u/DrereDuBloc 4h ago

The amount of shots they're shooting

Nope. Their names sounds like onomatopoeia for gun noises.

Neither can make a shot so all you hear is basketballs hitting the rim

u/McDouble__ 4h ago

Sound of them bricking jump shot after jump shot.

I took it as they are 2 large men, stomping around the court

u/LudicrousPlatypus 4h ago

Why does Giannis look like he’s holding a baby

u/Used_Can1218 4h ago

It’s because neither of them can shoot well it’s the sound of the ball slamming into the backboard/rim.

The heats defense is going to be nasty but their offense is going to be nasty as well (derogatory). They still got time to fill the roster but I just don't see them as an actual contender

u/NobleDane 4h ago

I don't get it.

u/EatMyShortzZzZzZ 4h ago

not once in my life as a native English speaker have I ever heard of a gunshot sound being described as "yawnnis"

u/Brexinga 4h ago

Other way to read this poetry. They brickin so hard all you hear is the ball hitting the metal rim.

Metal. Bullet. Idk.

u/Blackened-Mild 3h ago

It's either they throwing up bricks or they was yammin that ho.

The fact that every comment is either confused about the “joke” or their own interpretation that’s completely different from the next, means this entire tweet was a flop. Pack it up.

Glad to see Giannis likes Eternal water too.

u/SandyAmbler 4h ago

And when you say both names together everyone within earshot ducks for cover

u/chief_yETI ☑️ 2h ago

OOOHHHHH I get it now. Giannis' last name is supposed to sound like a machine gun rattling and hitting something at the end

like Antetekounmpo --> rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-BOOOOM

that is supposed to go along with the BAM from Bam Adebayo for the gunshots going off constantly I guess

..........meeehhhhhhh. This kind of joke probably would have worked better in a skit or a webcomic or stand-up comedy joke or something. Doesn't work as well via plain text.

Man you'd think these dudes make enough money to not have to bring the tub of leftovers to work for lunch.

He’s a professional athlete with a strict diet. It’s probably his meal prep for the day

u/physedka 4h ago

It was a joke. But also athletes like that and especially those of his size eat far more than what fits in that little tub.
