Giannis is going to finish higher all-time but there's a difference between facing the KD Warriors and the comp Giannis has faced this season. Let's be honest, the 2018 Rockets would dog walk this Bucks team.Wait someone said harden is better?harden would have bricked 15 step backs threes and gassed out yesterday. Harden my dog but nah

Who’s saying this tho? Certainly not me
This can’t be the most skilled era of all time when offensive players have such an advantage.
Nobody said Giannis isn’t good or isn’t skilled at all, but he’s pretty average
with god like athletic ability, you can’t stop Him from charging at you and basically either killing you by running you over or getting fouled. Given such advantages of course he’s gonna put up numbers.High quality poster

Lol breh what the fukk are you talking about?
Hakeem, Duncan, KG, Dirk, can’t dribble? Again when did you start watching basketball?
If Giannis played in a slower era where the paint was crowded with 7 footers do you think he’d be dribbling?
You acting like Giannis is the only 7 footer doing this now, he’s not. Those guys played in different eras, stop playing stupid breh
Top 20 where he should be. Like has been said he had a easier road with injured Lakers Nets and Clipps. Denver too. But to be available is a win and you still have to beat teams. He will have done his job and the records only see ring.

I don’t see how. The Bucks play well through adversity a lot of their games have gone down to the minute or have involved come backs.
Harden cannot be trusted to fight off runs, go clutch shot for clutch shot, or play well in must win playoff games.
Name the other 7fter dpoy putting up back back 40pt games on the finals

Khris and Jrue are playing at a higher level than Wade and Bosh did in the Heat’s championships. They’ve also been more available.
Connaughton is also shooting 50% from 3
How did he have less help hate you namedroppers

CACanadaThe 2018 Rockets are one of the greatest teams to never win a championship. The Bucks could have very easily lost the last two games against the Suns and while the Suns are a certainly a good team, they aren't in the same tier as that Rockets team. The 2018 Rockets are better than the Suns at pretty much every facet of the game besides shooting and even then, they shot threes at a higher volume. The Rockets are a better defensive team than the Suns, better at rebounding, have a significantly better and more efficient first option, have the younger and more explosive version of CP3, have the better rim-running and defensive big in Capela, have a better tertiary scoring option in Gordon, have better defensive wings in Tucker and Luc. There's a reason they were in position to beat one of the greatest teams of all time.
You're oversimplifying Harden's playoff record.. Harden's playoff efficiency as a Rocket is actually similar to KD's as a Thunder. KD's efficiency decreased pretty significantly from the regular season to the playoffs in OKC and he was never given the playoff choker label. Harden has had plenty of great playoff series' against elite competition:
- In his 2020 series against the Lakers (the best defense in the league) he scored 29 PPG on 66 TS% despite facing double teams and playing with an injured Westbrook.
- In his 2015 series against the Warriors he averaged 28.4 PPG on 63 TS%
- In his 2019 series against the Warriors he averaged 34 PPG on 60 TS% (better production and efficiency than both Steph and KD).
