And one in the Nets series.

Giannis has 5 total. LeBron has 28 at #2, Jordan has 38 most overall.

LeBron dragged those cavs teams to the finals.

Surprised so few with the heat, but a lot less heavy lifting on a super team.

I think Giannis hits top 11-15 by this playoff run and top 10 next year.

Given that he'll probably go full Freak Mode from here on out, he might get to Kareem at 9 these playoffs. No one would argue Gianni had an awesome game in Game 2 and he had 33. Should the Bucks beat the Bulls he's gonna have to go for 35-40 nearly every game against a really good Celtics defense.

It might be the whippets talking, but damn if Giannis isn't some unholy alchemy of Connie Hawkins and Moses Malone.

Definitely looks like a Disney flick.

I will forever cringe looking a Gianni's last name spelled wrong and his brother having a passport with the name spelled differently.

I'd love for him to go back to the Nigerian spelling but I think he loves Greece too much.

Well, I guess someone has to love Greece.

That's why (IMO) he will be at his best when his athleticism actually starts to decline a little and he will be more inclined to use all these other tools that he actually has already. But he just likes putting people in the basket too much.

I been wanting Giannis to use a jump hook/push shot for the longest. He goes to it sometimes but not nearly enough, if he could just scrap the pull up threes and replace all those attempts with these and paint middys it would do so much for his and the teams overall offense. Would save his body too with the heavy carry job he has to do even when the team is heathy.

What an amazing series from Giannis though, obviously the finals is more important and he had the immortal 50 game but this series was easily the best he’s ever played. Such a shame that it will be forgotten because it was an all time great individual performance. Reminds me of a couple of those pre heat lebron series where he would just lose to a team with way more help.
