That picture is very cool.

[IncarceratedBob]

He isn't even standing up straight. He's at least 6' 11

[Brook(lyn)Lopez]

Take as much HGH as you still can Mr. alphabet last name before your plates close up!

[ImKobe]

Its scary how he is going to be a legit 7 foot SF :eek:

I used to make those on NBA 2K11 lol

[Im so nba'd out]

HATER ALERT!

[gyu]

Is it just me or is that way more than 1.25"?

[boozehound]

Is it just me or is that way more than 1.25"?
clearly more than that. This pic is bogus. Same shit was said about amir johnson after his rookie year as well (and lots of others too). He may be taller, but that pic is not proof of anything

Durant is 6'11 or 7'0 and has a wingspan of 7'4 and is a SF

[KDthunderup]

Photo is horribly scaled, he is about a foot taller in that rather then an inch and a half

[CelticBaller]

paul george was 6'7" when drafted, beal was 6'3" if i remember correctly

[rhowen4]

paul george is like 6'10" now right?

[no pun intended]

paul george is like 6'10" now right?
apparently 6'10" but more like 6'9"

[Euroleague]

This is complete bullshit. Bucks should be sued for outright lying. He was already measured at 6-10 last year by his Greek team.

This seems like a really odd thing to lie about, let alone get sued for.

Why are you so pissed off all the time?

Nice pass

:facepalm he isn't actually standing next to himself, they super imposed the image and had complete control messing with the scaling. If that image were actually scaled appropriately giannis would be like 4 or 5 inches taller than the other pic. Notice how they don't show their feet. Because if they did, the Giannis on the left would be floating a couple of inches in the air.

They are outright lying about it. He was ALREADY 6-10 LAST YEAR.

This is straight up FALSE marketing and it's definitely complete BULLSHIT.

[Done_And_Done]

Side note - His brother impressed the hell out of me on the defensive end the other day in a D-League game against Texas. He's definitely capable of defending NBA talent, while the rest of his game still appears raw.

[CavaliersFTW]

One of the few times Euroleague the poster is actually right. This is a common NBA franchise marketing gimmick. The notion that he grew is not the issue, the kid could have grown, but the image is bullshit, and even the number is likely BS as well. Heck there is even a chance the kid might not have grown at all and they were just using his without shoes height and some new trainer in the lockerroom measured him in shoes and got excited when he saw a jump from 6-9 to 6-10 and 1/4 (the exact same thickness of the average NBA shoe :oldlol: ) I don't buy what they're selling here. I think Giannis could have grown for sure, but doubtful that the numbers they're throwing around are accurate considering how fudged their marketed image is.

He did not grow. He was already 6-10 last season. This is all complete bullshit.

It was reported over and over last year that his Greek team had measured him at 6-10 with a 7-4 wingspan.

The Bucks are completely lying.

He has a decent 3 point shot, with NBA range, and he can create his own shot, as well as create his a shot for another player, and pass the ball also. So his game isn't completely raw at all.

He's in the mold of a young Gerald Wallace type of player, except quicker and more explosive. If he developed his offensive skills more, he would be better than his brother is, because he's an absolute freak athlete.

A total shot in the dark considering who I'm asking but ...do you have a Link?

A total shot in the dark considering who I'm asking but ...do you have a Link?

There is no way in hell I can find a link from over a year ago to Greek blogs. GET SERIOUS.

But what I am telling you is the absolute truth. He was measured at 6-10 with a 7-4 wingspan LAST YEAR.

The Bucks are absolutely 100% LYING. They are without any doubt doing a total fraud marketing campaign. The NBA just listed him at 6-9, instead of 6-10 so they are doing this fake bullshit "he grew" nonsense.

In fact, FIBA even already officially said he was 6-10 before he was even ever in the freaking NBA.

Height: 2.08m

2.08 = 6-10

And yes, all the players are officially measured by FIBA Europe for FIBA Europe Under 20 Greek national team.

This is complete BULLSHIT. He did NOT "grow an inch".

He has not grown, because he was already 6-10 when they drafted him.

Even at the Greek all star game, they invited Giannis and his brother to attend the game (they were not selected to the game, but they got a special invite from the coaches to play), and they got measured and it was the same result.

They also said there that Thanasis had a 44 inch vertical, as the coaches there measured his vertical jump.

[buddha]

Durant is 6'11 or 7'0 and has a wingspan of 7'4 and is a SF

durant is a legit 6'9 all the bigs that are 6'11 or 6'10 are listed in their shoe heights.

Durant does have a monster 7-4 and 3/4 inch armspan though :bowdown:

Watching the Bucks-Thunder game now and its just creepy how similar Durants & Giannis bodies are, like clones, they maneuver identically aswell.

Giannis's hands are huge compared to Durant. They have about the same wingspan but Giannis's hand spread is amazing he can palm a ball so easily

[ZenMaster]

Wonder where this guy would be drafted this summer if he would have done another year in college or Europe.

In that case, you should be sued for telling women that your dick is two inches. Stop adding that extra inch.

[ballup]

IKR? The Bucks are the most evil entity of the world. We must put a stop to their nefarious schemes!

[Euroleague]

From college, #1.

From Europe, about #10.

NBA HATES Greeks.

But remember, NBA PRETENDS that anyone that played NCAA is "American". According to NBA, even Sarunas Jasikevicius is "American".

Oh, ok.

good call. off topic but i'm glad to see he's getting more minutes.

[King Jane]

Of course he's still growing, modern players are typically bigger, faster, and stronger than prior era players and continue to be this way.

But apparently he's not, and the Bucks are a bunch of lying pieces of shit.

My boy Giannis is a stud he's gonna be our Pippen when my bucks rule the East

:biggums: 3 pages?? Come on Bucks fans we gotta do better than that

[SugarHill]

EuroLeague is the funniest user here. It matters very little if he's intentional or not. He delivers on pure laughs.

I think he might seriously be bat **** crazy. You're right he is funny though

I'm officially on the Giannis Bandwagon. When all said is done, he could be the greatest Greek player in the NBA. :bowdown:

Kinda OT but Hammond is an underrated drafter. He should quit the GM position and focus instead on scouting players.
