GIANNIS ON ELEMINATION

The Heat put forth an impressive performance to defeat the Bucks 4-1 in the series. Antetokounmpo spoke to the media after the game, but he didn't seem pleased with a particular query that was made to him. He was questioned by a reporter if the current season had failed. The Greek Freak continued to use his failure example to instruct the reporter, earning praise from the NBA community in the process.

Shaquille O’Neal empathizes with Giannis Antetokounmpo 

The entire sports world has accepted Giannis Antetokounmpo's eye-catching statement as scripture ever since he uttered it. The Bucks star basically argued that there are just good days and poor days in athletics, not failure. Shaquille O'Neal provided an intriguing response to his claim on Inside the NBA. He said, “Is the season a failure? Yes. Are you a failure? Hell m-f no. You’re the best player in the world. But before you succeed, you must first learn to fail… It’s okay.” 

Barkley’s take on the statement

Moments after the statement on Wednesday, Barkley made his opinion. He said, “I agree with Giannis, they just got beaten, you don’t always win… Shaq played how many years and he won 4 championships, I don’t think he had 15 years of losing.”
