Default I hate to say it, but Giannis cards are about to tank...

The guy has so much raw athletic ability however he doesn’t have what it takes to be an all time great. He’s still young, I know. Yes, his stats are great yet he can’t lead a team deep in the playoffs and doesn’t play great defense. I have invested a ton in Giannis the past 3 years but he hasn’t really taken the leap that shows me he will win multiple rings. He’s shut down or maintained well in the playoffs by a opposing teams and doesn’t really make his teammates better. My opinion- many are seeing this and the market will be flooded soon with his cards and we should see prices decline...

Too much younger talent in the league right now .

He's already a 2 time MVP and virtual HOF lock.

But there's a very, very fine line between the one team that wins a championship vs. the other 31 squads.


It ain't easy. And none of these young stars are guaranteed a ring, regardless what Prizm prices and hopium may dictate.

His team let him down in game 1. This is a ridiculous post.

Once he leaves Milwaukee he will have a better shot for a ring

Send me what ya got. Unlike most tongue in cheek posts of this nature, if you have anything decent I’ll honestly be happy to take them off your hands at ‘tanking’ values.

Wrong, I’m actually probably one who’s selling off. Been doing this long enough to know when it’s time to get out...

wanting to debate on the trajectory of his cards' value is one thing - saying they're going to tank after a game 1 loss is another. put this post with the other fake news one on luka getting hurt in slovenia

His prices are already in a decline, this series won't change that. Until he gets a legit #2 scorer, he's never winning a title in Milwaukee

Really? I’m pretty sure his 2020 Defensive POY and 3 all nba defensive teams (and most likely another 1st team this year) would disagree with that statement

In many cases it’s better to take some money off the table while you can. Maybe you have not not been watching the game today or the 2 games in the series. I have a horse In the race with having a decent amount of Giannis and buying in earlier than most around 3 years ago. Was just sharing my thoughts on this as the market has changed and most teams are stronger. Just a friendly discussion and not trying to have any personal gains from this at all. No alternative benefits at all.

The league is about rings and “what have you done lately”.

He doesn't play great defense, but has been 1st team all defense the last two years. SMH. He shot 16-24 in game 1 but blame him and not Middleton and his 6-23.

I have seen it and if I had nice Giannis it would be an easy smart hold right now.

Well he’ll be 1st team all defence again this year.....is that lately enough for you? You’re the one saying he doesn’t play good D. I don’t understand your point and I don’t think you do either

Wait, what?

You lost all credibility at 'he doesn't play great defense'.

He's the reigning DPOY

Kyrie and AD have rings. Why are Giannis cards hotter? Or Luka? Or Zion?..

Whose beating KD this year? Nobody

Expectations weren’t ring with a loaded Nets roster
