You said Giannis has no true skill yet he had better numbers in every category than AD this season. Giannis is going through the same exact thing AD went through when he was in NO. You give Giannis a top 10 player and we aren't having this conversation. That's why I said there is no point in having this conversation with you. You are too bias when it comes to discussing the Lakers.


IF YOU DONT UNDERSTAND THE SKILL DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIANNIS AND AD, THEN THIS CONVERSATION IS POINTLESS

I watched him regularly as Pelicans season ticket holder for 4 of his 7 seasons in New Orleans.

Him not wanting to play the 5 down the stretch(4th quarter) was frustrating....he can’t play with his back to the basket.


He’s basically a more athletic Lamar Odom with less handles.

Come in here and apologize for this bs.

Harden isn't better than AD neither is Giannis. Inflated ppg aside, AD is a better two way player than both of them.
I think so too but considering Harden has went farther then AD in the playoffs mulitple times and Giannis has led two 60 win teams with 2 MVPs to match it is debatable and either one of them could be over AD on someone else's list and i wouldn't blink twice.

So AD> Giannis? People been saying the opposite the last few years


Amazing how people change their minds when the player in a winning situation


With good coaching and great players around



Let's be honest If it wasn't for a few people on this team


AD would have sat out alot of games and not push through it

AD has better handles and footwork, better mid range, better 3pt shooting, better free throws, post game, and a higher bball IQ than Giannis.

Giannis is living off his athleticism at this point in his career, driving to the basket with his strength and speed on the break cant be fukked with in the regular season but when it gets tight and turns into a halfcourt game in the playoffs hes exposed, similar to Westbrook who also puts up historical numbers.

And yet last November when LA went to Mke and AD was his primary defender, Giannis destroyed him, it was embarrassing to watch. And I as well as others spoke on it in the game thread here, hit fades, turnarounds on AD, backed him down, blew by him to the hole, and locked him down on defense...

Going into that game I was up in the air on who was better, probably with a slight lean to AD...

So AD has all these skills over Giannis yet Giannis has performed more dominantly on a consistent basis. Giannis can handle the ball from a creating offense standpoint much better than AD, is unstoppable in transition. More importantly, his blackout mode has proven to be stronger than AD's, who has some of the quietest 40/50 point ganes you've ever heard of, in terms if impact...

You guys really overrate skill, which doesn't correlate to winning. Anybody in an NBA rotation has skill, you cant compete at that level if you don’t have it. How you play with the variety of talent level around you, and how you perform in a varity of different circumstances, is what determines greatness...

NOT A TROLL POST

WHO IS MORE SKILLED+DOMINANT IN THE LEAGUE RIGHT NOW OUTSIDE OF KAWHI?

DURANT MISSED THE SEASON SO HE DOESNT COUNT

HARDEN CHOKES YEARLY

GIANNIS HAS NO TRUE SKILL

WESTBROOK? LILLARD? MITCHELL? EMBIID? JOKIC?


AD IS THE ONE BRODIE

U CAN EVEN ARGUE HE’S THE BEST PLAYER IN THE NBA NOW THAT KAWHI EMBARRASSED HIMSELF IN GAME 7
