Remember when Giannis had these dudes heart's melting with the "oooh? :ohhh: we can dip oreo cookies in milk? :gladbron: This is the best thing ever! :banderas:"




:mjlol:

that ol fish outta water hallmark channel holiday special ass bullshyt :dead:

the funny thing about the giannis being viewed as the innocent foreigner who loves smoothies and making dad jokes is that he's notoriously one of the dirtest players in the league, dillon brooks type shyt yet it gets ignored :dead:

Dennis Rodman would say hell no it isn't just effort. Studying the trajectory from players shots and tracking the ball is a SKILL.
Are y’all really about to make this a real argument? Are you saying top NBA athletes don’t all have elite hand eye coordination? :why:

Because that’s the route you’re taking. Rodman was a hustle monster, he out worked everyone else. You can be a cyborg with tracking systems, if you dont have the physical gifts you better damn sure have the tenacity.

Edit: And I know what he said but it’s a ridiculous quote. Anyone who plays ball knows where shots will likely careen off the rim based off the shooters position/other factors like arc of shot etc. Rebounding is still is mostly reach, height and hustle

So basically he’s saying KD and Steph dont work hard/put the work in as much as him because they’re naturally talented? Sounds like a backhanded compliment IMO. Who is he to say that Steph and KD aren’t “obeessed”. Early in his career, Nobody predicted steph to be what he is today. In addition, steph was dealing with lots of injuries and he bounced back like a mf

I get it. He's skilled but durant and steph are rare. The ability to stop and pull up from anywhere on the court. Giannis ain't like that.

He's maximized his career through hard work. Literally has improved what were weaknesses.

Unlike that hoes AD
Here’s the thing. Steph and KD maximized their skills through hard work too. And all of the other elites. All of the top players (talking GOAT level, best in the league types) have maximized their natural talents with EXTREMELY rare exceptions. It’s just guys who are less skilled seem to always be working harder to the naked eye, but what it usually is is the more skilled guys were honing their craft and working hard from a much earlier age.

And many players wish they could get away with so many offensive fouls...

He's incredible player though, one of the very best.
