He’s been nothing but flames this year. As good as Jokic is, Giannis is peaking right now as well, a solid case for MVP exists for him. He’s looking like shades of late Miami late Cleveland v2 LeBron, which is in running for strongest peaks of all time. Especially if he stays cooking from midrange, it’ll really unlock his game and make the team true contenders again. Him in the post is a nightmare not many teams have a good counter for still. If anything he’s still one of the most physically dominant players in the league, and he looks more driven this year, he’s looking like the Greek Freak but better, and he’s sharpened his approach to the game from blunt hammer to a pickaxe warhammer, it’ll still get the job done but it’ll be be more efficient and unstoppable to scale. I feel like he needs just a touch more of KG in his game, and given he’s already a mini condensed Shaq this would be incredibly rare and spectacular to see. The purist in me would really love a full health Nugs v Bucks seven game series, led by two of the greatest players we’ve seen.
I think given how competitive Giannis is, he probably hates the Celtics, just unfortunate Embiid couldn’t make the list here to add in some more rivalry. Embiid is almost a bust in comparison to Tatum and Giannis and Jokic now, injuries and an incompetent FO really worked against him so it’s tough. But yeah the Celtics, I think Brown is going to take another step forward this year, and with how good Tatum already is plus having a unicorn, with White Holiday, it’ll be a very tough team to climb. But I think the Bucks are there right with them now. Khris will get better, Dame is looking like he’s setting in now. The team just needs to play solid defense and take shots when they can, with Giannis being a seemingly more imposing presence this year shots will fall into their lap. He will give them a chance every game alone by just being the highest tier player in that entire conference.
