What's even more impressive is that his stats aren't empty.
But hey, some people have the winner mentality and some just don't.

Remarkable that the game comes so easy to him. Imagine averaging almost a point a minute at that fg% without even being considered a good shooter.

There's nothing you can really do with today's spacing. How many players in the league can stay with him and at least force him to take a contested shot? Try double him & he kicks it out for a wide open 3 and they got plenty of shooters on that squad as one of the 5 best 3PT shooting teams this season. Can't really hack-a-Shaq him either because he found his confidence from the FT line again. He's averaging 32/11/6 on 57/35/77 splits in his last 20 games and he's only playing ~33 mpg.

4th in history for fewest attempts to score 50..... only Wilt with 4 and Karl Malone had fewer.
(win over Indy)

This thread got 1 star? Does that mean some people aren't happy about this?

Yep the bronsexuals are desperate to get their hands on any title possible as the sun starts to set. Same reason they want to leech the Rams parade. :lol

And he scores from all over. And it seems like he coasting a lot of the time this year. It is the beginning of him feeling out his man body and you can tell he's nearly the strongest player despite not being a heavy guy and has a good touch. He's the fastest of the big men. His handle is very close to that of Durant's for best ever on a 6'11 or taller player. He's one of the few players that utilizes nearly all of his natural advantages.

LeBron has never averaged 30+ppg per 36 minutes
Giannis has done it 4 times including this year and has proved he can do it in the playoffs as well
He's genuinely the most physically dominant force we have seen since Shaq
Let's not forget he did it the right way sticking with the franchise that drafted him instead of taking the easy route and teaming up with other superstars

Giannis has a great shot at being top 10 all-time but somehow is flying under the radar. We hear more about Kyrie than Giannis in the press.
Giannis is somewhat more like TD. Quiet and just focused on his team and the game.

He isn't any "more focused on his team and the game" than guys like LeBron, KD, Curry, etc.

LeBron's legacy is still better than Giannis (and it's not close)
Giannis got lucky that the Bucks gave him a better supporting cast (not to mention how lucky they were last year that Harden and Kyrie got injured in the same series).
He is still a great player, but there is no shame in not being as good as King James.

Obviously LeBron is way ahead of Giannis overall
Both won their first rings at the same age, Giannis would need to win 2-3 more with the Bucks and win a couple more MVPs + continue to dominate in his mid 30s to even be put in a conversation vs LeBron all time
We'll see...

I'd actually lean more towards betting on these things to happen than not. But yea, he has a lot of work to do.

Leads the league in 4th quarter points as well. Team plays better when he takes the point position.

Why isn't the greatest scorer of all-time leading in scoring? A conundrum.

He's averaging 8.6 ppg in 8.7 mpg in 4th quarters. Efficiency is on par with his overall averages as well.

Giannis has Wokey-poo SHOOK.
He knows the writing's on the wall. He and the rest of the Bronies are just PRAYING that Giannis gets injured. Because the way things are going, by time all is said and done Giannis will have taken a massive dump on Brony's career.

Seriously, how the fck does THIS topic become a LeBron thread :lol Y'all seriously don't even like basketball, and most definitely don't give a shit about Giannis, you just obsessively post about one player.

They are very insecure because LeBron is still tearing it up at his advanced age & still has couple years remaining as an elite player, even if he is not top 5 going forward. They know Giannis is still playing catchup and will be for most of his career.

When you play to be named one of the all time greats, it's always 'catchup [sic]' you moron... which is exactly why they call it a record.

Every star statpads.
He's lucky that the Bucks' front office has given him a very good supporting cast. Other players haven't been as lucky.
