Giannis is having a crazy season
- Thread starter Street Knowledge
- Start date
Meanwhile @Gil Scott-Heroin is running around this board trying to push his “buh buh buh is Giannis realllly that good defensively” snake oil salesman pitch when the nikka he’s a groupie for is on this video looking like a got damn human turnstile….. NASTY fukkING WORK
That classic Gimmick Scott slight of hand …. as we all know even Giannis personal “least impactful season” is greater than a large swath of players in the NBA …especially the euro CaC who’s defense this grifter constantly puts a cape on for …. But what else can you expect from this con man …another day another non serious poster humiliating himself on a public forum ….Sad
NASTY WORK.Gimmick nikkas trying to do victory laps like we didn’t watch Giannis lead his team without Brook Lopez nearly all last season
This Clown Is Shameless
A gimmick posting nikka told me Giannis “ain’t impacting that side of the ball like that” … now ain’t that something?
All you can do is laugh at gimmick posters when all they've got left is deflections.
Now THIS is what you call “downplaying” @Thavoiceofthevoiceless
Son done spent untold man hours touting Draymond as one of the greatest rim protectors in basketball, defending the rim at more or less the same volume the same rate as Giannis this year over the course of the entire Warriors dynasty….
@ThavoiceofthevoicelessHere's some stats for you @Long Live The Kane:
In the 2015 playoffs - Dray defended 6.8 shots in the paint (11th in volume), holding opponents -6.8% under their average
In the 2016 playoffs - Dray defended 8.7 shots in the paint (1st in volume), holding opponents -16.1% under their average.
In the 2017 playoffs - Dray defended 6.7 shots in the paint (4th in volume), holding opponents -11.6% under their average
In the 2018 playoffs - Dray defended 7.5 shots in the paint (6th in volume), holding opponents -11% under their average
In the 2019 playoffs - Dray defended 6.9 shots in the paint (11th in volume), holding opponents -12.8% under their average
In the 2022 playoffs - Dray defended 5.1 shots in the paint (22nd in volume), holding opponents -16.6% under their average.
Keep in mind too that these are per game averages, and Dray played more games than almost every single player in each of those playoffs, so it makes his numbers that more impressive that he was able to sustain that level of paint protection for six Finals runs. It's why he is the best defensive player of his generation.
Dray led the league in total shots defended in the paint in five of the six of those postseasons. Is that enough volume for you?
Now dig, Giannis has been to the playoffs seven times and the highest he's ranked in volume was 36th at 4.4 shots defended in the paint.
Marinate on that.
I bet you ain't gonna be tagging @Thavoiceofthevoiceless after this.
This is what defeat looks like.
Giannis' rim protection consisted of standing by watching Jimmy torch his team on the way to a 1st round exit and Dray's out here doing everything that he can (even defending Fox on an island) on the defensive end in the playoffs.

Dray's rim protection in the playoffs - opposition players are shooting -11.5% under their usual FG%
Giannis' rim protection in the playoffs - opposition players are shooting +13.5 over their usual FG%.
Checkmate @Long Live The Kane.

In a thread about Giannis, exposing themselves about Giannis, and then deflecting with something else when proven wrong. Nasty work.
