This is the best his jumper has ever looked.



Giannis grew 3-4 inches since then and put on 50lbs.

Not to mention difference in hand size.

Ya, I agree those 4th quarter fts and shots are more difficult when he's fatigued. He uses so much power, effort, strength, stamina to get to the basket.

And we don't even count the trips we went down and came up empty with him lying on the ground getting no call then getting back up and run back on defense then a couple more trips to the line.

There's so much exhaustion, and it definitely has an impact. I can just think about myself and once fatigue sets in, everything becomes harder even a routine movement is more challenging.

I would argue that this game was very close to peak Giannis.

This is what he looks like when it all clicks.

Currently PER and WS/48 would be highest all time if maintained.

I want to see Giannis on an episode of Hot Ones on YouTube. Already been some NBA players on (Embiid, jimmy buckets, Blake Griffin) and I think it would be an awesome interview and hilarious to see giannis trying to eat 1 million scoville Heat unit wings.

It's getting to the point where if Giannis doesn't post at least a 30 /10/5 people are mildly disappointed.
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

The biggest diva in the NBA. It's not just the Bucks...

i just saw a some highlights of kostas against the warriors where he had like six blocks in 15 min and i started wondering how him being on the lakers effects Giannis. Are they getting to know giannis through kostas since giannis won't hang, and what if Kostas wins a championship before giannis? how or if this effects Giannis psyche and him resigning

Kostas is operating as a double agent convincing AD to sign for the Bucks

We are at the point where Giannis is comparatively better than Aaron Rodgers ever was, right?

I don’t really follow the NFL outside of the Packers. Was Rodgers ever this much better statistically than whomever was second best?

You have to play a certain amount of games to get the ring. Even if the Lakers get the chip Kostas won't get a ring.

On one hand I'm extremely excited about the way Giannis is playing this year. On the other hand it's pretty disheartening, looking at those charts, that we can't get a clear second fiddle two-way player out of this roster.

I'm hoping the right opportunity presents itself over the next two seasons that we are able to consolidate some of these assets for that player.

Over a similar number of games, I'm sure he was. NBA season isn't even 10% in the books. Let's see where things stand in January or February.

It's not a easy comparison for a variety of reasons, but there are people who argue that Aaron Rodgers, at his absolute peak, was the most complete QB in NFL history.

Giannis isn't on that level. Yet.

No you don't. It's entirely up to the team.
