And so it officially begins. It looks like Giannis won’t follow in the footsteps of Kobe and Dirk who played their whole careers with the same franchise.
It also looks like Steph Curry will as well.
But truth be told, they are the exceptions not the rule over the last 40 years.
This list of players is proof: Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen, Charles Barkley, Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Shaq, Dwayne Wade, LeBron, KD, Kyrie, etc., etc.
The only difference in today’s NBA landscape is that superstars typically get traded to one of their preferred destinations. Think Hakeem in Toronto or Ewing in Orlando/Seattle.
Despite the Knicks reportedly being Giannis’ first choice, the oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have the Spurs as favorites to acquire his services.
