50/14 who gives a fuck

you were always talking about "clutch doesn't matter" when you were dick riding LeBron in Miami.... you said overall impact on the game is what counts because it doesn't matter if its the 1st or 4th quarter where the stats come from

Why do you compare Giannis to LeBron?

Giannis is not LeBron, not even close. Giannis is a freak athlete but he'll never compare to LeBron skill wise, IQ, etc.

Dude can drop 50 points on straight up freakish athleticism and size, which nobody can deny. But nobody is going to watch him and say "damn that guy is skilled" like they do prime LeBron rofl.

Giannis doesn't need to be LeBron for my statement to be true. You have moved the goal posts for Giannis where in the past you made exceptions for LeBron's 4th quarter performances

Factually Giannis put up 13 pts in the 4th quarter to Middleton's 6. How is it that Middleton gets credited with being clutch? What a fucking joke

Maybe learn to admit you're wrong. The man put up an All-Time legendary performance in a Finals close out game and you can only say he isn't skilled?

Yeah Giannis is skilled because he's an NBA player and he's an elite player at that.

But compared to other superstars, everyone can agree he isn't that skilled. Low basketball IQ, average at best handles, no post moves, no jump shot, and decent passing but nothing special there either. Guy is the most freakish athlete the league has now without a doubt, but his bread and butter is bully ball and there's nothing wrong with that when you're that big, strong and fast.

He's tough as fuck and doesn't let the outside noise bother him, which i respect. When he plays bad he keeps coming back and playing aggressive and that's all you can ask for.

imo really underestimating giannis' skill level especially on the defensive end

his defensive rotations, awareness, and timing are world class

He's an elite weak side help defender, no doubt about that.

On-ball defense is good for his size, but he gets exposed against quicker guards/wings that can create. His length makes up for much of that though, so he's able to recover fairly easy. Still can't hang with the KD's of the world though.
