We Need To Have A Conversation About Giannis Antetokounmpo

Thank you for FINALLY giving him some attention! People hate for no reason and voter fatigue hit him hard. Getting the Lebron treatment at 29 years old

Giannis just had the greatest volume scoring season of all time and nobody cared. Yes giannis is underrated

This is the opposite of never winning a ring curse, you get a ring and everyone is ready for you to retire now

2x MVP, 1x DPOY, 1x Champ and Finals MVP. This dude is arguably one of the 3 best power forwards of all time.

As a bucks fan, it feels like no matter how good giannis is he won't win a MVP no more. And it is frustrating to have 3 all star caliber players and throw it to the trash with doc rivers and darvim ham to coach it

He's still mvp caliber. The most talented player in the east by far.

Giannis gets so much hate for no reason. He’s definitely become underrated, I’m so tired of the “no bag” narrative. People don’t give him his flowers so thank you for doing so

Saying Giannis played '3' of the 5 games last year vs Miami is so disingenuous. He got injured in the 1st quarter of the 1st game and forced himself to come back the last 2 games CLEARLY being still injured and still dropped 38/20 in the elimination game. You guys driving stupid narratives like the one i mentioned is the reason why you made this video

I’m firmly believe Giannis is the best player slightly ahead of Jokic and if he wasn’t injured and played in these playoffs I think he would’ve put that debate to rest

Giannis’s performance to close out that finals was probably the best playoff performance I’ve ever personally seen, having not been alive to watch basketball in the 90s or before.

he’s got the same energy as tim duncan. he’s just unbelievably dominant in a way that isn’t flashy at times. it goes under the radar but in terms of intangibles there’s no one like them

The thing about Giannis is he gives his 100% every damn game. ON BOTH SIDES OF THE FLOOR. The consensus three best players in the league have been Jokic, Luka, and Embiid. As great as Luka is, his defense is just atrocious, Jokic is a good defender at best, Embiid is the only guy out of these three that is elite on the defensive side, however he has his post season slip ups. But here’s Giannis, a guy who is ELITE on BOTH SIDES PLUS he has proven he is a playoff riser. I don’t get why people don’t see Giannis in that that best player in the world category. It honestly baffles me.

He’s still top 3 IN THE WORLD guys cmon

It was "we can't give this guy MVP until he wins a Finals" which is crazy to begin with. Then he won Finals that year and it's "is it Embiid's turn or do we give it to Luka yet?" They don't even look at numbers anymore and Giannis on the Bucks is one of the best teams. Without they're a first round out. He does need to play healthy this year especially playoffs, but people are constantly biased and look for their favorite story. They forced Joel Embiid to get an award because he isn't getting one any other way.

He's definitely been underrated. Since his injury I've seen some of the worst takes on Giannis. People forget about that finals run

People that call Giannis solely "run and dunk" are the most dismissive basketball fans out there. His offensive game is so much more than that. The amount of euros, spin and swim moves he uses to get to the basket is crazy. He moves so fast for his size he is practically impossible to defend unless you throw multiple bodies at him, but obviously his playstyle wears him down due to how much he gets fouled on what could be argued as every play. Not to mention, Giannis's passing might genuinely be the single most underrated skill a player has in the league, he makes so many ridiculous finds and throws to shooters and cutters. He is insanely good as both a P+R ballhandler and roller, they did that stuff a bunch with him and Khris as well as Brook. The Bucks coaching the past few years just did not utilize him off-ball enough with his movement, it's something I want them to take more advantage of. Lastly, his defense isn't even a question for how much better he is than Jokic/Luka on that front. I do think we will see him be more on-ball this season so that will be fun. It's a clear 1A and B between Jokic and him for me.

YES YES YES he defenetly has become underrated

As a bucks fan, i am happy to see some love on my goat ❤. Giannis is the best player on earth and he’ll show it this year. 30+ppg on 60% fg last season and best 2 way player on earth. Can’t get better than that

It’s straight up crazy that people don’t think Giannis is a top 3 player. 30 points on crazy efficiency while being an amazing defender. Dudes a walking double double and probably the 3rd best scorer in the league (behind Luka and Embiid you could argue maybe SGA but I don’t think he is that level yet). You can make a really good argument for Giannis being the best player in the league. (I personally have Luka at 1 and Jokic and Giannis as an interchangeable 2). Extra note: I’m not a bucks fan so I don’t want anyone to think I’m biased towards Giannis, I just think he ignored by the media.

The Bucks had one of the best off seasons and nobody knows about it. The vet minimum signings they brought in are all fantastic and could potentially be some of the sneakiest and best of the entire NBA season, like Derrick Jones Jr was for the Mavs. We also have really good young players that nobody knows about it because they rarely played last year, and it's gonna be funny when the Bucks have a fantastic season next year, defensively and offensively, and people act like this is unexpected. Also, for the record, the Bucks starting lineup was number 1 in net rating last year. Above the Nuggets who people say is the best starting five in the NBA. People need to stop acting like the Bucks are a bad team with bad pieces, including you Kenny. The pessimism is built off of bs media narratives that were either directly lies, or lies due to the ommision of important context. They were and are gonna be a really good team
