The Giannis supporters can't see the

forest for the trees.Giannis's problem

is he has minimum ability to create a

bucket for himself during crucial/high

pressure moments of big games.For

all his freak athleticism & shiny stats,

he has poor situational basketball skill.

Until he improves in those areas, he will

be a proverbial "Pippen"..

think more accurately he’s shown to be a prime shaq…moreso than a Pippen..thoughts after watching having one of the most finals of all time?

not even on some troll gotcha shyt either…you just stood out as one of the more serious Giannis critics, interested in what you think now

His heart & competitive fire can't be questioned.I still think his ability to be a closer at the end of games is a weak spot.As I said before, during the last 5 minutes of the game, he becomes Shawn Marion.Not bad, but not all that scary for a guy with his freak athleticism.A lot of that comes from his struggles at the FT & lack of any post moves.Although I must admit his baseline/one foot fade shot is a nice add to his arsenal.He knocked that shot down at a decent rate versus the Suns.I think the match up with the Suns was very favorable because they lacked the size to make it challenging for him underneath.Ayton's a big soft turtle.Doesn't have one tenth of Giannis's competitive fire.I honestly think Ayton has the athleticism to be more of a resistance to Giannis, but he just doesn't have the heart, or confidence to put forth the fight.Giannis is fukking beast, but more for his tenacity, and will power imo.His athteticism/motor combination is GOAT level.Unfair shyt.For all the criticism I had for him over the years, I'm genuinely happy to see him get over the hump.Seems like a good dude/family man.Classy sportsmanship, also.For some reason, you don't find his snares/mean mugs offensive.Even when he shytted on my squad with the alley oop at the end of GM 5, I didn't feel some kind of way about it.Congrats to that man.
