Giannis/Khris

might be a little biased since im a half-closeted bucks fan lmao but you cannot tell me that these two men

who have gone through hell and back on the court together for like. how many years now? 8? 9? i cant count. nba seasons are weird lol

have nothing more than cordial mutual respect going on, both on and off said court.

tell me they're not besties Bare Minimum, and you have my permission to fight me in the nearest mcdonalds lol

plus i think they complement each other really well!! khris being the calm and collected "voice of reason" to keep giannis' more emotional stints in check. giannis emotionally warming his mans up with his kind and caring attitude (most of the time at least). both of them sharing that Competitive Drive™ and passion and determination both on and off the court. but also the willingness to hold each other accountable in case one of them dun goofed

like their journey at this point may as well be a fuckin. friends-to-lovers fic (or maybe rivals-to-lovers since i think there are stories of them competing against each other early on??) in the making and i am all for it 💚💛🤍

Milwaukee Bucks Win the 2021 NBA Championship

i wanna talk about marcus and thanasis can i talk about marcus and thanasis please i like talking about marcus and thanasis i wanna

OKAY.

SO THESE TWO.

THEY ARE IDIOTS IN (PLATONIC) LOVE YOUR HONOR

i do not know why but every time i think about them i just go "these two would sooooooo be besties if they were on the same team and able to hang out for more than an occasional game"

like they both give off gremlin rage vibes both on and off the court. it's just that marcus is way more highkey about his vibes. immediately confronts whoever's trying to talk shit about the guy he's known since generic bucks-celtics game #9.

thanasis does have his moments sometimes tho. like he will stare motherfuckingly at anyone trying to mess with marcus as if they were messing with giannis. except instead of a giant happy (if intimidating) boi, they are dealing with a short feral boi that would bite you immediately

and that's if thanasis doesn't bite them first. or if they both bite at the same time

they would literally foul each other out in like a minute. unstoppable force vs (sometimes) immovable object type beat. and they will laugh on the bench about it for the rest of the game.

they went out for snacks at some point after generic bucks-celtics game #13. braided each other's hair in a shoddy hotel room from a midnight stroll. marcus making funny poses while they take pictures of each other. thanasis munching on marcus' braids in his sleep like they're fuzzy celery sticks.

and marcus is just. resigned to his fate because he really doesn't wanna wake him up in the middle of the night. marcus gets really cranky and moody in the morning without enough sleep but thanasis will probably fucking explode on him if he doesn't get enough sleep. and marcus does Not wanna deal with That

but he makes sure he will munch on thanni's hair back the first chance he gets. payback for his crimes. you bite my braids, i will bite that burnt cauliflower looking ass hair of yours

and those vibes.... their combined aura...... it's so strong that friends and family and teammates around them just decide "fuck it. let them be. we can't really fight this" lmao

marcus calling thanasis one random late night in some random memphis restaurant. immediately starts ranting about how the food is trash but that's why he loves it and keeps coming back. tells him to meet him there when the bucks come to play.

and thanni just. listens. he's on the bed and needs to crash (not like it's not normal. he def woke up to giannis eating oreos at 3am at least once). but he's not hanging up 'cause lowkey marcus might actually be on to something here lmao

giannis asking his bro what to expect about marcus while getting to know him as a person, and the answer he gets is "Don't."

"what do you mean don't—" "gianni listen to me. don't."

god i love them so much somebody please ask me about these two so i can ramble about them more

ITS BEEN LIKE 5 OR 6 DAYS AND I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS REAL WHAT THE

also the pics themselves so yall can marvel at this beauty

unhinged rarepair of your choice + things they like about each other/things they find annoying about each other

fuck it. them.

they're literally my go-to lol. it's a little long so beware

34 → 22

his smile!!!

khris: *grinning like a goof*

giannis: *humanity restored*

also when they're having team dinners at the players' lounge in their practice facility and khris starts picking out his teeth with a toothpick

he looks stupid but in a good way

very calm and chill in general. like giannis could come to his house uninvited with no prior communication and khris would be like "oh hey what's up"

except when it comes to video games and even then it's more of a tranquil fury

he starts calmly swearing at what he thinks was a no-call in madden and giannis (and his teammates) can't help but collapse from laughter

khris, quietly: "that's great, you know what else would be great? stuffing that fucking whistle down your goddamn throat"

giannis: "calm down khris what the"

only khris gets to peek at giannis' little notebook™ and not get immediately pump-faked to the face with it

like even his brother gets a stray notebook to the face if he looks at whats inside for more than 5 seconds

but anyway khris doodles on it out of boredom sometimes and they're small and cute

cue giannis being super happy over a cube that khris drew on the top right corner for the next 30 minutes

when khris insists he's paying for even minor things like snacks tho :(

like giannis feels a lil. obligated to carry the load for his friends even off the court. like footing bills and carrying bags to the team plane and stuff

also when khris growls at anything related to shamrocks

clover plants. lucky necklaces. everything about the boston celtics. that time he told thanasis that the logo on his panathinaikos jersey is yelling at him

giannis is both confused and frustrated whenever he does that (he does not know khris has slight AAU trauma. probably.)

22 → 34

his drip

like giannis does not care if he walks down the tunnel in a hawaiian shirt and shorts (fuckin. tim duncan-type beat) as long as it feels comfortable for him and khris is all for it

also when he's on the court and he's so focused on stabbing the entire opposing team one by one (metaphorically of course)

when he starts ranting about something in greek because he can't exactly completely explain his opinion in english and khris just nods like he understands what he's saying

then looks at thanasis like "what is your bro saying"

khris: *gets an explanation* "what do you mean he got rashes from that soccer field we played on last week"

but then he takes it back whenever giannis goes on a very vulgar verbal assault in his native language while playing fifa in particular

he takes that game way too seriously and khris is shocked because it's often out of nowhere. and he laughs because bro is that passionate for football fr

also his laugh.

ffs his laugh

giannis: *starts giggling like a goof*

khris: *kmid22.exe has stopped working*

unless he's laughing from losing his shit after losing a game he should've won while playing fifa. then it's just scary as hell

anyway khris finds it really amusing whenever giannis has his little notebook™ out for some reason

like a regular notebook looks small in his hands

sometimes he gets bored and starts drawing on it and they're like really doodle-y depictions of bucks teammates or opponents or whatever

and khris takes pictures of it they lowk look good. fights the urge to post them on whatever social media accs he has

that fucking "big fat meanie" doodle from spongebob but with james harden and khris laughs at it

when giannis keeps counting and recounting his money especially while footing bills tho (he does not know it's a childhood habit for him) (giannis has financial trauma)

like he takes too long sometimes and khris gets a lot more mildly annoyed over it than he should

finally caught the bucks opener right at the third quarter through questionable means on facebook

ugly 2nd half but also dame did dame things, so fuck it we ball
