I generally like Stephen, too. But this is annoying as hell, and I let him have a piece of my mind:
@stephenasmith hey man, shut up about Giannis going to another team. That’s a real dick move on your part. He’s a Buck, and Milwaukee has the best record in the NBA. The team around him is good, and deep. What you THINK he deserves is irrelevant. This narrative “he should play in a larger market” is just flat wrong. He deserves to play where he’s happy, and all indications are he’s happy in Milwaukee. Can’t you just watch him play, and let Bucks fans, and NBA fans enjoy him where he is? What does a bigger market gain him? More exposure? More money? You talking heads drone on and on about him enough as it is. And he’s going to get more money than he can spend in a lifetime if he stays. Milwaukee is a great sports town, and Wisconsin’s a great state for sports. We support our teams year in, year out. The Brewers have had the best home attendance per capita of any team in Major League Baseball. How long have home games at Lambeau been sold out? How long is the Packer season ticket waiting list? Meanwhile, you have a large market like Los Angeles that can’t keep a damned NFL team. Large markets aren’t everything. Milwaukee, by percentage, has the 4th best attendance in the NBA. He plays in a brand new, beautiful arena. You disrespect the fans of Wisconsin with your ridiculous musings. Enough, already! We absolutely love having @Giannis_An34 in Milwaukee. We appreciate how hard he plays, and how much work he puts in to make himself a better player. We want him to win and enjoy his life. Why don’t you let the man decide what is best for himself, and his family? #NBA #ESPN #Bucks #Giannis #FearTheDeer @bucks @NBA @ESPNNBA
