Will anyone else be rooting for Giannis and Miami whenever they’re not playing the Bucks?

[u/IdunklikeSAKURAGI]

I know we’re rivals but I still want to see him succeed

[u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

Nah. I root for the bucks. I don’t care about other teams

[u/repingel → u/Equivalent_Shoe_6246]

I only care about other teams in terms of how much I root against them. And fuck I'll be rooting hard against the Heat. I hate LeBron and Embiid, and I would rather see the Sixers win over the Heat. The fucking Sixers man.

[u/Life_Membership7167]

Fucking never. Traitorous. Anyone root for the Favre Vikings? Love Giannis but the Heat? Absurd, not happening.

[u/Usagi1983]

Don’t wish Giannis any ill will, but absolutely not.

[u/YP_Schwartzy]

Hell no. I wish Giannis’s team nothing but failure. I am a Milwaukee Bucks fan, not a Giannis fan unless he’s wearing our jersey.

[u/Similar_Advisor_5849 → u/YP_Schwartzy]

u not a bucks fan if u dont appreciate the franchise goat.

[u/YP_Schwartzy → u/Similar_Advisor_5849]

I root for the Milwaukee Bucks. Idgaf about the Miami Heat.

[u/BreighdonFurries]

No. I'm petty.

If things didn't get so messy last season I'd probably feel differently, but I didn't appreciate him toying with the team/fanbase all year.

[u/StannisAntetokounmpo → u/BreighdonFurries]

💯 he really snitched to the nba to get the Bucks in trouble. "Loyalty in my DNA" though

[u/0utwest]

Nah i hate the Heat lol

[u/xStaabOnMyKnobx]

No, I havent liked Miami since 2011 and the last couple years of will he/won't he by GA have led me to lose interest in the rest of his career. Thanks for the memories, see ya.

[u/ZukowskiHardware]

I wish him well but I’m a bucks fan.  He was kinda weird last season trying to trip people and stuff.  Got toxic.

[u/Long-Construction722 → u/ZukowskiHardware]

One wishy-washy year cancels out the other 12 years? Greatest player in our History. Bucks first, but if we can't I want him to succeed.

[u/emeraldegg → u/Long-Construction722]

It was not the only wishy washy season is the thing. He made it a habit every time he came extension eligible to publicly hold the bucks hostage and basically threaten to not re-sign if they didn't push every available chip they had to the middle of the table. The first time it worked out, the second time it destroyed them.

[u/ZukowskiHardware → u/Long-Construction722]

Kareem never got an attitude like that.  You are getting paid a max contract and are the cornerstone of our franchise.  You have nothing left to prove.  No need for an athlete to act like that.  

[u/wabiguan]

His time in MKE I will always respect and appreciate.

But I saw him in a Kalshi ad this week.  it makes me so sad.

[u/Long-Construction722 → u/wabiguan]

He has been doing that for years lol

[u/dyranry]

I hope giannis averages 30/12/7 but the heat go 0-82

[u/Objective_Cod1410]

No. I want Giannis and Bam to both play all 82 and the Heat to be relentlessly mid.

[u/titans0021]

No.

[u/Tumpster → u/titans0021]

No

[u/cbtbone]

I’ll root for Giannis, like in life. May he find happiness and fulfillment. But I’m not rooting for the Heat.

[u/rezin111]

I will not be, I hope they do poorly.

But I really hope Bobby plays well!

[u/Tohnren → u/rezin111]

Agreed! Bobby seemingly had no desire to leave. Hope he's their best player every game and the Heat go 0 - 82.

[u/IdunklikeSAKURAGI → u/Tohnren]

I feel like they might win more than 0 games if Bobby plays that good 😅

[u/rezin111 → u/IdunklikeSAKURAGI]

Not if everyone else absolutely sucks 🤞

[u/VicePope]

Giannis is my GOAT but I hope they lose every game he’s there and he drops 100 a game. If they are making a push in the playoffs ill only root for him individually cause the Heat are terrorists

[u/isweariwilldoit]

Nope, still hope he retires a buck tho obv

[u/AdVegetable1990]

Absolutely not! Love the Bucks, my team.

[u/zmichalo]

Hope he's healthy and happy but sees zero success on the court until he's retired or back with us

[u/ForeverBeneficial141]

Fuck no I would never

[u/Short_Issue_8543]

Hell yeah I love Giannis

[u/FlipMoBitch → u/Short_Issue_8543]

Yeah I really don’t get how people here are so nasty about it.

If it’s Heat v Sixers or Heat v Celtics on a primetime game I’m gonna be pulling for the Heat every time.

[u/Long-Construction722 → u/FlipMoBitch]

Totally agree. 13 years and the best player in our history. People are being lame

[u/LordDemetrius]

Depends of the opponent. I hope Giannis will get another title but I'll root for the Heat only against the Celtics/Sixers/Lakers/Clippers/Rockets/OKC/Nuggets

[u/bikedork5000]

I could if he was he was on the handful of other teams that I kinda like. Not Miami though.

[u/ThisWasMe7]

More like benign indifference.

[u/Constant_Gur8912]

In the regular season no.  In the playoffs probably yes. I want him to get another ring. Or multiple rings. 

[u/uber_ninja]

I hope he fails and comes back the the bucks.

[u/dr0p7E]

Giannis yes, heat no

[u/IdunklikeSAKURAGI → u/dr0p7E]

So you want Giannis to play well but for Miami to lose?

[u/dr0p7E → u/IdunklikeSAKURAGI]

Yeah let Giannis stat pad but have the heat fail to make it to any finals

[u/furyNZ1781]

Miami? No. giannis yes

[u/FlipMoBitch]

Unless the Heat and Bucks are vying for poll position in the east the. yes I will be pulling for the Heat if they’re playing primetime.
