I feel that but im not looking and or counting pockets from either side; im just saying they both doing and did the same thing for the family!! And to be clear, I dont have a problem either doing it. But one got heat from it and the other, no one has said anything about it...

I wasn't counting pockets either, I'm just saying that this father and son duo are well known superstars compared to the brothers that aren't on the same level famous wise to compare their situations being the same

The reason why people made a big deal about the father and son duo is because the NBA wanted to force that shit for people to watch which became a failed experiment with the Lakers having the most national TV games at the time being a bad team and bronny being sent to the g-league that the bucks would never gotten that same attention with Giannis and his brother.

Symantecs! At the end of the day both scenarios is nepotism...

You're right.

 

[Costanza]

You're right.

He’s not. Look up what semantics means. The reply made no sense. What I provided was context, not semantics.

The dispute had nothing to do with wording…

When someone says, "it's semantics" or "it's just semantics," they are often dismissing a disagreement as trivial and unimportant, implying that the dispute is about minor or pedantic differences in the meaning of words rather than a disagreement over significant facts or ideas. While it can mean both people agree on the underlying concept but are just arguing over the labels they use, it is often used to avoid nuances or to invalidate another person's argument by reducing it to a matter of wording. ​

But you came out guns blazing calling people hypocrites less than an hour after the story was tweeted.



You didn’t even give them a chance to!

And you prove my point again— how can you attack people for not being “outraged” over something that they don’t even know happened???

Bro, you cant be serious; Giannis other brother has been in and out of the league because of him; this is his other brother lol lol; Giannis has been doing this; this aint nothing new...

Agreed!!!

It literally is something new. “This marks the first time in NBA history that three brothers are on active roster contracts with the same team.”

I follow the sport pretty closely and couldn’t have told you Giannis had a brother named Alex before today. Getting him signed to a two-way deal in October is not comparable to the weeks of hype over what the Lakers would do with their draft pick.

And your initial post focused on fan reaction, not the ethics of nepotism! But very few people will ever even know this happened!

He said the argument was semantics. That is the part of what you co-signed that I disputed. There are very big differences that explain fan reactions being different. He’s saying the people who criticized the Bronny move are hypocrites for not being outraged about this but, regardless of both situations being nepotism, there are legitimate common sense reasons for the Bucks move to draw less criticism.

Not yet. Would never waste my buzz on this.
