Where would Giannis rank after championship?

[ISO]

We have to start talking about where Giannis would rank after winning a championship this year...

At age 26 this is his resume...

• 2× NBA Most Valuable Player (2019, 2020)
• 5× NBA All-Star (2017–2021)
• NBA All-Star Game MVP (2021)
• 3× All-NBA First Team (2019–2021)
• 2× All-NBA Second Team (2017, 2018)
• NBA Defensive Player of the Year (2020)
• 3× NBA All-Defensive First Team (2019–2021)
• NBA All-Defensive Second Team (2017)
• NBA Most Improved Player (2017)
• NBA All-Rookie Second Team (2014)
• Euroscar Player of the Year (2018)

This is already a HoF career through 8 seasons. In NBA history nobody has improved as much as Giannis has in those 8 years coming in as a raw, skinny kid from Greece. Assuming he is able to come back this series and pick up a championship and Finals MVP where does he rank All-Time? His trajectory needs to be start being talked about. He should easily hit the top 15 and pass players like Dr. J and Karl Malone in the coming years.

We should also note that the last three seasons he has basically averaged about 28/12/6 on 57% FG with DPoY level defense. He broke the single season Player Efficiency Record that was held by Wilt and year after year his 'lytics are only rivaled by Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

I expect a lot of narratives denying and downplaying this dude's greatness and dominance...

Top 20 or Top 25

He's had 1-2 years as the "best player in the league", but in 1 of those years got out early in the playoffs despite being a top 2 seed.

And not that many years as a top 3-5 player, yet.

And his skillset has at times been what has cost him in the playoffs - which will always hurt your ratings.

 

[triplehate]

Top 900 at least

 

[Loose]

Top 20 easily. Im putting him over guys like KG barkley etc with a ring.

 

[goatmane]

How is he top 15,20, 25 all time when he's not even top 5 currently active players undisputably and u could argue another 3 guys over him for the playoffs

Thecoli dikkriding for Giannis is disgusting

Time after time We got NBA players and analysts looking at this dude game and being...

Did bearing the corpse of the Nets and having Middleton have 2 of the GOAT quarters in NBA history boost this man up

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

Top 15

he's not even top 5 rn and u couod argue another 3 ppl over him for the playoffs

Thecoli dikkriding for Giannis is disgusting

Because you can't argue that

Giannis is averaging 28/13/6 in the playoffs he did this in a game 7



Let me guess fukking Chris Paul is better

Nah, the Coli hates Giannis

 

[ISO]

Nikkas really saying he's just top 50

After a championship, 2 MVP's, and a DPoY he's only top 50

Damn, that's funny I wonder where we have seen this same scenario play out before, I know a team who won a chip before a certain player got there

The Bucks without Giannis played above their head against a non Trae Young lineup and a hobbled Trae Young in the lineup

That’s all fine and dandy but GS wasn’t gonna beat Lebron and a healthy cavs team without KD, they wasn’t beating Houston without KD

Giannis went down and the bucks honestly looked better. They didn’t need him and this won’t make him some top 20 player you cocksucker

Some fools value longevity over peak and prime for some insane reason.

Peak and prime >>>>>> longevity, especially if the peak and prime are not just a few years.

Trae Young was injured dummy.

When he gets exposed this series you’ll see.

Trae Young was injured you dumb mf.

GS would have swept Cleveland without KD and with an injured LeBron easily. They could have beaten Cleveland without KD and with a healthy Bron.

Imagine thinking the Bucks are better without Giannis
