But then you have people on our board saying he’s a 16 game player or he always steps up in the playoffs when the numbers over the course of his career don’t actually support it. I love what he’s doing this series but he is still overrated by plenty on this board.
hes averaged 21/7/5 on .442/.391/.866 shooting splits over 79 games of playoffs
when hes been the #1 those years his production increases and often with the same efficiency.
wtf are you talking about with the playoff numbers not supporting it? are you referring to the fact he singlehandedly takes over playoff games some of the time and just not every time or what?
‘Steps up’ would mean shooting better than his career averages of 46/38/88 or so. He’s absolutely had great series where he’s done this and others where he hasn’t, so it has mixed results to support it.
only stars and superstars maintain their efficiency in the playoffs on high volume statistically. the fact he does it on the volume he does it with the explosions he has on the stages hes been.... as a guy "not rated a star or superstar".... is what makes him underrated or a playoff stud or take your pick.
he has regularly taken over playoff games for a decade and often when our back was to the wall and/or giannis was out operating as a lone wolf for the offense. hes been amazing in the playoffs as it relates to stats and eye test and just sheer intangibles.
i cant even believe youre arguing this as a bucks fan. do you watch much?
