Has Africa produced an elite wing player 6'7" or under?

Seems like most of these dudes start out playing soccer: first they wanna be a striker. Then they hit 6'2" and decide it would make more sense to be a center back. Then they reach 6'4" and try goalie.

Brehs keep growing and coaches say "na-ha Jesus you should play basketball." Dudes have the physical ability but the other stuff takes work if you're a late bloomer.

GA almost plays like a wing which makes it even worse. He's gotta embrace his inner big man and get down on the block. Hit up Hakeem for tips.

People say "oh this player wouldn't survive the 80s blah blah"

NAH

IT'S GIANNIS WHO WOULDNT SURVIVE THE 80S BECSUSE HE HAS NO SKILL!

No developed post game
No crossover
No stepback
No start and stop
No quick first step
no jab step
no fadeway
Bad shooting
He carries too much
He charges a lot


All he has is length for dunks and a good spin move.

If he played in the 80s, he'd be Manute Bol.

Moses Malone won 3 MVPs and a title in the 1980s when his best move was rebounding his own misses. :usure:

We lying now?
Nothing you said addressed my post :russ:

Young Bron did not have a jumper . Giannis broke jumper won’t change that
It wasn't consistent but Bron definitely had a jumper even in high school. Trying to compare him to Giannis at all on that is disrespectful.

Bron's literal first few NBA shots were all jumpers and his motion looked better than Giannis's ever will:





Bron going 7-12 from three in Game 4 of his first playoff series ever:





Young Bron shot the 3pt well in high school, around 37-38%. In the NBA his rookie year he only shot 29% on 3pt (similar to the #'s that Kobe had put up the previous 4 years), but by his 2nd year he shot 35% from 3pt on 4 threes/game and 37% on long 2s, his 3rd season he shot 34% from 3pt on 5 threes/game and 40% on long 2s.

Comparing young Bron's jumper to Giannis's jumper is ignorant. 19yo Bron in his 2nd season made more threes and on a better % than 26yo Giannis has ever made in any season of his career.

Man please dude damn near scoring 35 a game . there's literally 3 men checking him .
Giannis will come back with a big game next game .
That fade away on harden in the clutches of the game was unacceptable. That's his problem there's times when he really shows there's nobody on the floor that can compete with him. Then he will do that.

I don't know if its scared of free throws or what but he has to be better in that part if his game.

He still young but he got out classed tonight by the best in the game.

Besides Durant nobody else would be holding Giannis from going to the finals.

He does get his 35, but in these situations the holes in his game are too apparent and too debilitating….. 35pts of sheer physicality won’t get you to a ring…. He’s gotta guard durant, 7ft vs 7ft er, he’s gotta hit free throws, and he has to have some knowledge of what he can and can’t do on the court…. I mean a turn around jumper :scust:….. THE WHOLE WORLD KNEW that wasn’t droppin, except him….he’s gotta get a clue

He has a spin move? I swear 80% of his charges would be avoided if he would just spin.
