Giddey is thriving as a floor general on the third-fastest team in the league, and Chicago (33-42) is 11-9 since the All-Star break. It's now 10th in the East with a strong chance of reaching the play-in tournament.

As the Oklahoma City Thunder ascend past the current group of teams and into a historic company with some of the greatest teams ever, Josh Giddey feels no sense of envy or bitterness. Instead of staring out of his window in envy like Squidward, he's cheering on his former squad after he spent his first three seasons there.
