I remember watching my first NBA game too Ashy boi :oldlol: :oldlol:

[Walk on Water]

The NBA is bored and they need a new star. It ain’t THIS GUY that’s all I know.

Outside of hardcore fans nobody knows who he is. Plus he has no moves!

[superduper]

He's only decent when he has room to travel/stiff-arm.

He looks clumsy

Imagine watching your 1st nba game with Giannis and judging him based off of 1 quarter while watching the game from your ashy shoebox

I just wow

[NBASTATMAN]

GIANNIS ABOUT to do a KOBE and lose this series after going up by 2 games.. :roll: :banana: :applause: :rockon:

[Vino24]

Can op name another player on the bucks yet?

[tontoz]

Setting aside the fact that this is a troll thread, there is some truth to it.

Giannis scores in 2 ways only, getting to the basket or the foul line. Both are tougher in the playoffs.

He is a great player and will probably be the MVP, but i can't rank him as the best in the game with no jumper.

For sure, he is not the best player in the L but he deserves his hype look at his defense numbers they are on another level this year

[Jasper]

he seems to stop Lenard when he man ups on him ...:pimp:

[tpols]

the bucks spread the floor with 4 corner offense like the rockets to give giannis layup lanes. Brook lopez is really the key that opened up the whole team since hes arguably their best shooter, and is a 5. but G is an ultimate one trick pony its actually amazing how productive he is with a ben simmons skillset.

The fly in the ointment of their offense is Bledsoe. Nobody is worried about him taking 3s.

In the playoffs he is taking 5 3s per game shooting 23.3%. :lol

[E_Stamkos]

He's really limited by his inability to stick a jumper.

If he develops a even a decent jump shot, he'll be an all time great lock. He's already one of the greatest athletes the league has ever seen.

What if Shaq developed a 3 point shot?

[Walk on Water]

I never was impressed with AntiKempo and never watched him much. Tonight I gave it a try but I didn't notice anything special about him. Leonard dunked on him I think and Leonard is hurt. Antekempo made like one 3 pointer. Even Lebron is better cuz Lebron can bully you in the lane. Just put a decent defender on Antekumpo and he can't drive to the rim.

He's not better than a prime Howard.

Bledsoe has been complete ass, standard for him in the playoffs.
Game 4 was a stinker for most of the bucks though.

Giannis at the line is painful to watch

:roll:

He's a more versatile defensive player and much more capable as a scorer, has some handles and creates more shots for his teammates than Howard did.

He's a lot like mid-2000s Lebron. Not as good at passing but he gets to the line with ease and is almost unstoppable when his teammates make their open 3s.

He's averaging 26/13/5 in these Playoffs in just 33 MPG, those would be peak numbers for Dwight Howard when he played like 40 minutes a night, though he never averaged more than 2-3 assists.

Raptors are built to beat a team like Milwaukee. You got great defensive players in Green and Leonard to stop him from driving and Gasol/Ibaka provide some nice help defense. Giannis has got little help from his teammates in these two road games as far as making 3s go.

I agree, very underwhelming player who only can take advantage of travelling.

He is a good defender though.

[jlip]

As a scorer, Giannis definitely needs to improve his offensive repertoire. At his height, he needs to develop a back to the basket game as well as some semblance of a jump shot outside the paint. In this series once the Raptors pack the paint and build a wall he becomes very containable, and several of his kick outs are not particularly planned, but bail out passes as he's gotten caught in the air. Defensively and on the boards he's a beast though. At 24, he's still young and has time to improve.

[Phenith]

He's a physical beast, but his actual skill level is still pretty raw.
He doesn't have a reliable jump shot, he relies heavily on his strength to bully/stiff arm his way into the lane, and when he is met with resistance, he often travels or even double dribbles which is just as frustrating as watching Haren push off and travel all the time.
He'll be a top tier player for years just because of how freakish he is, but this is his 6th year and the still has a way to go with his shot so it's hard to trust him as a go to guy. Basically he's the kind of star that you have to build the right team around or they will struggle.

That s why I always believed they shouldnt even semi contest his shots...

Wide open shots for a bad shooter = choke.

Sounds like a young LeBron, though I'd say young Lebron had a more reliable jumper.

[Atlantis]

He's so physically gifted he hasn't had to find a niche. When he does...

Good points. He needs to get a jumper good enough to keep the D honest. It's doesn't have to be the best. BUT when people say he's better than a peak Bron, I just LMAO!!! Bron's scoring skillset was much better. Bron is a better passer. Was an All League defender. And just as dominant a scorer by the numbers.

Greek Freak's mark is having the best positional versatility in the league. And from there, being arguably the best all around player (scoring-passing-boards-defense) as a package in the league. BUT the most versatile player OR the best all around player ISN'T always the best player in the league.

The most premium asset in the sport IS still alpha dog level scoring. And u have guys like KD, Curry, Bron, Harden, Kawhi, AD, Embid, PG, Lillard, etc. who are just as good or better than Giannis in that regard. And many of the guys I named ARE STILL considered great all around players and very versatile in their own right! No doubt Giannis is a top 3-5 player in the world though!

[Walk on Water]

I watched Antekumpo again. Still didn't see anything in him. Leonard dominated. How is this guy great again?

[I.R.Beast]

After watching all the travelling and stiff arming and being bailed out by officials vs my celtics I can honestly say that Greek Freak is manufactured by the league until he learns to shoot.

Doesn't seem very coordinated or experienced. :D
