The Lakers are proof Giannis is incredible

[hiphopanonymous]

Westbrook
Melo
LeBron
AD
Dwight and Marc Gasol

Looks like Lakers have decided 2 or 3 aging perennial all stars no longer enough, gotta turn the dial all the way up to max these days recruiting former MVP's and scoring champs, rebounding champs DPOYS etc and yet still Giannis wins in a toxic NBA climate like this with a young organically developed core :oldlol:

[Jay-B]

Lol this would of happen regardless of who won, Lakers were coming back with vengeance for all their injuries last season. And Giannis would never be a champion if it wasn’t for a asterisk injury riddled year. A healthy Nets team is beating the Bucks in 5 next year.

[Lebron23]

Healthy nets and current heat would beat the bucks next year. Bucks are the weakest NBA champion in the last 10 years.

Well I’m sure the bucks are doing something, they still have mle. Might be someone safe like Danny green or high risk like oladipo

Bucks won't repeat. 2nd round fodder next year.

More Help

[ShawkFactory]

I think they’re probably more concerned with the Nets...

[Gohan]

We didnt need the lakers to tell us giannis was incredible. He did that himself despite what a hater might say

Pretty sure the Celtics could beat the bucks next year

Are we supposed to be impressed by the Lakers signing scrubs like Melo? Do you think Marc Gasol or Dwight are anything more than role players rn?

[Pip' N Rodman]

LeBron and AD are the only players on the roster that are Top 50 players in the league

[warriorfan]

LeBron doesn’t have a dick anywhere near as big as Giannis. It’s just that simple.

These Lakers have 5 first ballot HOFers... albeit only 3 near their primes but still.

No excuses!

They are a very old team and in my eyes it would be a miracle if they win the title this season.

Beating the Suns this year was a whole lot more impressive than beating the Heat last year.

[ArbitraryWater]

what do you mean "and yet still" ? did Giannis beat this team?

Lol

Since 1980, any ring won by Lakers players are fake, colluded rings.. including Kobe's.. All Lakers are tumbling down my rankings becuase I realize how manufactured their rings are.

Since Magic entered the league, the league has basically been a Lakers league where the powers that be conspire to send all the talent to LA... So the Lakers never have more than a few down years before they get all the talent again.

It's funny how Russ is all of a sudden a superstar again :lol

I don't think we'll see any anti-Lebron guys use the term Westbrick anymore.

And as for you list, you forgot Booker and KAT. KAT is arguable because of the injuries but if healthy I think most would probably take him.

So here's where this conversation gets tricky... Westbrook already peaked, we know that, but do you think any of the bolded guys could carry a mediocre roster the way Westbrook can?

HELL TO THE NO. Not even at 33.

But would most of them play as better specific roles on championship teams? Probably so.

So what does best even really mean? No one can ever really answer this question, because I'm not even sure there's a knowable answer.

But playing a role or not playing a role there are a few players on the bolded that I absolutely would not take over Westbrook for 1 year, lol.

It's who would you rather have on your team. At least for me.

I don't think any team would trade any of guys you've bolded for Westbrook for the upcoming year. Even the non championship contenders.

He might get you a few wins in the regular season because his energy will carry you on nights when other teams are facing back to backs or aren't into the game for whatever reason. But once things slow down I think any team would take their chances with their guy, because at least there might be something special. With Westbrook you know exactly what you're going to get, and at this point I don't think it's going to help you win in the playoffs.

I don’t think you realize how bad his efficiency is now that he can’t shoot FTs. WB back when he could shoot FTs yeah I’d take him over many on the list. But he can’t now. Also he’s 33 and declining. He just was unable to get to .500 with Bradley Beal in the weak East so I’m not sure why you still think he has the same impact he used to. Lol at CP3 being less able to carry a mediocre roster btw.

Westbrook doubles Pippen in every category, with the same horrific efficiency (actually pippen's was worse)

So Jordan/Westbrook would win every year, while Lebron/Westbrook/AD isn't even favored.

2016 Cavaliers would beat the bucks in 5 games. Bucks beat some injured teams in the playoffs.

[k0kakw0rld]

Giannis did not beat anybody. He did not prove anything. Nets are fully healthy he is not beating them. So what exactly has he proven?

[ScottieQuitting]

Only cowards hop franchises in free agency. That’s small dick energy.

80% Durant almost beat the Bucks. Now let's act like Jrue Holiday is not arguably the best perimeter defender in the league. Let's pretend Middleton did not ball. Like what are we doing here?

And Kawhi did not prove that when the Raptors built a wall in 2019? Giannis is not the first guy to win without having to form a superteam.
Stop boosting Giannis like he is some type of savior. NONSENSE.

The benefit of super-teams is favorite status in Year 1, like Lebron's Heat or Cavs (11' and 15')..

Otoh, Giannis built a 15-win team to champions over many years by learning to play with Middleton and developing a team identity and brand of basketball.

That's the learning curve of winning an organic title.. The talent doesn't matter as much compared to the team simply getting really good at playing together and developing a way to win that works... Giannis completed this learning curve, while Lebron never did - Lebron only learned to team-hop and never learned to WIN (organic).

Y’all really keep trying to reimagine the Giannis/Bucks situation as a love story about preservation.

They traded the whole squad just like any other team to keep Giannis from walking. https://news.yahoo.com/bucks-went-underrated-1-time-172959172.html

Lol, is that what this is all about? Getting Kawhi praises for 2019? I don't know about everyone else but that is one of the finals that I did enjoy watching. The difference between Giannis and Kawhi is that Giannis did it with a team that he committed himself to. That is rare nowadays. Plus just having almost the certainty of having a Nets/Lakers or Nets/Clippers finals just because of how dominant these lineups supposedly were. The injuries simply normalized the competition. I'm not hating on the 2019 raptors. I respect that one as well.

Giannis and Middleton raised each other from babies, while Budenholzer helped them develop championship strategy and facilitated their learning curve on how to fit with teammates.. Lebron never climbed this learning curve of learning to win (organic) - he literally doesn't know how to win and only team-hopped

Btw, Barkley now thinks MJ is goat because he says "let's not act like Lebron didn't stack his teams, while guys like Giannis and MJ didn't"

Giannis is gonna get exposed in the playoffs again. Doubt he makes it out the East.

It takes colluded super-teams to beat Giannis, aka cheating.

If everyone had an organic cast, Giannis is superior to Lebron or KD, who needed super-teams.. Lebron and KD never won without super-teams as the clear-cut top producer.

For the regular season? Sure.

Ok… Giannis was a project player when drafted and Middleton was drafted by Detroit and wound up in the G-League considered as not having much upsize… So if Giannis or Middleton never panned out it was a no loss situation…

Lebron was in high school on nationally televised games in high school (I know I said it twice). Drafted No 1 and literally had the weight of Cleveland on his shoulders…

Budenholzer came from the tree of Pop, which is a fruitful tree and honestly had no pressure on him tucked away off in Milwaukee…

Truth of the matter when it came time for Giannis to resign they dumped the current roster and brought in who. They brought in… That’s not organic, that’s keeping your star happy so he won’t ghost…

Lebron had who exactly on the bench as Coaches? As GMs? As Owners?

And team hopping? He’s never asked to be or never been traded. He honored his contracts. Left each time under player options so what exactly is the issue with Team Hopping as y’all like to say?

Dude came out as a high schooler so he got more freedom to go wherever he liked once that rookie contract ended… like when end of career players get together it’s like hell yeah! Lebron does it and he’s breaking some rule it seems…

Giannis and MJ didn’t have to buuuuut they also had Owners, GM and coaches that made it not necessary… big difference…
