17.3 points, 5.8 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 0.8 steals, and 1.5 blocks in his last four games.
Before a game on Christmas against the Pacers, Bird told Chuck Person that he had a present for him. During the game, Bird shot a 3-pointer in front of Person. Immediately after releasing the ball, Bird said to Person, "Merry F!#*ing Christmas!" and then the shot went in.

Meh, who needs Giannis when we've got the guy who put up an air ball at the end of Friday's game.

At least Olynyk makes a mean workout video.

I like Olynyk but Giannis will end up being a much better player.

Maybe he will but right now stats wise he and Olynyk are almost the same across the board except that Giannis averages two more points.

If people didn't state their opinions on a sports forum we'd have nothing to talk about. So should we just all wrap this up, agree to disagree and go home?
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

Nah.  Just thought it was a funny picture that went along with JonnyCC's prediction.

I'm glad he appreciated the joke.

and Giannis is 4 years younger, much more athletic and projects to be a better defender .

I still like KO though , just not as much as Giannis

Giannis can score 50 tonight for all I care as long as the Clipps lose.

Doesn't mean he's the better player now.

Bucks remind me of the Celts... I would let Giannis (Kelly for us) touch the ball every time down, neither team listens. No one on the Clips can guard him and the Bucks don't go to him enough. Dumb.
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)
