He's also developed the LeBron James syndrome where he blatantly uses his elbows when driving. Anyone who has played a little of bball can understand how frustrating it is to defend people who throw out elbows when they are driving.
There's nothing humble about Giannis. He shouldn't be, he's the MVP. But to act like he is a nice person like say Kemba, or Duncan or Klay: lol.
The mean mugging is so forced. I can't believe he did it in the celtics game after the ref bailed him out from fouling out twice.
I think that was the game that I realized celtics have really likeable players (having Lowry certainly helps me appreciate Smart more) and giannias is a fake tough guy.
If you've seen enough games of the Bucks you'd know that certain teams/players defend Giannis with a really dangerous/floppy way of having defenders fall backwards before contact to draw a charge.
The Celtics do that-and Giannis really doesn't like it.
I clearly remember Moe Wagner and the Wiz constantly flopping on the February game-when Giannis was fouled out.
When your team has a GOAT defensive gameplan and rotation GIannis apparently will praise his opponents-like he did with Leonard and Gasol last year.
When the opponent dangerously flops at his feet,Giannis will headbutt Moe Wagner.(Or scream "why are you falling?" at Semi Ojeleye)
But this cuts both ways. Giannis gets away with a ton of fouls on offense and is generally well protected by the refs leaving not many options if you're a defender.
