Kenyon Martin: Both Dame and Giannis have never ever in their careers told to play a different way

- "You got 2 guys right, they have not been forced to play any other way then the way they are playing now. And has had major success playing that way. Giannis is an MVP, champion, etc. Dame is on the all time scoring list, Top 75, etc. Both got the ball in their hands 70% of the time. It's human nature to kick in for Giannis to say oh we won a title doing it this way, I know what to do to win?"

- "I love Dame, love his competitive nature. But who has Dame ever made better that has played with him? Dame is a hell of a talent, but when you look down to it, you can see has happened in the playoffs. Fell short because he felt it's all on me and I'm gonna take every shot. Even as good as CJ was, he was still limited with Dame on the floor"


Astute analysis from Kenyon Martin

The host also mentioned that since the end of March, Dame and Giannis have been outscored by 3.4 points per possession when they play together

Doesn’t help when you got a “players” coach that doesn’t ask you too

Question for you guys: if the Bucks and Mavs had swapped Dame for Kyrie at the start of this season... would the Bucks be better than they are now (record and chemistry-wise) and would the Mavs be worse?

Mavs would EASILY be worse. Kyrie is literally the prototypical #2. Can play off the ball and create his own offense, and clutch. Dame has 0 clue and unwilling to play off the ball

Kyrie on the Bucks would be slightly better, but not by much. But at least he'll have a backbone to yell at his teammates

Good brother @Primetime lets not ask foolish questions we clearly know the answer to on a Sunday

DAMIAN LILLARD IS A fukkING PG
HES SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE BALL
IN HIS HANDS...

GIANNIS NEEDS TO TAKE HIS ASS
TO THE POST.

HE ALREADY HAS A 7'2 CENTER
SPACING THE FLOOR.

PUTTING UNNECESSARY WEAR AND TEAR
ON HIS BODY IS GONNA BREAK
HIM DOWN SOONER THAN LATER

#NeverForget it only took one game for Jay Williams to see what he was looking for.

Jay Williams said Ime Udoka was the first black head coach for the Boston Celtics

Dude is an imbecile

Idiot gets paid to spew out stupid shyt like this

 

[The_Sheff]

How can you be outscored by 3.4 points per possession?

Every time the Bucks get the ball with those 2 on the court the opponent is scoring twice!?

Nah, that's the kind of skillset that made LeBron still thrive even without barreling through everyone in the paint like he used to in Cleveland.

Giannis developing his playmaker skills will guarantee he's not going to go straight to Larry Holmes Gardens after his prime.
