He’s averaged over 30 two season in a row over 60% and it’s the only time it’s ever been done lmao and it’s so normal it seems

He’s pretty much a walking 30/10/5 these days and that’s absurd lol, imagine telling someone 10+ years ago that we’d have an elite 6’11 two way slasher who is also the main playmaker/ball handler.

I hope the Bucks manage to put something together this year because level of play wise I think Giannis could quite arguably be a lot higher in conversations than people realize

He’s pretty much objectively the most dominant scorer out of the “elite two-way ⁴⁄₅” types but a lot of people won’t ever consider viewing him as better than guys with 3-5 rings

Like if you break it down what he brings to the table is matched by very few in NBA history

He’s made 7 consecutive All NBA 1st teams - only 12 have ever done that. If he makes an 8th this year, the number goes down to 9. Like, we all know he’s awesome and has been for a long time, but in the years since the title run in think we’ve collectively forgotten a bit through the haze of Jokic’s dominance.

Wemby will probably get the hype for most part today around the league, but man Giannis is just insane.

He took 26 shots in 27 minutes. That’s more than most superstars take in a full game.

Relax it was the wizards. People love to overrate players based on performances against bad teams. Not a knock on Giannis at all, he did what he was supposed to do, but call me when he does this against a top 5 team (which I have no doubt he will do)

Skinny Giannis?

are you seeing what wemby is doing…?

I just don’t understand why specifically NOW everyone decided to move Luka over Giannis lol

You can’t go wrong with Jokic or Giannis they’re clearly the overall top 2 of their generation to date and it’s not surprising that the reigning MVP and FMVP would get the rankings boost

But what exactly has happened over the last 12 months for Luka to surpass Giannis in so many lists?

Even at the end of ²³⁄₂₄ which was Luka’s clear best season a lot of people still gave Giannis the edge but somehow ²⁴⁄₂₅ of all seasons when Giannis definitely played better shifted that?

The timing just doesn’t seem to make any sense you’d think Giannis fell off which he didn’t it’s like people somehow conflated “Bucks are past their prime” with “Giannis is past his prime”

Only if Jokic, SGA, and Wemby are ahead of him

Def not Luka

I would keep the Top 3 being Jokic, SGA, and Giannis, and wait a bit on Wemby, though I also wouldn’t be surprised if Wemby wins MVP this season

The league is extremely fascinating RN

Why yall acting like calling someone 4th best is hate lol?

I agree with you that he’s #2 rn (maybe 3 after the ridiculous shit Wemby is doing), but it’s not crazy disrespect to put him 5.

SGA then Giannis?

Giannis vs Wemby are going to be some of the most fun 1 on 1 matchups of the year.

I might just be a homer, but that feels like a low bar

I hope so. I feel like he doesn’t get the appreciation he deserves because of that alien in Denver. His consistency has been incredible, one of the all-time greats

HAWKS?????

Folks get fooled by the hawks

They are the cardinals of the nba for a reason

Clint Capela was actually a decent defender on Giannis in Atlanta. Those games are always a grind.

Ahead of VJ? Unlikely

I don’t think it’s that hard to get top 3 in the east since most of the good teams have players that are injured. The only teams the Bucks are competing are the Cavs and Knicks.

I think the Bucks could finish with a higher seed than people think given their conference

“We have Giannis” by itself is unironically a reasonable argument to be a top 4 East team lol

The gap between him and whoever the 2nd best player in the East is (probably Brunson or Mitchell) is astronomical that has to be worth at least something

Bucks roster isn’t even bad. 4 out lineup is perfect for him. Good shooter everywhere except kuzma. They’re going to win 50

Let me know when he joins that mid team, that would suck!
