I am genuinely happy for Giannis. He seems like a fundamentally good dude, and a normal human being (apart from being 7 feet tall and insanely athletic). He is funny and real and has a such an inspiring backstory. He seems to be the opposite of the LeBron industrial complex that has controlled the basketball narrative over the past decade. Bonus points for beating Chris Paul - the most annoying dude of his generation (Point God? More like Point Godawful amirite?).
On a more sombre note, I am truly terrified of how these finals are going to end up being a series of superspreader events with no discernable masking or distancing, and the Delta Variant gaining steam. Adam Silver - I'm really disappointed in how you've dealt with this after being so serious about the bubble last year. I'm really, really hoping that this will spur people into taking vaccination more seriously. We shall see.
