Man if this mafukka start hitting threes it’s over

[Hacksaw Jim Thuggin]

Dude is insane, my MVP candidate for this year

he was a candidate last year too....early....he faded as the season went on....

we'll see what he does this year?

 

[Drip Bayless]

He abusing nikkas in the paint
Tbh if he develops excellent midrange/pullup game he only needs an average 3 to keep the defense honest
I’m fukking nikkas up with him on 2k already

 

[steph_harden]

Iunno about that J yet. Still looks so slow and mechanical. People say Bron couldn’t shoot at the same age but his jumpshot was way more fluid than Giannis’s right now.

We’ll see...the nikka is a tireless worker in the gym so it should eventually come

 

[Renegade47]

throw in some mid range too to make the cypher complete

 

[Jax]

Always knew he was gonna be a star, since the first draft analysis videos.

 

[Captain Crunch]

When him and AD winning ships on the Lakers

AD; Kawhi, and Giannis?
fukk the cap space huh

In 2k I switch him to PG and abuse nikkas

They don’t even realize they got they little ass point guard guarding him until they down 15.

Anyone that tries to use the "stat padder" label as a serious critique of any player is almost certainly an idiot.

Westbrook and Harden were both heavily statpadding last season. Westbrook forcing assists/rebounds and Harden playing deep into garbage time.

 

[Biscayne]

Not EVERY player can win an MVP. Alot of great players don't have an MVP to their name. As impressive as Giannis is.

 

[Biscayne]

This could be said for a lot of players breh

Right. What Giannis is doing at his size is impressive. But numbers and similar statlines aren't as out of the norm nowdays in a league where bigs are expected to play on the peremiter. People are already saying MVP and potential LeBron/KD all time tier.

 

[MikelArteta]

milwaukee got that shiny new arena to keep him as well

Even being naive enough where you're oblivious to players stat-padding since the game's inception.

A typically pointless comment but I understand hit dogs holler so you had to post something

This is why you'll never understand the game, because you're still stuck at square one running around in a circle, trying to make sense of what everyone else is talking about.

right...

like its easy to go out and score and rebound....

if it was so easy....why dont more players do it?

Because players understand they just can't go out there and stat-pad without there being consequences. If all five players of a team went out there and padded their stats (cherry-picked and didn't stick to their defensive assignment just so they could hang around the paint to grab rebounds), do you think that team would ever be in a winning position?
