Seeing Kevin Love with gray hair has really made me realize...I'm getting grey hair too. Life is ending and we're all going to die. I swear this guy was a young star just yesterday.

It makes me feel good that he has the gray hair going, and ive got no gray hairs and all my hair despite being older than him lol

I knew a guy who was 28 and almost completely gray.

For sure…there’s some really unfortunate outliers out there. I had a buddy that by the time he was like 14, had the horseshoe balding going on already. We would send him into gas stations to buy beer…nobody ever carded him lol

Well it’s official. Caruso really is the MVP

Thanks to finally having the GOAT Caurso back, we won a game at last. What a difference maker

I guess Alfonso guards Giannis?! Yikes…

ESPN?

There is not a single player on this team right now who could guard Giannis. Even a healthy PWill wouldn't stand a chance imo

 

[Enasic]

Can anyone guard Giannis? Though undersized, green might have the most success if he were healthy. He would really get into him and play him a lot tougher than Williams, IMO.

 

[knoxville7]

Like I get what yall are saying regarding guarding Giannis. But, I do think there are guys that could do a better job than Alfonso. Like sure, Giannis will get his triple double either way, but the amount of effort/shots to get there can vary depending on whomst is guarding him

Watch Al hold him to 10 points and 8 boards lol

I’ll buy a Fonz jersey if he does that without Giannis getting hurt lol

I mean the only players with the length to guard him are McKinnie, DJJ (injured), PWill (injured), Tyler Cook (lol), and then you start getting into guys like Tony Bradley or Vuc himself who are too slow. TBJ can try but he's a bit small. Similarly if Javonte or Lonzo were healthy they have the same problem.

Giannis is just a ridiculous matchup for any team. Imo you'd need a guy like AD or KD to actually match up with him 1on1 legitimately. Else it's just a team effort. He's just too hard to guard

Bucks by 67, Giannis with a 50 point triple double.

Agreed, that’s what I’m saying. But, there are degrees of greatness…and certain defenders would get dominated a little less than others...and yes, I understand the team defense notion. There is still going to be a “primary” defender on him when he’s on the court, unless bulls go full zone all game long lol
