you're naming skills not actual athleticismBeing more ripped isn't an indicator of athleticism.
Handles, shot, passing, blocks...
giannis has kds frame with much more muscle, broader shoulders (to take contact) and more shiftiness when attacking the rim...while being just as fast if not faster than kd.
kds first step might be faster cause well...he weighs less than giannis.
kd might win a sprint...giannis is winning in the long haul
giannis does long ass euro steps from the 3 point line and shyt
Giannis is faster in the open court and much stronger, also Giannis was the better rim protector of the two last year. You can't use defense to say he's a better athlete when what allows him to really step it up to a new level defensively is the fact he plays on the best team ever.
How would Giannis look in the Warriors defense....playing next to a all time defender in Dray
KD IS THE BEST DEFENDER ON THAT TEAM...
POSSIBLY THE BEST IN THE LEAGUE.
HIS DEFENSE STEPPED UP
BEFORE HE WENT TO GS.
WE ALL TALKED ABOUT THIS IN 2016.
GIANNIS CAN RUN FAST AND JUMP HIGH.
KD CAN DO THESE THINGS ALSO.
ITS THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF ATHLETICISM THAT PUTS KD AHEAD.

Pass me the rock nikka
Nikka you stupid.LMAO @ "MORE RIPPED"
LIKE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH ATHLETICISM.
STOP QUOTING ME.
KD IS MORE AGILE,
HAS A QUICKER FIRST STEP,
MUCH BETTER FOOT WORK
AND IS JUST AS EXPLOSIVE.
GIANNIS IS JUST LONG AS HELL
AND CAN JUMP HIGH.
KD IS ALSO THE BETTER DEFENDER.
HAS THE LATERAL QUICKNESS TO LOCK GUARDS DOWN
AND FAST TWITCH MUSCLE FIBERS
TO BLOCK SHOTS AT THE DROP OF A DIME.
Being ripped with less than 5% body fat and a god damn 16 pack and nothing but quick twitch muscle fiber has nothing to do with athletic ability y'all but footwork which has to do with skill does.
Giannis has the quicker first step all he does is switch directions and blow by defenders with his first step, outrun every one down the court in transition, or post you up and bully you. Giannis is stronger, faster, and a higher leaper than KD, he is a better athlete.
Also, no KD is not the better defender. Giannis can do everything that KD does and anchors his team defensively already has an All-NBA Defensive team he came into the league as a defender KD didn't, KD plays within a system and with strong individual defenders all around him.

HES MASTERED THE BRON BULL DOZING STYLE THOUGH.
The way this dude finishes with the left is insane.
who_better_than_me
Time to go!!
based off your saying,
So cassel was more athletic than Francis, and BDiddy.
Moses was more athletic than Ralph
You equate dunking more as more athletic?
Nikka you stupid.

BEING RIPPED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ATHLETICISM IDIOT.
BARKLEY IS TOP 10 ALL TIME IN ATHLETICISM.
STOP SPEAKING ON shyt YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT.

Dray is still the heart and soul of the Warriors defense, KD was a very good defender his last few years in OKC, but he would never be at this level if he weren't on the Warriors today.
Giannis is the better athlete, hes devoid of all these skills KD has offensively yet hes putting up a ridiculously efficient 30 right now because of his athleticism. How is it possible for KD to be more skilled and more athletic at the same time? It's not, he strikes a better balance of athleticism and skill while Giannis is all athleticism right now.

Ole dumb ass nikka Barkley had a different body type and I ain't say that was the end all be all. Barkley had great speed, explosiveness, and strength.

He just doing this KD best defender on the Warriors shyt to spite Draymond
David West and Jordan Bell have been amazing defensively this year as well.
Even Omri Casspi is averaging a career high 1.8 blocks per 36 minutes through 10 games.

Speed means nothing?
How is Giannis scoring like Shaq in the paint, what is it that makes him so different from other wings including KD.

Isn't athleticism just the physical qualities that make you good at a sport.you're naming skills not actual athleticism
giannis has kds frame with much more muscle, broader shoulders (to take contact) and more shiftiness when attacking the rim...while being just as fast if not faster than kd.
kds first step might be faster cause well...he weighs less than giannis.
kd might win a sprint...giannis is winning in the long haul
giannis does long ass euro steps from the 3 point line and shyt
As it stands KDs physical qualities make him better. In order to show this I gave you examples of where these differences come to fruition.

this was a year and a half ago
he grabs the board...accelerates from the opposing rim to the 3 point line in 2.5 seconds
decelerates....
changes directions twice in the euro step...then explodes on a good shot blocker with little effort.
mind you...he's probably stronger now than he was then
im sorry theres no reality where kd is more athletic
