Is Giannis Antetokounmpo the best player in basketball?

[Packbuckman]

I'm sorry but there is no way KD isn't better than Giannis. This is no slight to Giannis, KD will likely go down as one of the top 10 players to ever play the game.

Where do you think Giannis is going to be ranked at the end of the day? I know way down the list somewhere not me I think Giannis ceiling is just higher than Durant no slight to him. When it’s all said and done you can put their careers side by side when Giannis wins titles it won’t be because of teaming up. By the way Giannis ceiling is top 10 player I don’t have Durant that high maybe top 20.

At 26 KD accomplished more as a player. Kd is arguably the best scorer of all time I’m not sure where Greek will be ranked these next few years will shape the narrative but his lack of skill will hurt him in the long run.

Well if Giannis just keeps what he’s doing the last 3 years that’s something better than KD. Giannis wasn’t a finished product like KD but he just got better every year and is now just the better player. His skill is more than people like you think it is plus Giannis is a legit 7’ footer that can punish people as he gets older something a Durant can’t do.

I think Jokic has performed better than any single player in the league this season. The single best player overall is Lebron.

Jokic is definitely easily the best offensive big man in the game but i'd say it's neck and neck between him and Embiid on who's the best overall this year in terms of big man. Can't go wrong either way imo.

There won't be any consensus until the Bucks make it deep in the playoffs but objectively speaking yes, he is. He dominates on both ends of the floor, I don't think he wins MVP this year even if he has the best numbers in the league because he's been playing at this level for so long that he makes it look easy, but the level of skill and agility he has considering his size is astonishing.

He is the reg season best player when the travels arent called and he can do whatever . But as soon as the playoffs start he moves to barely a top 10 player, same boat as Harden imo.

Lol whatever Giannis would be a champion already if he wasn’t young af at 24 and shot 50’s from the line. When he’s shooting the ball from the line like he is now 75 plus playoffs regular season it won’t matter you can’t guard Giannis with out fouling him. And the travels you say he does that’s just bull he doesn’t do nothing different than every other player he just takes way longer strides and can jump and stretch farther than anyone else.

I remember someone commenting in a different thread about how Giannis isn't particularly athletic lol. I still think about that sometimes.

Watch on YouTube

What the hell was that guy smoking? Giannis is arguably the most explosive and coordinated player at his size in the league.

Bump.

40/13/5 in a throwback classic, legendary Game 7 victory on the road.

I now hand the crown to Giannis, the best player in the league.

Giannis >> Durant, LeBron

bro giannis doesnt even think hes the best player

[Simmons25]

Nope.. he isn't.

[Saciid11]

Durant is the best player right now ...

[Dupp]

Even he knows it’s KD

[dribble1614]

now that he will very likely have led his team to an all-time great title run and easily take home FMVP (barring a major collapse), a very worthy bump. just goes to show how quickly perception can change.

All-time great title run vs the broken down Nets, 5th seeded Hawks, and the fortunate to be there Suns? Ok

[Ballerhogger]

hess missing a 3 point shot and turn around jumper so no.. Great player though and he misses FT a lot.

[Tatum43]

1. Curry
2. Bron
3. KD
4. Giannis
5. Doncic

[Infinite Llamas]

Answer in February. No.
Answer in July. No.

But he’s getting better, which is always nice to see

[ReginaldDwight]

Giannis has been the best player of the last 3 years imo. Dude has his warts but i think of all the top tier players talked about Giannis consistently is a positive in all three aspects of the game more then anyone else in the league. Bron is close but dude has been dogging it a bit.

[CobraCommander]

Giannis get that ring and his resume gonna say Yes but We all saw KD at his best… and no one else’s best looks like THaT -
