SI:AM | The Greek Tragedy in Milwaukee
Brigid Kennedy
Good morning, sports fans. This is Brigid Kennedy (of SI:CYMI fame, for those subscribed to another one of Sports Illustrated’s morning newsletters) here to pinch-hit for Dan Gartland. If you’re looking to confuse those in your life today, try firing off a cryptic post on social media. It worked super well for Giannis Antetokounmpo.
In today’s SI:AM:
🇬🇷 The Giannis drama comes to an end
🏀 The NBA welcomes a new class of stars
The Giannis trade saga reaches its conclusion
Sam Navarro/Imagn Images
Well, folks—it happened. Just before midnight, no less (par for the course with these NBA trades, I’m telling ya): The Miami Heat agreed to trade for Giannis Antetokounmpo, bringing an end to a saga that has hung over both him and the Milwaukee Bucks for the last year.
Things between the NBA superstar and his presumed career-long franchise have been seemingly on the rocks since the Bucks went on yet another disappointing run in the 2025 postseason. At the time, the belief was that Giannis wanted to play for a contender, but Milwaukee’s draft-pick situation meant the front office was going to have an awfully hard time building a team around their guy.
⚽ Check out SI’s World Cup Daily
Antetokounmpo himself never outright asked to be traded; he remained pretty coy and vague about the speculation, expertly answering question after question even as the team’s season flittered away and the rumor mill did its thing. As far back as January, even, he said that there “will never be a moment that I will come out and say, ‘I want a trade,’” because “that’s not … in … my … nature. O.K.?” Still, talk persisted for the rest of the season … which then ended on quite the sour note for both parties. (You might recall the league investigation into the Bucks, which Giannis prompted when he accused the team of holding him out on purpose? Yeah, not good.)
After that, it was inevitable that the Greek Freak would move on. The only question was when. As of Monday night, word on the street was that a deal would go down sometime ahead of the draft, which made sense: The Bucks would have the chance to net some picks in a swap, and this year’s pool is chock full of young talent. But the streets were also saying that the team was deciding between two very different packages from Miami and Boston, one of which was believed to be more draft-focused than the other.CONTINUE BRIGID’S COLUMN ON SI

Examination of Conscience
The daily examination of conscience is an ancient Catholic practice. It’s very simple, and it’s designed to help us identify our sins and weaknesses so that we can improve and grow stronger in the spiritual life, while providing an excellent ongoing preparation for regular Confession. It consists of taking a few minutes at the end of the day to prayerfully review our actions in the light of God’s commandments, followed by the Act of Contrition.
Reflect on the victories and losses
Actively reflecting on the high and low points of the day can help you live more intentionally and bring a renewed sense of resolve into the following day.
- Review your actions, words, and thoughts today. Did you actively guard yourself against temptation? Where did sin creep in?
- In what moments did you practice virtue and moral courage?
- Were you attuned to the Holy Spirit’s promptings today? Where did you feel His inspiration?
- Ask Him for the graces necessary to follow His Will more purposefully tomorrow.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended Thee, and I detest all my sins because of Thy just punishments, but most of all because they offend Thee, my God, Who art all good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the help of Thy grace to sin no more and to avoid the near occasions of sin. Amen.
Practice gratitude
It is God’s love that has brought you into existence and to this exact moment. Practice looking for His hand in your day.
- Where did you feel His loving gaze upon you today?
- What people or moments helped you see God in your life?
- Thank God for all these moments!
- Ask Him to help you recognize His blessings and providence tomorrow.
Renew your commitment to Christ
Remember: our Faith is founded upon a Person—Christ! Renew your personal love and devotion to Him.
- Thank God for the gift of His Son Jesus and our call to be His disciples.
- Tell the Lord of your desire to know Christ more personally.
- If possible, set an intention for your day tomorrow. Ask Our Lord to guide you in this act.
- Pray a Hail Mary, Our Father, or another beloved prayer.
Rest with God
The Mighty One, God the Lord, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting. — Psalm 50:1

John 10:9 – Jesus as the Good Shepherd: Guiding and Protecting His Flock
Having trouble reading this email? View it in your browser.
John 10:9
(9) I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.
King James Version Change email Bible version
A significant title of Jesus Christ is “the Good Shepherd” (John 10:11, 14), and it is a perfect description for what He does in personally knowing and caring for His sheep. As part of this title, He mentions one of His primary activities in the latter half of John 10:9: “I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.”
The matter of “finding pasture” is a critical part of what a shepherd does for his sheep. Sheep are the farthest thing from being self-sufficient. They cannot make it on their own for very long, though they are seemingly oblivious to this. Left to themselves, they will not thrive because they require constant attention and direction. More than any other class of livestock, they are dependent on outside intervention, which is one reason why Jesus refers to Christians—us—as sheep: Without Him to lead, provide, and protect us, we would be in real trouble.
As Phillip Keller details in his book, A Shepherd Looks at Psalm 23, when sheep are left to their own ways, they cause utter desolation. Since sheep are so docile, we do not typically think of them as destructive animals, but their destructiveness lies in the fact that they are creatures of habit. Stubbornly following their habitual nature, they do not consider the future. Sheep will follow the same trails until the trails become ruts, and they will continue to walk those ruts until they have carved gullies in the midst of their pastureland. They will graze an area, day after day, until it has been turned into a wasteland. They will nibble the grass down to its roots, leading to the erosion of what may have been prime topsoil. In addition, they will pollute those same fields until they are rife with parasites and disease.
Sheep have their favorite spots, to which they will return repeatedly, quickly contaminating those areas. If great care is not taken, disease can run amok through an entire flock. If sheep are left to themselves, this is guaranteed to happen, which is why they require a shepherd’s constant management and oversight.
To keep a flock well-fed and free of disease, as well as to maintain his pastures, a skilled shepherd keeps his flock on the move, slowly but continually. He frequently changes where they pasture, gradually moving them throughout all of his fields. In this way, he ensures that his flock has the best food and enough of it. He makes sure that he returns to an area only after the life cycles of the various parasites have run their courses, so the flock does not continually re-infect itself. The longer the sheep remain in the same place, the more the shepherd incurs the risk that they will malnourish and sicken themselves or those around them.
Since Christ refers to the church as a flock, and to individuals as sheep (Matthew 26:31; Luke 12:32; John 10:16), we can be sure that He will be doing something similar with His church. Left to ourselves, we tend to develop habits that can be destructive, whether to ourselves or those in our environment. Even with the best of intentions, we sin, and our sins pollute and can cause an environment of disease. We consume, but without a wise Shepherd overseeing what we consume, there is tremendous danger to ourselves and those around us.
Thus, when we find that the circumstances of our lives are changing, we do not have to fear that things are actually out of control. They may just be out of our control. When we are under the ownership and care of the Good Shepherd, He changes our circumstances and keeps our lives from becoming static.
— David C. Grabbe

If you can now endure so little, how will you be able to bear eternal torments? If a little suffering now makes you so touchy, what will hell-fire do hereafter? Surely you cannot have both joys- your pleasure in this world and afterward to reign with Christ.” —Thomas à Kempis
