Bron was taking them deep in the playoffs. Gamnis can't get past the second round .

Jrue Holiday > Mo Williams

Middletown > Big Z
Doesn't matter, still didn't win.

No opposing team from Bron's playoff career outside of the Warriors teams he faced in the Finals could get close to this Nets team. Really doesn't matter who is on the team outside of another set of comparable All-Stars.

Bron took worse teams on deeper playoff runs. Losing in the first or second round does not hold the same weight/merit as losing in the finals or conference finals.

He'll be a HoF lock but he's a #2 option masquerading as a #1. Unless a better offensive option walks through the door, you're not winning a ring with Giannas being your best offensive player.

Young Lebron was a more complete player but I like how y’all conveniently forget what it took for even Lebron to break through and win:comeon:. Yet your expecting Giannis to win with Middleton as his running mate in a league where multiple top 10 players team up:skip:

At least Giannis is getting eliminated by Kawhi and KD and teams with bonafide dawgs. And not like Dwight Howard :pachaha:
:comeon:

Giannis needs to half court creator next to him ie Booker/Harden/Beal. Middleton can't make it happen at the level needed to win a championship.

Bron had the same problem before he teamed up with Wade.

We used to complain about his halfcourt offense, lack of post game, outside shooting etc. but with the right players he turned into Thanos. Same can happen for Giannis.
:dwillhuh:

Nobody is even expecting Giannis to win a championship, they just don't want to see his game crater in the postseason. Giannis' production has routinely decreased from regular season to postseason. Giannis even struggled to score efficiently last series against the Heat in a series that was a sweep.

Bron's production has always increased in the postseason. At 24, two years younger than Giannis is now, he averaged 35 PPG in the playoffs and 40 PPG in the ECF without a second option nearly as good as Middleton, Holiday, or even Brogdon in a league that wasn't as scoring friendly.

Show me one playoff game Giannis has as good as this:

I don't have to. My point wasn't to compare Bron to Giannis directly as I explained earlier in this thread. You obviously stopped reading at that post and didn't read further.

1. Because he likes to play on the perimeter

2. He's supposed to be a 2x MVP
He doesn’t “like” to play on the perimeter it’s just how he was developed and how the coach draws up the offense.

Giannis made an ECF.

He is a deserving 2x MVP.

Stop comparing him to Bron.

Again, doesn't matter. He lost.

Yes it does matter. Teams dictate there success on how far into playoffs they get. If Khawi lost last round, the amount of smoke he would've gotten is a lot more than if he loses this round.
A coach can get fired or a team can be blown up for a first round exit whereas a deep run may mean you just need a few more pieces

Dudes trash if he was smart he'd adjust his game . Great players don't let coaches dictate how they play. Regular season player . Imagine CP or Bron letting a coach dictate there playing style

This.

nikkas trying to act like Giannis doesnt' have a good team around him makes me sick.

Holiday
Middleton
Lopez
DiVencenzo

shyt is way better than what LeBron had in Cleveland. Hell, that roster is barely worse than some of Dame's rosters or even Curry's 2012-2015 rosters.

Some of y’all disrespectful as fukk,Giannis is clearly the best player on a championship team and he isn’t overrated just has a hole in his game that needs to be fixed. He earned those Mvps and deserved those mvps

So you’re gonna lie and pretend the competition Giannis is facing isn’t better than what early Lebron was facing?
