Bobby Portis on whether Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a great coach: ‘I’m calling the cap’

MONews

question: Do you think Giannis Antetokounmpo will be a great coach one day? So why? Bobby Portis: I called Cap. I’m going to call Cap right now. I’m just calling Cap, he’s just talking. Giannis knows how to promote media and he knows how to distribute these different types of information. I’m going to call Cap now. He will be somewhere in Greece with the 100 children he will have and they will be comfortable. He said about Tim Duncan, ‘Where’s Tim Duncan? We won’t see Tim Duncan, we won’t see Giannis.’

Even if you miss Dame Time and Giannis, don’t call them Bambis. The Bucks made that point very clear in their win over the Bulls at the United Center on Monday.

Health comes first. But I love watching Giannis and Lillard hoop. As a fan, I’m disappointed, but there’s a good chance the Bulls can get their second W this season against Milwaukee. The two teams meet again on Saturday. United Center – 2:03 PM

Time flies: Bobby Portis is in his 10th year (!) and has a season-high 34 points for the Bucks. I caught up with the former Bull after the shootout. Tune in to @CHSN__ tonight to hear his perspective on how the Bucks turned their season around and his memories from his time in Chicago. – 1:26 PM

Tonight in Chicago the Bucks play their final game before Christmas.
But as the holidays approach, we still don’t know why Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Bucks were left off the NBA’s Christmas schedule.

The Milwaukee Bucks, who have played nationally televised games on Christmas Day for the past six seasons, will not play this Christmas. Given a chance to ponder why the Bucks weren’t one of the 10 teams invited to the NBA’s biggest regular season party this year, the Bucks’ eight-time All-NBA forward believes he’s figured it out. “I’m a little upset or have questions,” Antetokounmpo told The Athletic. “But I believe there will be algorithms within the NBA that will show who the most attractive teams are and which teams are getting the most attention to play in the Christmas game.” – through new york times / December 23, 2024

Bobby Portis on Lakers rivalry: ‘It’s always a fun game to play. Last year our game really tanked. In fact, both games were lost by 3, 4, or 5 points or less, so it was a great game to play and obviously this is a very important moment for coach Darvin Ham. So I think our players will be excited for him to go out and dub. On the other hand, they will be fired up and their coach will not want them to beat, so it will be a really good game. TV. Hopefully that game is out there somewhere in the country, I think it’s a great storyline and a great game to follow. This should be a good game as it’s a good matchup against two veteran traditional teams and two playoff style teams. I hope it gets broadcast somewhere and the world can see us playing basketball. I love that type of game and I love the competitive spirit. ‘One of my greatest qualities and characteristics as a player is my competitive spirit and I live for that type of game.’ – through youtube / December 25, 2024
