾💪🏾
I'm glad Shaq took a back seat in this moment. You could tell that he initially wasn't getting the message that they were all getting at. But I think he realized it and he stopped talking.
To be fair, to be that big, that magnanimous, people are always gonna look at you and expect so much out of you. I'm not 7 feet tall; I couldn't understand
I love how Shaq brought the opposite perspective with his own nuance and it was also deeply inciteful too. And Kenny with his own perspective too. One of the great conversations on TV ever.
When chuck gives into the bigger picture, Shaq always follows
Insightful
He brought the truth which is it is a failure for the season.
@@ezwiderbeatz5590 as the great kobe said....failure doesn't exist..it's on your mind and how you are going to proceed it's gonna determine if it was a failure or a stepback!
And while normally they like to interrupt each other, this time around they treated this conversation with the respect it deserved: no interrupting, and listening to listen rather than to respond.
Man.... I aspire to be as secure and content with life as Chuck is. Love him.
True me too
Hey man, you absolutely can be. Remember Chuck said, anyone who is good at their job, has good character and supports their family is a true success. You can definitely get that!
@@Dryfter21 Yes. But i'm not as impervious to societal pressures as Chuck is. I really envy him for that.
Don’t even need money or notoriety to be secure and content in life. Sometimes more means less.
I mean he's also a beloved multi-millionaire and 6'9
Teddy Roosevelt..."Comparison is the theft of joy"!
Mark Twain..."A man cannot be comfortable without his own approval"!
"A tortured mind is an uncomfortable soul", is the thought thay came to me after listening to this segment and reading some of these comments. This most definitely was helpful to anyone who listened to Giannis as he was responding to the reporting, but speaking to humanity! It was great that you guys revisited this interview! Much love and respect to the four of you!
Giannis being very articulate. Props to him and his team!

😢 love it ❤
Sounds like a very good man. ❤
I love that these guys can disagree on something pretty serious, or at least seemingly disagree, and actually leave the conversation with more respect for one another. One of the many reasons they deserve another Emmy.
@Batx0123 Two things can be true at one time.
Giannis has a great soul.
Giannis deserves so much kudos for his answer. The way he answered, what he said, how he handled himself. The guy is all time.
haha no
This will still be worth revisiting 100 year from now.
A Gem from Giannis 💎♥️
When they lose again 😂
Maybe they will lose but he has a ring and is a HERO FOR KIDS TO LOOK UP TO. HE ONLY PLAYS THE HAME
@@coryalford5227 you got a good heart
Nobody will be able to revisit it lol. We will all be 💀
I heard that first from Kobe, no doubt he got some..
I lost a friend to suicide. He saw his close friends move forward while he stayed stagnant. I think failure is what made him do it and this talk hit. Thank you ernie for talking about this.
I lost a friend to the same thing. She had just interviewed as a nurse that morning
RIP
He was just weak. We gotta thin the herd.
@@ineedhoez nice bait
So would taking your own life be failure?
If a different player had said it, we might react differently. But Giannis plays every single minute with passion and dedication. His effort and commitment is beyond question, and everyone knows it.
i didntcare who said it he was wrong
A shout out to Gianni. His passionate response so thought provoking ❤
This is why you guys win Emmys. You’re talking about basketball but it goes beyond the sport and into life. Love this group man. Special people.
They win Emmy’s because of Charles. He is the bus driver
NBA 2 SAWFFFFFFT
@@jimmeh3948 Yeah, probably but much like their discussion of failure, they're all individually successful, which makes it the best show on TV.
I had a tough day at work, I felt like a failure I went to bed and woke up to listen to this. I was inspired I didn't feel like a failure I felt like I can improve and learning wasn't a waste of time ... this crew and gianis are amazing human beings
Some days are good days and some days are bad days. We all have those days. Keep your head up!
You’re gonna be great, Man✊🏿 don’t give up. I believe in you, because I used to give up on myself for majority of my life.
I’m 33 and finally starting to get it together.. you got this
I felt the same..i am grateful that giannis expressed it so eloquently
You'd achieve your goals bro! Keep going!!
Each day is a new day, another rung in the ladder; keep climbing, keep rising up - you got this 💪
Kenny said Giannis' comments were a TEDtalk. This video is the real TEDtalk. What a great conversation and message from everyone involved. We need more positivity in the media. And this should be sent for consideration for their Emmy because it will get them the win.
The Giannis comments where very inspiring. Failure is quitting before even trying. You win with grace and lose with dignity. This is what I like about Giannis, win or lose, always a positive attitude.
This segment is why this show is amazing. Take this, play it 10-15-20 years from now, it will still ring true.
2+2 = 4. This is why my comments are amazing. Take this, review it 10-15-20 years from now - it will still ring true.
So true!
You are right. Truth is truth.
This show deserves all the Emmys. Not just for being really funny, but knowing when to be serious and speak to people who aren't multi-millionaires on television or the basketball court.
That humility and accountability make this show the best!
Humor and genuine humility, go a long way 😊
Chuck did a interview and the 4 of them don’t collect their emmys. He said the behind the scenes crew have them, he doesn’t want the award.
If they get nominated and don't get it is that a failure?
This is why I absolutely love these men. This discussion transcends sports. It's about life. It's about lessons learned within sports that translates to lifes biggest hurdles and achievements. Love this crew🎉
Giannis’ opinion on failure/success was priceless. Makes you really appreciate and value a player like that. It may be a failure in the short run, but a success in the long run. It was an uplifting message overall and I know somebody somewhere needed to hear it. Love the takes from the panel as well. Simply put, there is no wrong answer. I’m kinda on Shaq’s side tho. As a competitor, it’s mission failed. But more so towards chuck and Kenny, it’s life lessons that you can take moving forward that can lead to bigger and better successes down the road.
haha no in sports you fail every game lost. it is just like that. not like how the reporter doesnt get a raise every year
As a Suns fan, who has despised Giannis for beating us in the finals, this answer from Giannis and the maturity he showed made me have so much more respect for him. He handled this question, which was definitely a passive aggressive question, perfectly. He showed grace, maturity, and professionalism in a time where most players don’t.
Easier to like an opponent when they show such weakness, I hated MJ and Lebron because they were unrelenting and a threat but I respect them now because I appreciate the work they put in. Giannis is just making excuses for his lack of work ethic when it comes to mastering free throws and jump shots.
who told you the suns are going to the finals they can't beat the warriors or lakers or even the 1st seed nuggets
He handled that question like a failure lol
you thought he would slap a reporter? he handed it normaly as we could expect normal pple would do and they failed. he is not a failure but they failed
Passive aggressive? Are we really becoming so soft as a society that we can't handle such a question? The Bucks were the 1 seed and just got gentleman's swept by the 8 seed. If that's not a failure, nothing is. That doesn't mean Giannis or the Bucks should be labeled failures. This season was a bust for them though. 💯
This episode just might win you the Emmy. Deep, insightful, inspiring.

Thanks Ernie, Chuck, Kenny and Shaq and the whole TNT crew for bringing this up in a conversation many can learn from. Everything we experience in life, good or bad, win or lose should not be considered a failure but part of the process we can lean from to make us better human beings. So being the best you can be regardless of which strata of society you're at is every person's unique gift to the world. Thank you once again Ernie and crew!
Such a profound panel. This was incredible enough to come back to it months later.
Love what Chuck said starting from 9:13. That mindset, stepping out of the norms that society brings you, will lead to a prosperous life. The end of this segment honestly made me feel great, this was a really informational conversation that everyone should take to heart. I love this show so much, I've been watching it since I was a kid, and I won't take it for granted.
Chuck mic dropped at that point. Success should not be measured by material things or if you are rich or not
agreed! We should be happy with our definition of success and not let others or society dictate our goals and happiness. as charles said if ur a trashman/woman be a great one, dont let others tell you otherwise. u didnt fail if u are trashman/woman. bless this this panel. love how they let each other speak freely about this. no judgement
But he as done nothing in his sport but make money so which is it
easy to say when you're rich...I promise you no homeless guy has pma
@@spitzrealist86 but in sport that is how we judge success, if you dont attain the trophies you failed, you are not a failure but you failed
This was a dope segment. They talked, they listened they expressed. Life is all about perspectives so often it’s the end goal we glorify but it’s the story that makes the ending worthwhile.
This was the greatest convo I've heard from these guys. I love how everyone went deep into this topic and sharing their opinion. It was really refreshing to hear all of this and I agree not everything is a failure. Disappointing season yes but not a failure. I love this show and it will always be my favorite.
I think we are looking at the word failure too holistically. The Season was a failure, Shaq is right, we fail at actions , but no man is a Failure. It's a wonderful life. ❤
This whole segment was so full of wisdom, from the press conference of Giannis to the discussion of this panel. It was super enlightning to watch!
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times I was trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've FAILED over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed." - Michael Jordan
And that's why he was the goat. He wasn't afraid to call it what it was, and that's why he worked hard so it can never be asked again
@@jeremiahsymonette4781 I wouldn't say giannis is necessarily "afraid" of failure either. he's probably one of the most hardworking players out there rn, so I don't believe that's a valid knock against him

Kenny tied everything up well, everyone held their own in this discussion, thats why this is the best basketball show on tv.
The amount of respect I have for this young man just went through the roof. Wow. I am stunned. Just an amazing human and what a refreshing take.
Yea. He's definitely a throwback kind of player with his attitude. Him staying in Milwaukee and wanting to get that city a chip, instead of taking the easy way out (like a lot of superstars these days) showed me everything I needed to know. Really wise young man and loved his take on this as well.
respect for a guy who can't even admit he failed?
@@buttman7830 man made 25 million this yr he gave his ALL it just wasn't his yr man yall got stop
I think you're missing the point. The reporter wasn't asking if giannis was a failure in life. He is strictly talking about basketball this season. Like Shaq said failure isn't always a bad thing.
@@buttman7830 Define failure.
If Giannis at the start of his pro career had a goal of winning one ring, who are you to say he’s a failure when he’s achieved his goal?
So because Michael Jordan didn’t win a ring every season he failed many times.
By your logic anything less than 100% success 100% of the time is a failure... do you understand how absurd that is?
Thank you for an incisive, adult discussion on the important concepts of success and failure in our society. Bravo to all of you...and especially, Kenny because I am a Tarheel fan and we need to hear this!
Giannis' interview needs to be played in all classrooms
Thank you so much Ernie, Chuck, Shaq, Kenny and the rest of the Inside Crew for consistently bringing up thoughtful and timely discussions that seek to reunite people not only in the USA but everyone else on this planet. You guys bring so much joy and wisdom to the world that needs to hear it. The best to ever do it.
This is funny because they also were just talking about Shaq farting a couple nights ago lol
Crazy a basketball talk show can make a grown man cry a little. These guys truly deserve all awards every year.
But they failed this year lol
corny lol just a guy who failed as the best team and player in the league, colossal fail
👌🏼
The comments and sentiment Giannis made is actually not that uncommon to think. Every time someone asks, "Is this player a failure for every season they didn't win?" and the overwhelming majority say, "No." because of course they're not. Of course, we're always talking in retrospect of a player's career. I'm sure people in 1991 were skeptical and critical of Jordan's career as a winner when he hasn't won yet and is finally in the Finals against the Lakers against a team that has proven winners and Magic and Kareem had won all of their titles to that point. But seeing MJ's career from 2003 onwards makes it obvious it wasn't a failure. He's called by the majority of fans even today as the GOAT. This season by Giannis and the Bucks was for SURE a failure, they're the no. 1 seed and lost to an 8th seed lol. That just doesn't happen often. But, when Giannis retires, I'm sure that season won't even matter, he'll have multiple titles to his name.

This whole conversation is so down to earth and extremely relatable to everyday folk, love it.
Love how you bring out and discuss serious issues about life not just sports.
So many people were helped by the Milwaukee Bucks players answer about success and failure.
Thank you so much!!!😊
Giannia is such a beautiful human being, shaped by adversity to have that will to be the best version of himself, to make no excuses. Young people should hear what he said last night. Such positive attitude and wisdom for somebody that young. Kudos to the wise commentary from the Inside the NBA team!
yeah right promote failure! that’s why people don’t succeed because of your mentality
chuck nobody brought up is giannis a failure in life they failed point blank period
Agree he is a good role model, but this isnt kids or highschool basketball where everybody gets a medal!!! they get paid millions of dollars to try and win and when the reporter asked was the "season a failure" what he meant was the bucks were the number 1 seed projected to go to the finals and they lost to literally to the 8th seed with 1 guy "jimmy" in 5 games. Giannas should've answered YES, this season was an epic failure
If anybody missed his appearance on 60 minutes when he was first in the league it's worth watching. This guy is very easy to root for no matter what team you love.
@@dzknutzzz3449 here we go with the millions of dollars trope
@vince11baller harris am i wrong? do they not get paid millions of dollars to play and succeed at basketball? did they not get molly wopped by the 8th seed one man band team? or do you think their season was a success this year, because "we're all winners"!!!!!
Giannis was so impressive how he composed himself
This is for sure one of the best take if not the best I’ve seen and heard in a while. These gentlemen even funny and goofin around most of the times can be a great source of wisdom. Kudos to you four! Now back to being silly.😅
I've watched this multiple times already and played it to my peers. One of the most moving segments ever in this show history.
Not really. 5 year old understand this. Giannas is successful at life but the season was a failure. It's not that serious.
The irony of both Shaq and Chuck being completely right but having starkly different answers and perspectives on the situation
Shaq is wrong because he thinks he won. He didn’t win. His team won. He didn’t lose either. His team lost 16 times.
I was actually surprised that I agreed w both lol, they had opposite opinions and somehow both completely legit feedback
@@firstlast9916 Shaq is right. But guess what, Chuck and Kenny are also right. Shaq is talking about an OBJECTIVE FACT. Main goal in sports is to compete and win a championship. If you don't win, you lose. Success is defined by acomplishing your goal. Regardless of how anyone FEELS, if you don't accomplish your goal, you failed. That's a fact. It's that simple.
Chuck and Kenny, just like Giannis, are coming from a SUBJECTIVE OPINION. It's almost impossible to have a wrong opinion. It's an opinion. It's all SUBJECT to the individual's perspective. You can agree or disagree with it. There's no right or wrong answer there.
Shaq: 50% of the glass have water in it.
Chuck: The glass is half empty.
Kenny: The glass is half full.
All are correct.
@@boombastik3584 nope. They are all wrong. Teams win and lose. The team is a unit. Only one championship trophy is available each year. Your team has to be healthier, faster, smarter, more organized, more athletic, stronger or a combination of each of those things that is better than all the other opponents.
Example: shaq, Kobe, Karl Malone and Gary Payton were on one team in 2004. But they lost to the pistons. The pistons had a combination of things that worked great against the super talented lakers.
Shaq has zero championships. So does Jordan and lebron. Zero.
@@firstlast9916 Is Shaq, Jordan and LeBron a champion?
I’ve listened to this a couple times already and it is very insightful of the guys and shows their humility
" Failure does not exist" - Kobe Bryant
He absolutely right! If you are trying to accomplish anything. You can not fail until you stop trying. Failure is the criticism of an outcome.
"Doing the best you can" refutes that
The reality is that you will fail though. That’s a part of life not just basketball. Is it a winner mentality to say that? Absolutely but Giannis is perfecting his craft. Mind you, Kobe did have bad games to but he didn’t let their define him and that’s exactly what Giannis said. Failure is a step towards success.
@@H3artNSoul your right but what you are eluding to more is disappointment, more so than failure. It's a disappointing season for the bucks but not failure. I'm basing my opinion solely on effort put into season by Milwaukee
Imagine lebron saying that after losing to mavs lol. Nobody Said giannas was a failure at life .
@@lowh9330I mean disappointment can't exist without expectations, I guarantee each team has that goal to win a championship and be the very best player they can be. I'm sure that's a goal for everyone who's in sports. If not, why else are they there when they can simply play somewhere else
@@justinterry7853 very understandable point💯
Discussions like this are what separates this show from others. Wisdom. From men who all came from humble backgrounds and achieved the American dream. Insightful stuff.
What a great discussion. Inside the NBA is one of my favorite shows to watch during the season.
This was such a great segment. Glad you guys went back to it to dissect further. Best part being that you all had different and valid reasonings on how you felt about Giannis' thoughts. Props to the producers also for giving this much time on the topic.
I feel like I lean both ways. With Chuck, if you look outside the game, there is no failure. You get to provide for your family playing the game of basketball. And he's right, he is quite successful despite no winning a ring For Shaq, I also get his view. #1 seed, top 3 in the MVP race all year, going out first round could be looked at being a failure as many had them winning a ring again. Whereas other teams, not winning may not be looked as big a failure (if a failure at all) if there weren't really in contention to begin with/rebuilding/retooling/etc. For the Bucks, they were basketball the best the entire way through.
But props to Giannis also for even speaking beyond the usual canned answers. I'm sure the question was just meant to be the standard one you hear every year, but appreciated his response.
How can you not cheer for Giannis?
He seems like a wonderful and humble person. Money and success only elevated those qualities.
He is one of a kind
He's a trash basketball player who fouls and travels his way to the hoop. Can't even shoot the ball, pathetic player.
The only superstar who gets this kind of discourse after being bounced in the 1st round by a 8th seed😂
Pretty unbelievable how easy is to manipulate yall
@@revengeszn8739 That triggered tf out of you. Go outside and play.
@@Concrete.Ro5e nah he's right if this was KD or Bron they would have everyone on sports shows talking about the failure non stop, there's a lot of bias here
@@raulromero2948Steph/KD/Bron would get flamed so hard for this. In fact in 2011 LeBron said a similar thing after losing the finals, only with a bit more arrogant tone, and he got FLAMED!
That's how great Giannis is, one statement leaded this whole show to become serious and preach truth and humbleness we all needed to hear
Giannis the statement you made was for the world to witness! Thank you for the light you gave to the would in that conversation. God bless you and your family!
Great show! Love the fact they went back to it to acknowledge and go deeper into it. Greetings from Nicaragua
This is flat out real conversation from both Giannis & the TNT Crew. Hats off to you guys. We need this kind of conversation on a regular basis.
😊💯🙏🏼
Westbrook tried to have this conversation, Kwame has tried to have this conversation, what's so different here other than a different basketball player?
This was one of the best segments of this show I have ever seen. Well done from everyone involved and thank you to Giannis for speaking truth towards a status quo that corrupts more than builds.
I 100% agree with what Giannis and the crew said. His individuality isn’t a failure; the playoffs were. Saying the season was a failure negates the wins they accomplished. From nail biter games to completely destroying the other team. Saying the season is a failure because they didn’t win the championship is also a matter of perspective. Some people that play in the NBA just love basketball. They love the competitiveness of the sport while others truly want to be a force to be reckoned with and be the best player in the world. Then there is Giannis. I like to believe he’s a combination of both. He wants to be the best player in the world and wants to improve his game everyday while also genuinely having fun playing it. It’s all about perspective and given Giannis’s background and how he came to be; he’s far from a failure. Does he want another ring? Absolutely but as long as he kept the perspective of some days are good and others are bad he remains grounded to reality and is being humble. Kobe, Jordan, Chamberlain, Shaq and James all have had bad games so what did they do? Perfected their craft and it shows. Giannis is perfecting his craft but it seems nobody is giving him the credit where it’s due. I promise you he will have another championship.
Everyone can form their own opinion about this but i for one think giannis gave a very mature answer and put it very eloquently
Giannis is much wiser and mature compare to his past recent years. The man is a role model and what a professional athlete all about. You could tell his attitude is not American raise but traditional from his root. As for all the legends on the panel, much respect to them and their perspectives on the topics. Thank you Ernie, Charles, Kenny and Shaq for this incredible episode. MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
You can tell Giannis wasn't born in America if all you knew about him was the text of what he said. I was born in Tennessee, but I lived overseas for 13 years, and traveled the alot of the poorer parts of the world.
The culture is the US has devolved in my lifetime. We are doomed if we don't change how Americans view hard work and sacrafice. Life isn't supposed to be easy.
How can you tell that it isn’t American?
Finally someone said this. You can tell so clearly giannis didn't grow up American. You don't find these attitudes and perspectives here.
@@haidermaan8851yes you do. It's common. Go outside of cities. Welcome to America, where its more than just cities and leftist activits.
@@oc2108 It ....AIN'T EZEE
I cant remeber the 1st round of playoffs being this exciting and entertaining. Really enjoyed the 1st round
Same 🙌👌
Wow! Giannis! Thank you. Youre not only a great athlete, but an inspirational speaker as well. You speak from the heart. God bless…
Phenomenal episode guys, really touching and hugely insightful to hear all the different, yet similar points of views on what defines failure.
"As long as you try Your best, you are never a failure. That is, unless you blame others." John Wooden
The best team in the NBA getting beat by an 8th seed a play in team is a total failure

Barkley is a hypocrite
@@wittypoker 🤡
My favorite Coach of all time.❤️
@@darkelzsmith3564 If that is your definition of failure, you should go for math not sports.🙄
THIS WHY I LOVE THESE GUYS... Everyone had valid point. Shaq stuck to his view and did not waiver and they contributed honest thought provoking dialogue...We don't always have to be right and two truths can also exist...Excellent example of a conversation unlike the VIEW where everybody is yelling and trying to force people to conform...Kudos Guys LOVE YALL...
This is why I love Inside the NBA, because sometimes it’s absolutely hilarious but sometimes they get serious and have some very wise words to share.
this is my fav vid on this channel and i find myself coming back to it all the time
Kenny said the Realest Stuff from (7:47-8:13) I hope everybody can replay that part and really listen. He had the best take to me. I really needed to hear that 🙌🏾. Also SHAQ saying “failure isn’t always a negative connotation” 💯
Failure boy
@@jcheezi what you said?
Kenny OG
Kenny can go deep when he wants to.
It was a bit of word salad but his message was very important
I’m a Celtic but I love Giannis.. I love it when good people call out the media dogs. He’s a good man.. and I hope he keeps fighting the good fight ❤️❤️❤️
I just love this show show much for revisiting this conversation. It's just so deep and profound talking about mindset and positivity. ❤ Do your best and always think onwards.
This is the best conversation these guys have ever had on the show. Different perspectives, all of them valid, and all supported by rich personal backstory. A great dialogue about what it means to try, fail, and succeed, in the league, but also in life.
Giannis just made them have the most philosophical discussion they ever had on this show. I call this a success That discussion alone will get you the Emmy
One of the best recent segments in Inside. Giannis is a treasure and is the modern day Barkley
Agreed this was one of the best segments on sports probably ever with the contrast of Shaq and Charles but reaching a common goal that is shared with the emotions of a viewer
Agree
He's better than Chuck
Loved the response. Chuck’s and Shaq’s thoughts were very interesting. Great show!
What is astounding is that young man gave that response Live... No preparations no promts... Thats is a man with real values and a higher perspective in life. Refreshing.
And about this show, we dont get it in India , however, its my morning drug everyday on youtube... simply the best
I felt the love when Chuck said Ernie is the best. The respect this crew has for each other, but especially Ernie is so heartwarming
This is hands down the best sports talk show ever and it’s not even close. I came away from listening to this segment and felt so refreshed. Ernie and this crew is special especially for discussing a topic like this one.
It's going to be heartbreaking once either of them leaves the show permanently....😢
@@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZ I was just thinking that - who could even replace any of the guys? Only one I feel could fit right in is Chris Webber - but that's because he's been on with Chuck in place of Shaq. Baron Davis replaced Kenny a couple times...but who could replace Ernie? It will be a sad day when they leave
@@iTROLLxTHExTROLLZI don’t even watch basketball but these clips of these 4 are amazing to watch. It will indeed be sad when “they” retire.
