When I watch Giannis play, I dont see a 2x MVP at age 25

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.

You’re not winning a ring with Harden as your best player. Or Durant is not winning a ring without at least 1 top 10 NBA player in his team, these are all proven facts that can be said for just about anybody. Basketball analysis is lazy at this point.

Me either
His halfcourt game is trashy
He needs to learn some post moves, some finesse and add some midrange Tim Duncan style too his game

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
Thanks for proving my point.

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.
Good is relative to the competition. What team did LeBron face in the 2nd round of the Eastern Conference as good as this Nets team?

I agree, I don't like his game. He has little skill, just a physical freak and uses it to his advantage (as he should :manny: )

I'm taking guys like Tatum, Trae, Luka, Booker and Mitchell over him :hubie:

Those mid 2000's Pistons teams and the 2008 Celtics were REALLY well-rounded and great defensively, and had a lot of scorers on offense.

The Nets offense obviously better than those teams, but LeBron's supporting casts those years was way worse so it evens out.

The 2008 and 2010 Celtics would be the correct answer and LeBron performed accordingly ie subpar to his regular season efforts. I remember very clearly what the narrative about LeBron was at the time.

All I'm saying is, the script can change extremely quickly in this league.

shyt was acceptable at 18,19 when he was raw talent but at this point his trainers failed him

Legit looks like some shyt on 2k when a guy isn’t good but just tries to mash turbo speed. This dude has two MVP’s man...
