Giannis is OUT, other FIBA World Cup updates, and laughing at the Sixers | Gyro Step

Giannis Antetokounmpo confirmed on social media that he will not participate in the 2023 FIBA World Cup due to his knee surgery earlier this summer, which is unfortunate for both fans of the Greek side and the Milwaukee Bucks but ultimately the correct and safest call for Giannis. Ti Windisch and Rohan Katti discussed Giannis’ status and then overviewed the two FIBA World Cup teams containing Milwaukee Bucks this year: Greece with Thanasis Antetokounmpo and Team USA with Bobby Portis. Both Thanasis and Bobby seem set for large roles on their respective teams, so Rohan and Ti discussed their chances to advance and make real runs in the tournament and shared their schedules, which include a pair of games against each other as both Greece and USA are in the same group for this tournament.After the FIBA deep dive, Ti and Rohan laugh at the Philadelphia 76ers following James Harden dropping the mic (figuratively) at an ADIDAS camp in China where he straight up said Daryl Morey is a liar and he will never be part of an organization he is a part of, and then said the exact same statement again for good measure.Visit GSPN.info to find links to the GSPN YouTube channel and Substack, Bucks Stock Market, all our Bucks, Brewers, Packers, and pop culture podcasts, the link to gain entry to our Discord server, our Twitter links, and more!
