You came in like "YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I'VE WATCHED"

and fizzled out with

"OH SINCE YOU WATCHED MORE THAN ME THEN YOU WATCH TOO MUCH"

Everyone is biased in some way, but you are the only one pulling things out of your ass. Thanks for proving my point with these statements.


Don't know how you got that 2nd part but whatever floats you boat. Try not to be so sensitive next time about players representing your own country. People have objective opinions, learn to respect them instead of taking it as a negative slight kiddo.


Quit trying to weasel out of your non-existent argument, I've discussed this with several people who disagree in this very thread. No one seems to have a problem sharing what they think except the one guy yelling "bias" thinking he's not biased.

What the heck? You can apply that logic to any clutch play ever made by a superstar. If they get the ball knocked out, then it's bad. That's not the deciding factor in whether a star should take over or not. Of course there's risk.

Not only did he do it, but he faked Giannis out once, got to the paint, and then returned back outside the 3PT line to beat Giannis twice in the same play. Couldn't have possibly proven more that it was the right play. As Bucks fans and Sengun know, Giannis is way overconfident in his ability to stay in front of his man on the perimeter. Sengun simply dwarfed him with his bball IQ.


Eh, not a typical play that Sengun makes on a nightly basis. It was a good play, but that's not typical of Sengun to go spin off of a guy on the 3pt line with the ball and drive to the hoop. Giannis being overzealous might have been what made that play what it is more than anything else.

I watch Sengun nightly, there are many other things that he does that are more him that impress me than this move.

Well he's the one guy in the NBA who isn't there because of his fundamentals ....


Name some better players at 7+ feet with better body control and "fundamentals" when driving to the rim in the history of the sport.

It is literally just Giannis.


Having big muscles, giant steps and being allowed to carry the ball like Jerome Bettis isn't fundamentals




His poor on-ball defense is more lack of discipline than poor fundamentals.

To say Giannis just doesn't have fundamentals is going too far. He's clearly understands the fundamentals of team defense, playmaking, finishing at the rim, body position, etc.

He's a FMVP and perennial 1st team All NBA. You don't do that by just being big and fast. Jalen Duren this season is the perfect example of how being physically gifted is enough. He had to add a few things.

Always love these nonsense critiques about Giannis' "fundamentals" and "hE GoT No bAg". But the white Euro guy that also can't shoot and gets to the line by egregious flopping and abusing the carry rules just like everybody else? Oh, he's "super skilled"....

Yes, it kinda is? He's been bringing the ball up all year, did it to Mobley to ice the game last night. He's the best ball handling 6'11+ guy in the league, it just is aesthetically a little goofy so people don't realize it. He is handling the ball a absolute ton for this team and almost never gets his handle picked

Exactly there isn't an argument to be had as I said previously and yet you keep chasing one. I have no problems with your opinion but it seems you have one with mine. The irony.
