In case you missed it, take a few minutes and watch Giannis Antetokounmpo give a perfect response to whether or not the Milwaukee Bucks season was a failure after their playoff series loss to the Miami Heat.
Once you’ve done that, you’ll know why Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban was not too happy with the reporter who asked the question. “Great response @Giannis_An34. This response should be required viewing for every sports media member and sports journalism teacher and student,” Cuban said about Giannis.
He then called out the reporter who asked the question.
“Headline seeking questions that look good in a tweet are what sports media has devolved to far too often,” he added. “It’s also on @espn and @tnt to not accept this as state of the art. Of course not all sportswriters or beat writers fall into this category, And difficult questions that require difficult answers need to be part of the game. But gotcha questions are still far more common than insightful questions. And questions about actual basketball strategy are rare. How far away are we from @sportswriterGPT being a better source of post game questions ? It will be interesting to see where this side of the industry goes.”
The sports world took to social media to react to his comments.
“I second this. I find myself writing less because so much of the focus is on headlines, regardless how foolish the topic matter. Writing for social media rather than writing to inform,” said one person.

“Any question that gets this response is a good question. This is the thing that the blame the media folks misunderstand,” another fan suggested.
“Too many people misconstrue journalists asking questions as that being their “belief.” You ask questions to get good insight. People love Giannis because he’s passionate like this. There’s nothing wrong with the question or the response. It was top-notch all around,” added another.
