Re: Kevin Garnett Wants Giannis To Add 'One-Dribble, Two-Dribble Pull Up

Today I learnt:

25/10 in the last 2 playoff series as 'not having done anything' where both of his teams almost pulled off upsets against higher-ranking opposition with home court.

Also, Giannis only dunks. Fortunately, neither his FT or 3 point % is improving as the season goes on.

Apparently he's also lazy and isn't working on this afore-mentioned jump shot, or evidently anything other than dunking.

I feel so woke.

WOW. Yeah, I suppose when he trains with Kobe every offseason he must just practice on his dunks. You don't seem to really know anything about Giannis outside of watching his performance at the all star game last night so I'm going to be done after this. The only thing overrated about anything regarding Giannis is everyone's demand of a jump shot for this guy. He obviously doesn't need one to do what he's been doing all year. You can't reference his past playoff history as this year is completely different in almost every way in Milwaukee. You also say "only centers in NBA history were able to get away with his type of play for their careers", but Giannis plays some center. Your points are moot.

You'll see in time that i am right. Don't get me wrong, I've watched and have been amazed at Giannis athlete ability. It's basketball dunking at its best, just don't understand what this dude is practicing so hard on if his jump shot is still garbage. If he ever gets a jump shot he has a chance to be the best player in the league. You would think that would make him work on his shot more. BTW Ben Simmons is in the same boat, except he's better than Giannis was in his first two seasons but also cannot shoot. I don't get it, what did these guys do on the basketball court before they were tall enough to dunk basketballs ?

Wrong...dead wrong. Just stop the comparisons. Comparing Giannis to a guy that grew up with basketball just isn't fair. You continue to keep showing your lack of knowledge when it comes to Giannis' game, stats, backstory and come up. Giannis has put on 50 pounds and 2 inches of freakness in the last 5 years. He has improved his passing, game IQ, footwork and touch around the rim year in and year out. No need for a jumper and no need to reply.

Magic could not shoot that well to start and since when has their been guys as big as Giannis handling the ball he has no context to go on he is a moron

In his day KG was an absolute problem to handle... coulda been the prototype 3 & D, but never really extended his game past the midrange. His defense was some of the best the League has ever seen, but I do not think him giving advice to Giannis is a good idea. Best to stay in Area 21 with Steve Jax an' 'nelm

He would be truly unstoppable if he could do a step-back-after-a-step-back, ala Harden.

Haha, Giannis wishes he had KG's game. Over 20-10-5 for multiple seasons while shooting (including jump shooting) close to 50 percent and in some season over 50 percent from the field. See KG didn't start his career with a jumpshot but by year 3 he had a pretty reliable jumpshot. KG in his prime was a way better player than Giannis. Stop with the man vagina riding.

Kevin Garnet had handles, Kevin Durant has handles, both can shoot and do multiple things on the court at a high level and are both MVP's. Don't even try to bring Magic up, Magic is a basketball genius, few players will ever be the winner he was.

Stop comparing players with completely different skill sets.

Nah, bruh. You the only jock rider around here as evidenced by all of your posts fawning over KG. Look KG was that dude, but Giannis is playing at a higher more productive level. Don't believe it? Stop trolling and get on the internet and do some comparisons, baboso
