Giannis got injured too. It's not his fault he's a freak and not a weak b*tch so he can actually play through it.

the only reason they're in the discussion is because they collude to play together.

For sure KD

But Lebrons 2016 is more impressive

Down 3-1 vs the 73 win GS

Love missed a couple games and averaged under 10 ppg

And the lakers aren’t a superteam. 3rd best guy in finals was Kcp or Caruso. Compare that to Jrue...

I'm proud of the bucks but they wouldn't have beaten the nets without the injuries to Irving and Harden. Just being honest.

Yeah he didn't have two other all-stars on his... er... wait a minute... It wasn't a super-team sure.. but it wasn't a bunch of scrubs either.

Congrats to Bucks and Buck Fans! What a wonderful year for you and your team.

Please tell me the last year Jrue was an all star?

It's all well and good that every few years a non-superteam can win due to probability or injuries but I'd much rather there be a permanent solution. There'd be no way to stop superteams from forming through drafting but surely there's something that can be done with the cap to discourage superstars joining up.

Being healthy is a physical trait, i mean where would lebron be if he was as injury prone as Kahwai?

I hope this starts a new trend for future stars, lebrons superstar buddy empowerment needs to die.

Well sure, Giannis isn't getting past 3 top 15 players. Even the GOAT (MJ) wouldn't have been able to with the Bucks' squad.

GTFOH man. Only reason KD won the chip he joined the team who won 73 games & choked while winning 3-1 in Finals.


How much did you smoke tonight? Go celebrate, have some fun. Pillow fights on realgm ain't the way to celebrate.
RealGM loves you, Melissa.

Lol this is my whole point. Makes durant look even weaker

Durant harden or any of these ring chasing stars will never get full respect after giannis won without a super team

Giannis is now 1-0 on finals appearances. He should just retire. Like Mayweather to keep perfect record

RGM mods are in shambles after there are now multiple players ahead of LeBron as the best players of the league.

Truth hurts? KD wouldn't have a ring if he didn't join 73 Wins Warriors team.

Hope Jokic and Doncic are taking some notes. You don't have to join a super team to win it all

The only reason these scared stars get together is because they can't go one on one against a guy like Giannis. They need to stack the chips so unfairly to go at a player like Giannis.


Just when i get on the Giannis is the best in the world bandwagon someone goes too far..

Those scared stars wasnt thinking about Giannis when they teamed up lol. KD didnt look so scared when he almost took him out by himself.

Props to Giannis tho. This series performance proves hes the best in the world imo
