A transition merchant who somehow led his team to a title.


Everything I said was true, plus Giannis had best team in the league. That long mid-range from KD was really a 3, so refs helped Giannis not get rid of in the 2nd round, but oh well.

I'd take Curry and Durant before Giannis in 2021, and there are arguments to be made for Luka, Jokic, and Embiid as well.

I seriously don't think Giannis has ever been top 2 in the league at any point in his career. He isn't top 35 offensively, and maybe not top 40. Better defensively than offensively, yet has been mid on defense ever since 2023.

He's also dropped in every single playoffs other than 2021, and we can't be blaming this on injuries unlike Embiid. Giannis is just horrible at basketball no matter what way you want to look at it.

We are seeing RealGM put Giannis as high as top 3 2001-25 peaks ever, showing that RealGM is clearly Giannis FC, and as shown in image, they bow down to Giannis. Glazers are wild.



I hereby declare realGM PC as Giannis FC :clap: :clap:

Jrue, Lopez and Middleton are 'the best support cast in the league'? I wouldn't rate them as a particularly strong support cast. I mean, it's a strong support cast since 2 of those guys are still all-star calibre, but for title teams it doesn't strike me as unusual. I mean, just in 2021 CP3 had a support cast of Booker, Bridges, Cam Johnson, Crowder, and Ayton. That strikes me as superior to what Giannis had.

Some of the other stuff you've said seems even more unobjective. There are some really off the wall comments in here, like how Giannis has never been a top 2 player. The guy has 2 MVPs, and 7 top four finishes in MVP voting, so your views are clearly outlier ones. I certainly think you could argue Curry, Jokic, KD, or Luka, over him... but 2 of those guys are already in, and I'll be voting for the others shortly. Embiid has done nothing in the playoffs and is always hurt, he seems like a weird choice to rate over Giannis.

You claim Giannis can't use the injury excuse, but he kind of can. Every playoffs since 21 he or his support cast have had crippling injuries.

I think Giannis has a strong argument to be a top 2 player in the league every single year from 2019 to 2022

It's not bait. Giannis is terrible, and realgm PC is Giannis FC.
