If he’s a center then having a midrange and post game would be great for him I like he actually will try some 3s
Some of it is just frustration, I like Giannis because he's a throwback in mindset and I'd love to see him stay with Milwaukee and build something special there but his skillset is all over the place and not in a good way. I have no doubt in my mind he tries to fix his skillset issues but it's still frustrating seeing a broke jumper and an underwhelming interior game for a player of his very rare size/length/athleticism, the guy has obvious tools to be the clear best player in the league one day but yet I still don't ever expect anything outside of a dunk to go in at this point of his career
As for the ones that don't want to see him succeed, him having a really good RS resume (such as being in the MJ/ Hakeem MVP/DPOY class) before 27 while not having the most refined game and also not making a single finals is a bad look especially since he's had 2 teams good enough to win the finals (and failed to even reach it) and this year's team is also good enough but he still has a chance so I'll wait and see how he responds in game 7

Players taking shots at Giannis is because of a couple of things...
1. Giannis is not perceived as skillful by guys like Harden and McCollum who are elite shooters and dribblers.
2. Giannis is not a very friendly dude to guys who aren't his teammates for example he does not participate in work outs or offseason runs with other NBA guys (outside of his brothers).
3. This dude is an a$$hole on the court bullying dudes, throwing bows, drilling dudes in the head on "accident", very demonstrative when angry. There's a whole compilation on YT of him getting mad and it's like 10 minutes long.

The Coli should actually love Giannis for a bunch of reasons
He's a throwback, not on that buddy buddy shyt, which you Coli alpha males claim to love.
He's continuously improving nobody has improved as much as he has from the time he was a rookie.
He's coachable and team oriented good rapport with Kidd and Coach Bud, it's almost to a fault where y'all complain about shyt like Kidd changing his shooting form or developing him to be a perimeter player rather a big man or Coach Bud not putting him in at center more or having him guard KD. In his post games he's always crediting coach, talking about sticking to the game plan, praising teammates, all that. He's not a "coach killer" and y'all quick to label guys that.
He's loyal to the organization that drafted him. Coli claims to hate "super teams" and guys leaving their teams yet Giannis is set to be a Buck for life.
He's a non-shooter but puts in countless hours to improve and has improved throughout his career. Unlike, Ben Simmons he actually will take jumpers.
He's dominant and physically imposing like Coli hero Shaq the closest thing we've seen.

He got "crowned" too early, plus dude hasn’t evolved his game at all.
It's like Harden said a few years ago

How has he not evolved his game? He's a completely different player than he was as a rookie.
How did he get crowned too early? What does it mean to be crowned? If it means to be one of the very best players in the game did that not happen?
Why aren't other 7-footers just "running and dunking" it takes no skill right?

What's this all about?
I get preference for more silky players. I get hate from fans his team plays against during the game or series.
But the vitriol, jabs, disrespect handed his way from players (CJ McCollum was aiming jabs at him on Twitter), fans, people on here... I have never seen anything like this.
And it's not like we're speaking about a cocky lazy individual here. This is someone who came in as a nom-top 10 pick and worked his way to become a 2 time MVP, DPOTY and the anchor of a team that has been one of the best in the league.
So what is it? Is it his lack of finesse (still the hate seems outsized)? Is it that he's non-ADOS?
Giannis haters feel free to comment.
they are resentful that he relies on god given talent. How has zero skill in basketball.

Cats just take what Harden said out of anger and parrot it.How has he not evolved his game? He's a completely different player than he was as a rookie.

His lack of a all around game leading to some terrible playoff performances. PG plays smooth as butter but he still gets hate for not showing upWhat's this all about?

What has Harden accomplished post-season wise to warrant this not just being a hater comment?
