Giannis isn’t close to 2010 Lebron.

I don’t think the past era would be kind to Giannis’ game. He’s very fortunate to play in an era where he can play with 4 shooters which opens up the paint for him to drive to the rim. back in 2010 he would struggle in that regard and would probably have to play more like a traditional big.


Whys that?? If i remember correctly Lebron had a terrible series against Boston not sure hes that much better

Edit : Nvm noticed the date

It’s pretty difficult to measure the “best” player in basketball. There’s like 5 guys who many gms would take as their first overall pick in a full NBA redraft. It all depends on what kind of team you’re building around that superstar.
