All Giannis does is travel, charge to the hole and can’t play in half court set. How is he in top 5 NBA players talks?

Despite the refs not only giving him a pass with his travels, but also all the charging fouls he gets away with, 3 years later Giannis is as limited as he's ever been in the half-court offense. I know it's the NBA and traveling is not officiated strictly, but Giannis is the only "superstar" that is so blatant with these non-calls

In fairness Giannis leads the league in travel and offensive foul calls every year by a lot. They miss travels on everyon, Giannis pushes the boundaries of footwork more than most players. He does have a lot of advanced gather and pivot moves though, and he plays through contact really well. He really needs to get better in the post, even more than he needs to improve his foul shooting, he’s pretty close to bottom of the league there

This thread is embarrassing

The level of hate and dislike for him is unreal, but realgm… keep being realgm… you have never changed.

So embarrassing. Gianis hardly has bball skills. No wonder he gets exposed in fiba when refs actually follow the rules

[Infinite Llamas]

Wow.

There was no f*cks given. Giannis, the walking most efficient player to win back to back Defensive Player of the Year, and 2 time league MVP is NOW not even Top 5 today?

What do you want Giannis to do?
- Shave his side burns?
- Have a spelling contest on his last name?
- Admit that he watches Dr. Stone anime while hating on Naruto and Boruto?
- He shouldn't be lifting, brah?
- That he still hasn't watched Tenet yet because Nolan has thin character development and too much focus on his gimmick?

Like, what?

I bet the posters who are hating are purposely doing this on RealGM to drive down his trade value to get Giannis on their real favorite team.

Maybe people want him to develop skills outside of barreling into opponents and cut down on the travels and offensive fouls in the process? Or maybe they want him to demand the ball in crunch time as the best player and put his team on his back like any other MVP would? You can’t be the best player and then vanish when the lights aren’t the brightest. Beating up on the Knicks and Bulls in the RS is nice for accolades but the real masters show up in the postseason.

I haven’t seen Tenet but I thought Dunkirk was a money-grab, bore-a-thon so I have my reservations on this one.

Tenet is bad, the sound mixing is such trash you miss 80% of the dialogue and the action is atrocious as much Nolan movies are.
It's an attractive movie but not a very good one.

also Giannis is the least skilled MVP in modern NBA history.

Wow I forgot about this thread. I saw Tenet a couple years ago and woof. What a convoluted mess of a film that really didn’t have to be made.

Most of his haters come from particularly jealous axe grinding low IQ fans of a few teams with notorious fanbases or professional hot take givers in national media.

Giannis pretty much missed the 1st 3 games with a nasty back injury. Played more cautious when he returned playing through his injury, wasn’t as aggressive attacking the rim. Giannis is an absolute beast at both ends of the floor. The coaching and team play was simply very poor. He has no playmaker and has to practically create everything by himself. It’s sad when Giannis is the best playmaker on the team (found the open man consistently, usually Lopez). Already proved that he’s a playoff monster with his Championship & FVMP, was incredible in the finals, scored right through the Suns double team every time. He has no super team built around him, he has no top 10 star he can lean on. He literally has to get past 3-4 defenders every play because they sag off his team mates. Giannis & Jokic are the top 2 players in the league period.

[giannis and 1]

I wish Giannis could be a playoff performer and do something crazy like score 50 points in a championship clinching game.

[srhcan]

Remember what Harden said indirectly about Giannis's game? If somebody has the video please share. Harden figured him out long before others.

[clyde21]

absolutely hilarious how the detractors always come out after a bad game or series for a player - yall been quiet for 3 years and wait for 1 playoff series to bring this thread back?

peak beta behavior.

[Drakeem]

He's already proven he can be the best player on a championship team. Stuff like this is just stupid.

Harden figured what out? That Giannis is really athletic?

[MavsDirk41]

This is a bad troll thread. Giannis has been the best player in the league the past 3 or 4 years. He cant play offense in a half court set? If he retired today he is top 20 alltime.

The only reason he’s “inept” in the half-court is because he fails to hit his FTs and his teammates aren’t knocking down wide open threes. If he was an 85% FT shooter teams would stop blatantly hacking him resulting in him scoring more at the rim. Which would force teams to collapse even more which would leave shooters wide open.

Conversely, if his teammates hit their wide open shots, the lane would unclog and Giannis would have easier paths to the basket. Giannis can’t control his teammates so the onus is on him to improve at the easiest shot in basketball, the FT. This has been the case for several years and he simply has failed to put in the same amount of work on his game that he does on his body. It’s a real shame because he could have been in the GOAT conversation one day

What I don't get is that he actually had decent shooting form when he got in the league, not it's one of the worst in the league

This is a completely fair analysis of him actually. How can you be dominated by Siakam, but be called top 5 . It's wild

Strike: Trolling
Ban issued.

[Rubios]

So if he's only a RS player because he has one trick, and he is so easy to figure out in the playoffs...

What happened in 2021? 35/13/5 on 66% TS in the Finals, that happened.
And last season series vs Indiana? 33/15/7 on 65%

If Giannis is not a top 5, then name your top 5.

This thread was from 2020 by the way, and of course it's not the most serious analysis either way

I have no issues with people calling him out. He is a great player and no one should have issues with him being a top 5 player in 2021, 2023 or in 2025.

I do appreciate you finding my post here( which you bumped for whatever stupid reason) since there is already a thread about him and traveling and replying to it unlike the Jokic thread. You saved face since that thread died with your horrible posts. Who the hell replies to themselves lol.
