“And now he got his championship.”
My comment was about the hypocritical sports media, not about the ‘beloved’ foreigner. The camera was on him when he was not even in the game! The constant, not-stop praising of him made me sick to my stomach!
It’s actually pretty standard to show the aging veteran (which Giannis isn’t quite, but close) about to win his first championship even when they’re not in the game. I remember when Ray Bourque was about to win The Cup they kept showing him on the bench. Especially if the score isn’t that close, the emotional story is the more interesting one. And frankly he deserves praising. Good guy, loyal, never been in a scandal, bucked the trend of running to a super team. It’s a good story, and a sad state in your head that it would make you sick.
