he's actaully having a great postseason. But it's overshadowed by:

his horrendous FT shooting
the crowd counting to 10 every time he goes to the line
beating an injured nets team in 7

came in to say the same…plus he’s the team’s superstar so when the team looks bad some of the spotlight will fall on him…it’s not “fair” but it is what it is…but he’s a solid 30/10…you’re gonna get that from him more often than not

Giannis isn't closing is the issue. It is taking Middleton n Jackson to catch fire in the 4th in order for them to win close games

Meh, most people don't know what they're seeing and hope these hot takes give them a momentary clout boost.

I saw him doing fade aways the other day, shoot jumpers in the pInt and by the free throw line, effortlessly euro step between defenders.

At his rate of improvement, increasing his ball handling, post moves and jumper he will be one of the most dynamic players in league history.

A real hard worker, salute this man.

Middleton is an All-Star, Jrue is a fringe All-Star year in and year out.

In fact these guys are playing better or comparable to Wade and Bosh in the Heat era and have been more available/healthy especially than Bosh these playoffs.

So why do LeBron “super team” get brought up but Giannis getting crowned for supposedly not winning with a “second star”. :jbhmm:

Narratives is a crazy thing :hubie:

:dwillhuh:


Not even joking, there is some kind of mental illness that needs to be studied.

Let's say there were shots at Bron in this thread. Why do you think you need to defend him?

Were cats in '02 saying, "Shaq with a mid hesi jumper fadeaway would be the GOAT"? :mjlol:

They were. It was "Shaq can't do ish outside of 5'" or so. But Shaq did have a better handle than Giannis right now, and was a better passer. But with Shaq, other great bigs could move him off his spots to block his shot, and straight veteran him.

Shaq was raw in Orlando, but it wasn't until LA when Shaq added the jump hook, perfected his drop stop, played the waiting game in the post.
