All the evidence is amounting to the fact that yes KD has the best game in the NBA but you are not winning shyt with him being your #1 option
Giannis is a better leader and his a much better mentality
Giannis gets killed all the time for his FTs but he never avoids getting fouled like benamin simmons. Never gets H'd by his costars on a team
Giannis just took Jrue "I can't score and play defense in the same game" Holiday, Khris streaky Middleton, and PJ low basketball IQ Tucker to their first NBA championship.
He also carried a terrible coach Buddenholzer who been getting exposed all playoffs long and been getting saved by his players
There’s no need to shyt on his cast…

Jrue is inconsistent offensively but had great games when needed and his defense was a constant…

Khris was tremendous in the last 25 seasons only ‘07 LeBron James had more go ahead/game tying FG’s in the 4Q of a playoff run..,

Coach Bud isn’t a bad coach…you nikkas don’t know nothing about coaching or X’s and O’s none of that. Most of y’all can’t even contextualize simple things that happen on the floor. The cac actually coached his ass off and made several in series adjustments. How can a coach with close to a .600 career winning %, a title, two CoY awards be a “terrible coach”.

Giannis couldn’t be stopped because his team didn’t shrink like years prior. U weren’t going to play a wall defense on him. Even Pat Connaughton shot nearly 50% from 3 and rebounded well and Bobby Portis balled out in the close out. Giannis didn’t take them there, they went there together. Giannis actually grew a lot in these playoffs round to round.

What's Giannis weakness that he doesn't have a jumper? He doesn't need one.. efficient on offense and an elite defender. Where's the lie?
You're telling me giannis has no weaknesses now? His game is perfect? :dahell:

There's literally a thread in here about who has the least weaknesses in their game and a lotta people saying kd, no one saying giannis

Brus just stop man. No person with a credible basketball opinion considers giannis a superior player than Durant. I mean that's just it. No one in here spewing this would attest to it in real life.

How many chips Giannis wins will be dependent on so many factors its impossible to predict...but in terms of just overall dominance and accomplishments on both ends of the floor Giannis is on track to be the 2nd best player in the history of this league.
KD is a million times more pleasing to watch...but in terms of who's the better player, Giannis has clearly overtaken KD...and I've stated repeatedly KD has been the best player in the league the last 5 years.


Giannis is on a trajectory to be better and more highly regarded than Lebron...if we want to keep it all the way real.

KD has weaknesses people just disregard them because he’s a “hooper” and is an aesthetic scorer.

High dribble, loose handle, slender frame, mediocre passer not bad out doubles and reactive situations but not instinctual too many blind spots and weak limp-wrist passes and overambitious fast balls that lead to TO’s, not a great game manager or on-floor leader, gets jump shot happy at times instead of applying slashing rim pressure with his length. All these things are reasons why in the past he’s struggled against traps and double teams in the playoffs. He has a 4:3 career assists to turnover ratio which is mediocre for a high usage wing player. TO’s was an issue for him this season was averaging over 4 per 36 minutes for a good chunk of the season. Nets adding Harden put KD off-ball more and limited his TO’s a bit.

For many years in his career he was also a mediocre defender he has transformed himself into a very good individual perimeter defender and a solid shot blocker still has tendencies to get screened or backdoored ball watching not a strong team defender and that limits his defensive impact.

KD has weaknesses yeah he’s a beast and a lab creation but yes dude has flaws.

KD taking a blow on the bench while the DPOY, 2X MVP, 36points in a quarter and a FMVP on the court and somehow we suppose to believe that’s impressive.

He aint better than KD yet. But it's his league and he's reached a level of esteem Durant hadn't, and one that Durant is too old (going into Y15 coming up on age 33) to ever reach; Durant was never the face if The League...

Giannis now is...

But again, based off watching Durant outplay him in a series, I'd still say KD is the better player. The age differential between the two will ensure that doesn't remain true for too much longer though, if nothing else...
Giannis averaged 32/13/3 on 57% shooting vs the Nets (while dropping 40 on KD's head in game 7). And he did without the benefit of another superstar (KD had Kyrie for 4 games)

Giannis scores just as much as KD on similar efficiency if not better, is miles better on defense and they're both equally mediocre at playmaking. What is it about KD's game that makes nikkas think he's better? I'm genuinely curious
