Giannis isn't a center. He's supposed to be a skilled position player, yet his game is predicated purely on physical advantage and not skill advantage.

Meanwhile - down Portis and Middleton they might still steal this game. Chicago is a delusional fan base lol.

I mean, this is very wrong. He's statistically the most dominant player in the paint since Shaq.

As average as a 6'2 Michael Jordan. Not really a meaningful thought experiment.

No. A 6'2" MJ would still be very very good. Giannis would be mediocre.

Even if we want to pretend that's true (spoiler: it's not), I'm not exactly sure what your point is.
