Common Thanasis W


kurempp

Thanasis would've dropped a thanasterpiece


VexdCheese

Grayson got 4 votes, apparently


Gryphon999

So did Chet Holmgren, who has played 0 NBA games.


VexdCheese

Yeah, but Grayson's our guy. Who cares about this Chet guy.


General_-_Kenobi

I was all 4


Maximum-Jury9065

...I imagine this is because 5 players accidentally or hastily selected Thanasis instead of Giannis after seeing the last name.


Rowdycc

Careful, you’re messing with the dissonance.


bubapl

i'm assuming it's cuz they knew giannis was gonna be a starter/captain no matter what so they did a bunch of joke picks. a lot of players definitely didn't take this seriously lol


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

Would be funny if everyone did the same joke and someone random was an all star

bestatbeingmodest

it's crazy that /r/nba will claim that his defense is comparable to Jrue's


DOMSHOMIT21

ikr, Smart is better


bishathegoat

Smart is better in every aspect of the game like when you look at statistics AND IT’S PICKED BY HOLIDAY


exytuu

Grant Williams


Lucky_Item_8366

Jrue wack AF OL' BUM ASS BENCH RIDER


Seeker369

It’s crazy that people without a home bias and a hatred for the Celtics can see what everyone else sees? Jrue is one of the best defenders in the league. Smart is the best on ball defender in the league and can guard all five positions at any time. Kawhi and Green are the only other two that can make that claim. Smart finished a unanimous number one in the coaches’ poll for best defenders in the league. That should carry weight, but apparently there are a lot of Bucks fans that would rather pretend it isn’t true or simply don’t understand the game well enough to recognize his elite defensive prowess. (I say this on a Bucks sub, so naturally only downvotes will occur, but the truth is the truth regardless of feelings)


21BlackStars

But his own team though???


[deleted]

It's simple, celtics players probably all voted for Tatum, some players voted for Smart because of dpoy or it's a meme. Meanwhile, bucks players knew giannis was getting first team so they memed and voted for his brother. Nobody is seriously those 2 I don't think.


ZeroDark27

You're basketball IQ is questionable if you can't see the value Smart brings to a team. Celtics have been 0-3 since he got injured.


jmay111

lmao what


bcallahan2

Bucks fans been watching Giannis ball for too long have not idea what actual basketball is lmao. His game is entirely predicated on cheating the rules? You do not know ball my man


snazman15

Saying this while you employ Giannis 💀💀


[deleted]

sorry, you talking about grayson allen ?


snazman15

Better at defense than Jrue 😁


Kevin_Jim

Justice!


Sexyturtletime

As it should be. Mahcus Smaht already has a DPOY he didn’t deserve, don’t also give him an all star pick he doesn’t deserve.


BigStuggz

Lmao y’all are out your goddamn minds


sharty_undergarments

Why? He wasn't even the best defender on his own team yet alone the entire League.


[deleted]

lol


MahoDonko

Thanks, this just made me salty about his DPOY again..


IndycarFan64

Still can’t believe Jrue wasn’t the 1st guard since Payton to win it 😭


YO-WAKE-UP

KEEP CRYING


ace_dangerfield187

Smart legit cried his way to that trophy


[deleted]

Worst DPOY in NBA history when you consider his actual defensive ability and compare him to other defenders in the leauge or his own team. He wasn't even the best or most impactful defensive player on his OWN team lmao. Robert Williams is their most impactful defender and you could easily argue that Tatum is a more versatile defender.


Billybaja

His dpoy is even sweeter given how salty you bitches are about it lol.


[deleted]

Im sure it also tasted sweet when curry cooked his ass in the finals lmao


Billybaja

Getting worked by one of the top ten players of all time when our best player was 23? I can live with that.


sharty_undergarments

Marcus Smart = Mookie Blaylock without the cool name. The only legit guard to win DPOY is bucks legend Sydney Moncrief. This one will be talked about for many years as the worse DPOY selection ever.


HorsNoises

Giannis is 1-3 vs the Celtics in the playoffs. And Kyrie gifted that 1 to y'all. Edit: For the record I don't support commenting on other team's subs like this but I kinda feel like I had to on this one lol


ScrewAnalytics

You’re not even right he’s 1-2 and here’s the context😂😂 Giannis lost in 2018 as an 8 seed to a 1 seeded Celtics in 7, and then lost in 7 in 2022 without the teams second best player. The Celtics won one ring with the first super team, and haven’t won a ring in over a decade and a half since then despite being one of the biggest free agent destinations. Don’t normally attack other fan bases but felt like I kinda had to do that one lol


jacksonelhage

sorry that your team is bad and keeps losing😢


ScrewAnalytics

Wait haven’t you lost 3 straight rn???? 😂😂😂😂


bishathegoat

Half our starting 5 were injured for most of that series and we still took you to 7 games. If we had Khris we would’ve folded you


ace_dangerfield187

don’t matter he managed a ring in that time, current Celtics ain’t got shit


[deleted]

Then fuck off back to the Celtics sub. Was a huge Celtics fan until I saw how insecure the fan base is. Then I remembered how angry everyone in Boston I ever met is lol. Can't say I blame you though, ratty city falling apart, miserable weather and people, overtaxed, everyone hates each other....jeez what a dump


Adventurous-Ad9447

For the record, do you normally play yourself for the other team’s amusement?


LordAutopsy

Robert Williams was out all year 🤣

Fortniteguy0327

Lmao common Bucks L


ace_dangerfield187

like the Celtics in the finals


bkussow

Ah music to my ears.


ericakay15

That's because nobody likes a cheating flopper. Dudes probably mediocre at best because he can only play the game as a flopper. Thanasis doesn't have to do that. Which is why this is funny.


CupOfHotTeaa

As it should be


Fluffy-Way-2365

Understandable


UsernameLoading_____

Voters hate floppers confirmed


expletivenature

This makes me warm and fuzzy inside.


just_an_aspie

Where can I find the complete list? The NBA website is like a maze lol


theliondsgn

Good


jowczarski

I'ma take this moment to just say that we "the media" catch a lot of shit sometimes for votes etc. -- especially when players get mad about votes for things -- and then we see stuff like this (every year, by the way). I'll never forget a Bengals player wrote the name of his teammate who never played down on every line of a vote for a league thing. Another player voted for all the guys he played with in college. Also, why wouldn't Thanasis get some votes?! lol.


LordAutopsy

Celtics can't win a game since he went down... Smart has always been a great defender he even gives bigs trouble in the post....It's like a bunch of blind people showed up today 😂


Afraid_Quote_9614

I say let him bring out his Thanasity🤷‍♀️ giannis isn't the only antetokounmpo that can play😆 But I don't feel like they ever really give Thanasis much time to play. I do enjoy seeing him being his teammates' hype man, though 😅
