I imagine it'll be one of those youtube videos that I watch several times every year for the rest of my life.
To me this Finals appearance felt like 32 year old Giannis
What I mean is, because of the injury he seemed not necessarily slower as such, but just more careful and considering his options a little better. Like he valued each possession, and finding the easiest and safest thing to do every time. Like he matured 5 years over night.
Don't know, maybe it's just my imagination.
He actually admitted it himself on a Greek reporter, talking in Greek.
He was asked "what can a two healthy knees Giannis do ? "and he actually answered " I don't know. The injury actually slowed my game down and I was more careful and precise."
