Giannis Thread - MVP

Giannis is now in the top 50 for career TS% overtaking David Robinson. Should track down Davis and Lebron soon enough. Top 20 all time looks a good bet eventually.

He's 22nd all time in 2 point FG%. Should climb in that one too if he doesn't end up a volume three shooter. If he has enough seasons like this one he'll end up #2 all time behind D Jordan. :lift:

True or false: Giannis is still getting bigger during the season.

False -- now that he is 24, he can not get bigger.

I give up on PC board, there are people who believe that peak Draymond freaking Green was arguably better than current Giannis, WTF

Yeah people have differing what you think are outrageous opinions that are sometimes infuriating. Welcome to message boards and life in general.

When these opinions are absolutely nuts and hold no basis it becomes worse than trolling and just pure ignorance.

Giannis as an elite role players role would be pretty nasty to see. Could be able to amp it up more defensively but I don't think he'd be better than Draymond on that end. Warriors would use his' gravity as a dunker instead of shooter. Would be fun.

I like Draymond Green as a basketball player. That said, the Bucks with Giannis generate the most wide open 3s. Let's not kid ourselves if Giannis with his playstyle would help the Warriors more than Green.

Nobody in their right mind would take Green over Giannis on Green's best day. WTF? I guess it's a compliment to Giannis that everybody is trying to knock him down a notch or two. Put Green on this Bucks team in place of Giannis and we're in the Zion hunt or worse. We're the Pistons.

Isn't the argument peak Draymond? So you'd be getting a DPOY and a dude who could knock down threes at a decent clip. We would still be a playoff team.

Without Giannis, this team would be no better than the Terry Stotts era Bucks, imo. The Wizards game was a scary reminder.

Giannis is DPOy level this year as well and a better paint protector than green.

Green shot 38% on 3 attempts from 3 nothing game changing especially when we got much better guys on that department.

Interior scoring and overall presence of drawing 2-3 guys from opposite team to create spacing is the most valuable thing bar him insanely dominant on the paint. Green cannot provide this at any point because he isnt good enough for that.

Huge reason why green could shoot three and pass like that was because he has like 3 all stars next to him.

Pug Giannis on that 2015 Warriors team and they are untouchable while current Giannis easily averages a triple double form assisting Curry and Klay alone.

Nah Giannis is not a better defender than what Draymond was sorry. Hitting 38% from three is better than 17%.

Giannis' role would completely change on the Warriors. He'd be great at it but he'd need to adjust to not having the ball in his hands as much as he currently does.

On the paint Giannis is the better defender, green is better on the perimeter.

38% means nothing when you score 14 points on 10 FGA.

Come on now,this shouldn't even be remotely an argument,its just silly.

You don't adjust with Giannis, you just have a HUGE gap that your opponents cannot overcome at all, its either leave him 1v1 and he destroys you or you send help and Curry Klay have a field day.

Currnt Giannis on that team would've swept the cavs easily.

Draymond was legitimately one of the best rim protectors in the league dude.

I'm not even arguing about who the better player clearly is. Just that Draymond was really good and it wouldn't be such an easy straight sway as you think it is.

I'm honestly a bit baffled at the lack of marketing Nike is doing for Giannis, being he's a signature athlete and all going up against Harden (Adidas) for MVP. I guess they don't want to hurt LeBron/Kyrie/Paul George's feelings by showcasing the new kid on the block.

They've even had commercials with AD and Ben Simmons.

Can you guys stop being so damn humble for no reason please, it makes no sense for underrating Giannis crazy season for a guy that was good but nowhere that level, Giannis destroys peak KG at the moment, its not even funny.
