In this clip, we dive into Khris' relationship with Giannis Antetokounmpo and how their hierarchy works on the team. We also have a laugh over the narrative that he is Batman and Giannis is Robin.

Khris was such a cool guest. Very open about a lot of topics. The full ep drops first thing in the morning. See you there.
JJ are you planning on getting SGA on? Us Thunder fans are dying for any interview of Shai, he never does them.
Need that full episode!
Seriously. He strikes me as a humble, grounded, secure, and confident individual.
@@duffal0 we're working on it
Possible for an ANT interview?🙏🏾
If khris is batman then giannis is superman
😂😂😂😂
facts

Hell yea
Don’t ever make that comparison again. Batman > Superman
I’ve literally never heard anyone call Middleton Batman in my life unless it was a troll
Perkins said that one time lmao
Some Giannis haters try to use it
This hasn't been said since the bucks won the chip, JJ waited too long to get khris on lol
Istg doesn't make sense
It was said in 2021 before they won the chip and after because Middleton was closing a lot of those games. And correct, by mainly Giannis haters. The same haters who don't understand Giannis is a big man and he isn't going to shoot 40% from the 3 point line and 85% from the free throw line like Middleton.
When the Bucks won the championship in 2021, their teammates praised them, saying, ``Chris is the heart of this team, and Giannis is the soul.''
That's stupidest thing I've ever heard
Yea cuz Middleton can make crucial shots and free throws
@@antoinebutler9904 giannis was near perfect in free throws during finals what the hell are you talking about lmaooo u a casual or just a teenager?
Wtf does that mean lmao
@@prometheus3498 it means you need both they play core roles
He will retire and 10 years later will probably be the most underrated player of this generation. Offense was consistently being run through him in finals games leading to their championship. He's an incredible player that's floated under the radar forever. Love his game
He was a solid player, averaged 24/6/5 in the finals. Unfortunately, the injuries really took their toll. Hopefully he is able to bounce back this season
He’ll go under the radar like Michael Redd, BRoy, Chauncey n em. Respect by real ball fans but won’t be mentioned a lot
like chauncey k middleton got a ring. as great and b roy and redd. they couldn't take their team deep into the playoffs
@@HooodClassicsTVRoy was on another level. He would've been a top 75 player all time if not for injuries.
🧢
When it comes down to who takes the last shot in the clutch, Khris is the Batman
Giannis is Superman
Stop
Superman > Batman
So...
@@BLACKSTA361 we seen it in the 2021 finals, Giannis isn't hitting go ahead buckets or game tying 3s, he differs to Khris
@@_ripVanWinkle_The same 2021 finals that Giannis averaged 35-13-5 in and got 50 points in the close out game?
Shoutout to Money, appreciate everything you've done for the team and city. This man went from the D League to a championship and max contract. Pure shooter and humble human. Money for the win.
The batman Robin thing is just something the media uses to sow discord amongst players. Every player has a role on the team, if the 'guy' needs to take a step back for others to move forward he does, when he needs to take charge he does
Robin is only second to Alfred & one of the greatest heroes in DC Universe.
Robin was NEVER looked down upon as a bad thing until relatively recently & it started when people tried to diminish Kobe's role on the 2000s Lakers.
Since then, it's taken a life of its own.
What Butler said was 👍. Something like "If my mates need me to score 40, OK. If they need 0 point and 15 assists from me, OK. Whatever it'll take to win."
Khris is like Batman in The Dark Knight Rises where he’s stuck in a cave with an injured back
Lmfao
Funniest thing I heard all day 😂
fam😂
xd
RISE UP !!!
Giannis is Superman and Middleton is Batman end of story
Lost to a play in team and Giannis got his soul taken by Kawhi in 2019 and Jimmy last season...no more superhero comparisons for Mr. Run and Dunk please.
@@RealParadox85and when Giannis was healthy in 2021 what happened vs Jimmy butler ?
@@RealParadox85Didn’t he sweep Jimmy the year the actually WON the ring? Or what was that
and Jrue is Robin.
@@samueljlarsonfacts lol
Milwaukee resident / bucks fan for 27 years now .. Kris no matter what they say you are Ghost Kobe ! Without you we aren’t champions . We will watch and cheer y’all to another championship or more 🥶🥶🥶
Best podcast out! Great stuff JJ
I hope Khris really gets back to his full peak this coming season
He avg 24/6/6 in the playoffs. He’s been back
Lets goooo! Cant wait for the full interview!🦌🦌🦌
I’ve never heard anyone with a beating heart that Middleton is Batman and Giannis is Robin …
Perkins said this on the most watched sports show in America
Khris is super underrated.
Don’t understand why Middleton won’t say that Giannis is Batman and he’s Robin.. the dude is two time league MVP back to back and is top 5 in NBA right now like cmon now
Shout Out Khris Money Middleton.
Smooth game and plays defence
Man he went insane in that run,
And he proved himself multple games
And then the dagger in the 4th game 6 finals
Even though it wasnt his best game.
I will never be ungrateful for you breaking cp3 and bookers heart.
Im really taking middleton over all the other SFs
Yes I'm taking Middleton over LeBron, KD, Kawhi, Giannas, George, Tatum, Brown, butler, bridges, lavine,
@@kirakam1419Giannis a PF, George a SG, Lavine a SG, Brown a SG
he hasn’t played good d in a while
People in these comments really comparing Middleton to Batman💀💀💀
Even if Giannis is Superman Middleton is not Batman😂😂
Delusion. But it’s caused by JJ. He asked Middleton if he had a problem with not being the “man” like Middleton has ever been good enough to be the man…
my god thank you! i thought i was going crazy.
@@dlrichardson56 You're not alone my friend. I don't even know how this is even a debate or a conversation, if anyone watches every bucks game they'd understand that this guy right here and the rest of the team continue to choke and choke when it matters the most. Great personality and can score when he is being aggressive out there although he rarely is. It takes Giannis himself to go off, like literally bulldozing, blocking shots, rebounding, making plays etc. everything for these clowns to understand how to play basketball. That Boston series is all you needed to know how Good Giannis really is without Middleton.🤷🏽
That’s dope that you got Middleton on here. I’m from Milwaukee we don’t see this side of him. 🦌
Chris Middleton is Alfred… you count on him for the tray (3)
Excellent responses by Khris, very cool guy
Man I love Khris 💯 let’s go
He's more like an Alfred but he plays his role well I love Kris as a bucks fan without him we don't win a ring respect.
Kris middleton is Alfred....right...did you even watch the 2021 finals run??
@@gabriel-uc1uz do you even know who Alfred is and how many times he comes in clutch to save Batman's life? You silly boy?
Title of video wild never herd that b4
Its so simple. Khris Middleton is Batman. Giannis is Superman.
Middleton is Arrow
Giannis is Superman
@@BLACKSTA361 Giannis is Darkseid Middleton is Gordon
Khris Middleton has made 15 game-tying or go-ahead shots in the 4th-quarter/OT this postseason.
That's tied with LeBron James (2007) for the most in a single playoffs in the last 25 seasons.
We forget about his 30-40 point games during that 2021 finals run
One of the reasons life is hard is because 9/10 when you meet someone they want to be the main character and you want to be the main character and nobody wants to be the sidekick. This narrative will live forever. Pippen will always be salty at Mike because of this 😂
If I may ask, what is the headphones that they are wearing? Thanks in advance.
he is beast very underrated
Kris has hit big buckets and clutch shots since he been there when giannis was out against the hawks when they won the chip, him and jrue was dropping 30 pieces to keep the series alive he doesn't get his credit at AAALLLL.
While I never heard this statement being said, I will admit that during their championship run Khris absolutely scorched everyone 😂
no he didnt. He was hot and cold the entire playoffs besides the 1st round vs miami. stop remembering things differntly than how they happended. Go and look up the game by game numbers. He was hot and cold. so was drew.
@@dlrichardson56 Khris Middleton has made 15 game-tying or go-ahead shots in the 4th-quarter/OT this postseason.

@@TW__________ ok?? i think middleton is a good player. all star caliber player when healthy. Idk what else your looking 4. He's not a perennial all star, he's not and will never be an mvp candidate. lets keep him in perspective.
@@dlrichardson56 the whole point of me reminding you of that stat. In the context of the bucks. When I watch em and it is often. In the last 5 min of a game, the ball always seems to be in kris or holidays hands making plays for giannis more often than not. That’s all brotha
@@TW__________ ok?? is ther a point to you telling me this?? i said middleton was a good player. are you saying something different?? theres a difference between lebron playing with kyrie irving, d wade, chris bosh, k love, anthony davis.....then giannis playing with bledsoe, middleton or middleton. i agree that middleton and holiday to a lesser degree have helped close out some games....so where are we going? there are clowns in here calling him batman. thats ridiculous.
No one will get at JJ for asking “gotcha” questions that old media asks…he asked about teammates ranking each other?
Khris is a Robin but I feel like some guys play like a Nightwing and Batman duo😂 we need a breakdown episode of this superhero hierarchy😅
Khris is defenity more nightwing than robin
yall did him dirty with that thumbnail lmaoo
Khris making that gate/expander work lol
Lmaoo pursuing the question more after he shut it down was very Perk of you JJ. Kris himself knows who Batman is when Giannis ends up leaving smh
it’s the ESPN effect, they brought him on to have the refreshing player perspective (esp. those viral clips of him dismantling Stephen a and his wild takes) when there’s backlash of troll journalism. But when they work there long enough, they fall victim to the producer’s wants of low brow journalism after they created the perception of variety
Ugh I know I commented already but I hate how predictable and formulaic these players-turned-analysts roadmaps have become in the name of business
Why would giannis leave dame Kris and Brooke?
This is the Middleton of all time
There is always the same batman and a robin, robin will have his moments to shine but there will always be the batman player on the team. Doesn't matter if a game here and there, robin is having everything run through him. We all know which player the organization is keeping if they had to let go of one. That is the batman, don't need to bring in other stuff to make it complicated
The most retarded take
Giannis is lucky to have a teamate like Khris Middleton.
Best part Kdddd Goes Nuts 🥜
Never heard that I think you’re makin it up
With all due respect, with pg13 and kawhi you can make that argument because of how similar of a level they are at(if it wasn't for pg13's injuries he might have been as good as kawhi if not better) HOWEVER with middleton and giannis there is no comparison because giannis MVP/best player in the world caliber player while middleton is a low tier barely an allstar caliber player(no disrespect but there are levels to this here)
I'd really like to agree with you because PG is one of my favourite players. But even if he didn't get injured Kawhi is a tier higher. Kawhi has an all-time great skillset if he didn't have knee tendonitis. He is better than PG on both sides of the ball. So he'd still be their clear number 1. PG has the nicer moves and shot. But Kawhi's game is a little more effective. Predictable but also unstoppable.
A healthy, peak Kawhi is what would happen if PG-13 went Super Saiyan.
Most underrated player in history. He was looking like Jordan in them finals run.
Perk is the Nikola Jokic of NBA analysts. I'm referring to Nikola's nickname.
That Kendrick Perkins tweet just shows that it doesn’t matter if they played in the NBA or not, some folks on TV shouldn’t have a take
Holiday has been Robin, Middleton has barely been Alfred🤷🏾♂️💯
What a player Kris Middleton is
Brought a chip back to Milwaukee after soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo many years. He should be proud.
can you please release the podcast before the clips? I feel like there is no way it increases listening or views to have it unavailable when people want it, idk though.
Perk n definitely on them Percs making statements like that 😂. Oh lord, somebody help that brother 🙏
Lmao 🤣 said no one ever! Who tf is pushing that false narrative?🤨🤦♂️
I think Kendrick Perkins’s job is to have stupid takes
Perk been too this back
GOAT Middleton hall of famer
Khris is Batman in the 4th quarter late if you watch the games 😂 game 6 nba finals the only night giannis was Superman
You sound stupid
If Khris is even a Bat man, trade him, cus that would make Giannis Thanos
no hate on Khris but man, Giannis is an MVP for a reason. Perk must be taking those illegal pills. been tweeting a pot of trash recently.
What loyality leads too
Didn't realize Middleton had drip, great hat and accessories.
The batman/robin conversation is stupid af, not sure why it is even entertained. It is entirely fabricated to make a 24/7 sports news cycle have something to talk about. JJ you don't always have to entertain that bs.
Great content as usual but JJ just prop whoever is in front of him at the moment. Middleton is Robin and that is not an insult. Batman needed Robin just like without Middleton closing Milwaukee would not win.
Exactly what I said. But it allows him to keep getting more and more guests on because they are happy to have somebody stroke their own ego for others to see
He literally clarified that Giannis is batman
@@blazesbrother5140 Giannis is clearly Batman…He asked Middleton if he had a problem with not being Batman like he ever was Batman 😂😂😂
@@YER3721Imagine going to a interview to have someone lie to you 😂
Nightwing 👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
One More Championship 🏆 Khris & you are a Hall of Famer & Giannis stays after you retire...Let's get it!!! 414
I think only 2 people actually said this.
Skip and Perk. That's it.
Just one more month😩
I think the reason a lot of people don't like being "Robin" cause the character is ridicule for being named after a "non menacing bird" and Robin is a kid. Batman and Robin is a well known duo in superhero world. Batman is known for being the "brains, the leader" so I can see how folks would take that. Alfred is the most important person, without him, the hero's don't win...Jrue = Alfred. I can't wait for the full interview.
He said something that arrogant fans really do realize: It doesn’t matter who they think is 1, 2, 3, or 4; the check is still gonna’ clear and I’ll still be on the Milwaukee Bucks (in the NBA). The narratives that this culture creates don’t change anything. These guys are still rich and will have a higher stature in society no matter what the fans say. Ya’ll waste energy criticizing and making “criteria”, but it doesn’t have any effect at all.
this clip is weird energy ngl. Khris is properly rated; a 3 level scorer who plays tough d when healthy but not pitched high enough consistently to be that legendary duo 1-2 punch (Shaq Kobe, Mike Scottie, D Wade Bron) which was why adding jrue was critical. Really don't even get JJ's angle in asking this. . . been hanging around perk too long lol.
NBA players are elite athletes. Not super heroes.
Khris is bat man taking the last shot
I think it would be great for the Bucks offense if giannis has a lower usage rate and is used more as a rollman. Was watching the Steve Nash video on thinking basketball and was thinking how awesome it would be for giannis if he could play with great pnr ballhandler. Ofcourse stat was a much better shooter than giannis
Shaq/ Kobe, Duncan/Parker/ginobili, LeBron/Kyrie, Jokic/Murray, Giannis/ Middleton……..We’ve seen this plenty of times lol it’s usually a guard/wing who’s the closer
That playoff performance to win the title made this guy a future HOF.
Try to get Shai JDub or Giddey on!!
Working on it
Khris will always take the last shot when he's available
No one mentioned click bait?
He is Batman from Batman beyond
Interesting
Not overall as a player but at bucket getting during crunch time that one year yeah he was more of the Batman than Gianni’s
It’s crazy that Brandon Miller didn’t know who Khris was lmao
Giannis does the heavy lifting and Kris is the closer.
Who in the world said that. 😭
Perk is high XD
It's crazy cause Robin is LIKE THAT. But people use this analogy to make a statement about players. You'll never hear em say "he's Nightwing" cause that's Robin when he left Batman and cleaned the streets by himself.
Batman is a rich guy with gadgets lol
That’s my f___in joint
Giannis is Superman definitely not Robin Kendrick talks out of his butt lol
Y’all forgot Giannis went down who took over and won the series?
In the 2021 playoffs until the finals khris was making and taking all the shots at the end of the games he is their closer since giannis can’t do that khris could be interpreted as the batman
Off topic , but man for the last 3ish years of JJs career, I kept hoping the warriors would land him or he would sign with them.
He was the closer an go to guy before the knee injury atleast.
With that said Giannis is Batman the best player by far on the team.
How dear he not clearly state that Greek freak is the number one. He is the best player in the court every night for the Bucks
Thanasis was alfred… cheering from the sideline
The problem with the Batman and Robin analogy is that it’s terribly emasculating.
One is a Man and one is a Boy (Wonder)
I’d be way more okay with someone saying I was the second best player on a championship team than someone calling me Robin.
Noone is signing up for the green sequin speedo, look what happened to Chris O’Donnell and Scottie Pippen…
Every duo that got labelled with that ends up breaking up.
Must be that one 12 year old troll on Reddit that called Middleton the "Batman" and they just chose to run away with it. 😂
If Khris is Batman then Giannis is Darkseid 😂
Is this suppose to be satari ?
Jrue holiday is thanos
Top 3 playoff closer
I never heard this claim though 🤣🤣 who ever said this and why ?
Hold me. Like the river Jordan.
