Giannis was banned from mvp in 2021 because of his playoff "failures" at 26, Embiid is 30 and he's never been to a conference final, I'm just observing tho
My favorite Giannis game of the regular season:
54 points
19 rebounds
2 assists
19/39 FG (53.8%)
2 3PM
10/15 FT (66.7%)
Fried Zubac's face in 36 minutes played with Kawhi ducking to guard him
Giannis really missed two free throws demanded the ball after the offensive rebound took a 3 and made it in Jokic's face 😭😭😭, if all else goes wrong with the bucks I'm confident we have the best player in any series
Most consecutive games scoring 30+PTS on 65% shooting in NBA history:
5 - Giannis Antetokounmpo
4 - Shaquille O’Neal
4 - Karl Malone
4 - Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Wow 😳
"You & Giannis are being too nice. You & Giannis gotta make sure the troops get it done." 💯
Shaq's advice for Dame heading into the second half of the season
Dame Lillard to Bucks.
Awkward fit for Dame.
Synergy: C+
🟢Lopez (aries)
🟢Giannis (sagittarius)
🟢Middleton (leo)
🔵Connaughton (capricorn)
🔵Lillard (cancer)
I can see a downgrade in synergy from last season. The talent is there, the chemistry may face some issues.
Giannis is shooting 61.1% from the field (no player in nba history has ever shot 60% from the field in a 30ppg szn) and is one of 13 players in the league averaging at least 1 block per game and at least 1 steal per game this season
So far this season:
Giannis
— 30.8 PPG | 11.4 RPG | 6.3 APG
— 3 seed
Jokic
— 26.3 PPG | 12.2 RPG | 9.0 APG
— 4 seed
Shai
— 31.3 PPG | 5.6 RPG | 6.6 APG
— 2 seed
Luka
— 34.3 PPG | 8.8 RPG | 9.6 APG
— 8 seed
As of now, who is the MVP?
It's very rare for a player like Giannis to truly get "shut down", but the Timberwolves and their
#1
defense did exactly that.
I broke down some of the defensive strategies they used, how their personnel makes it works, and why their defense is so incredibly good.

Jrue Holiday wasn’t a fan of how Milwaukee handled the Dame trade

JOKIC HAS NEVER BEATEN A 50 WIN TEAM IN THE NBA PLAYOFFS, BLEW THE BIGGEST HALF TIME LEAD IN A GAME 7 IN PLAYOFF HISTORY, GET THAT FAT SLOB OUT OF ALL TIME TALKS WITH MY FUCKING GOAT 34, IF THAT PIECE OF SHIT COULD PLAY A LICK OF DEFENSE HIS TEAM WOULD'VE WON EASILY😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Giannis Antetokounmpo says the Bucks are Damian Lillard’s team
“I am his biggest fan. Good or bad, I ride with Dame until the f—ing end. I ride with Dame. Like I’ve been saying this over and over again. This. Is. His. Team. Down the stretch, he’s going to get the ball. There’s
In 2014, the Milwaukee Bucks were the least valuable franchise in the NBA. Nearly a decade later, they are now a top 10 valuable franchise.
The difference: Giannis Antetokounmpo
Giannis’s loyalty to the city and Bucks fans has created the story of a new hero inside Milwaukee,

The "Jays" duo tonight vs the Bucks:
17 Pts 🔥
7-20 from the field (35%)🥶
5 Rebs 😴
6 Asts 🤤
-31 and -17 in a 40 point loss 😂
Best duo in the nba? Championship favorites?
The one where he blew by Myles Turner and he clearly held him and everyone on the court froze for like 2 seconds thinking it was gonna get called was just egregious
Giannis: “I believe there’s way more contact out there than the one I get called for, sometimes I feel like guys get to go to the freethrow line for way more less contact than I get.”
