    I know that those shoes aren't designed for me, but they just look like they were designed in 1983 and should be in the next Run DMC video.

    Two. That's why I have no interest in shoes.

    Umm Giannis won a championship less than 4 years ago and scored 50 points in the deciding game. Finals MVP. In his 8th season with Middleton as his 2nd best player. LeBron won his first in his 9th season with Wade as his 2nd best player. Giannis is Top 3 player in the league. 3rd best PER. Two time regular season MVP. Bucks never should’ve traded Jrue for Dame. That’s their problem.

    Giannis is the one who should be annoyed. Watching his defensive ace going to win another title in Boston.

    they won the championship 5 years ago....5 years. In the 2 years after that, the Bucks, with Jrue, were beat in the 2nd round and then had a 1st round exit. Their problem isn't Dame, it's that their supporting cast is aging out and gone. When they won the title, Middleton averaged 20.4 points over 68 games and DiVincenzo averaged 10.4, and Forbes averaged 10. This season, Middleton averaged 12.6 in only 23 games while DiVincenzo and Forbes are gone

    when they won the title Holiday averaged 17.7 pts; Dame is averaging 8 more at 25.1. Jrue had a winshere/48 of .165; Dame's at .182. Jrue's BPM was 3.4; Dame's is 3.9. Jrue's career BPM is 1.6; Dame's is 4.6

    when they won the title Giannis was healthy down the stretch and in the playoffs. Last season he was not healthy down the stretch and didn't play a minute in the playoffs. And he's already missed 12 games this season and may miss at least a dozen more

    you've turned into a real snarky Dame-hater...did he shoot your dog on the way out of town?

    I seriously doubt they traded Jrue for Dame without Giannis knowing it was coming.

    Giannis is a fantastic player. He’s a superstar. There’s not much physically that he can’t do on a basketball court. My point, though, is that LeBron just knows HOW to play the game and make his teammates better. To put it in your world, Giannis is George Clooney. He can draw big crowds to a movie and gives a good performance. LeBron is DeNiro. He knows everything about his craft and gives a magnetic performance. He also knows how to make his costars give their best performance.

    These are OG Adidas Superstars FAMS! Otherwise known as as ShellToes. Arguably the most popular shoe ever made. These are special DameTime editions! I was lucky enough to land a pair.

    I think I'd go with the traditional meaning of both bad and ass

    So much wrong here. Where to start? The Bucks won LESS than FOUR years ago. Just 3 years and 8 months ago. DiVincenzo was injured in the first round and didn’t play the rest of the playoffs. Anyone with eyes can see that when it comes to winning a championship, you’re better off with Jrue than with Dame. Jrue even beat Dame head to head. There’s no comparison. Better defender. More versatile. Doesn’t NEED the ball to be effective. Defense wins championship. It’s ok to be critical of Dame, dude. He doesn’t play here anymore.

    If Jrue is so instrumental in winning championships why did it take till his 12th season before he won one?

    mainly because he was the 3rd best player on the team. Last year in Boston, he may have been the 4th best player on the team behind Tatum, Brown. and White

    I wonder how many championships Dame would have won if he would have been the 3rd best on his team

    lol....yeah, I know that's your M.O.
