1. 29.7 ppg (Giannis)

3. 29.3 ppg (Luka)
4. 29.2 ppg (Embiid)

Being two of the best offensive players in recent history, how do yall think the responsibilities will be shared? Who defers to whom and who is overall better on the offensive end?

I don’t even know how you’re going to defend Dame & Giannis, ESPECIALLY when they’re put in pick and roll action
> Being two of the best offensive players in recent history
Giannis Antetokounmpo isn’t even a top five offensive player in the league today lol.
Bucks half-court offense is no longer a problem
Can we take a step back and unlink most PPG from correlating to best offensive players
This is a list of volume scorers where scoring INCLUDING efficiency is like only half of what makes up offensive value, so it’s only very partially reflective and the two best offensive players in the league aren’t on this list imo
Sorry, just a pet peeve of mine
Giannis and Dame were both top 5 in ppg last season. Going back to 2009-2010, there has been 3 times when two players in top 5 ppg were traded to the same team.
Kd and curry,
Love and bron,
Wade and bron
All of those teams produced championships
And that includes the 30 games in 2022 when Dame was playing through a torn ab muscle. If you remove that his average since 2020 is 30.2 PPG.
Bookmark me bitch but Anfernee Simons is gonna be a top 5 scorer in the NBA this year.
Dame is the better scorer and playmaker, Giannis is the bigger offensive force.
Neither will be deferring. They’ll be playing off each other and elevating each other’s games. PPG itself may not skyrocket but efficiency should. I can see both being their most efficient this season in their careers. Would even say it’s likely.
2 top 2 scorers and MVP winners or candidates, and 2 DPOY winners or candidates + an All star in Middleton lmao this team is nuts
Oh oh spaghettio
Giannis will take a step back from the offensive load to devote more to Def.
Giannis isn’t one of the best offensive players in recent history or even close to that. Great finisher but he isn’t talented enough to be a great player on a a great playoff offense. Dame is tho.
Giannis can defer to Dame & go crazy on defense
All this to lose to the Celtics
Depends on the matchup and the ebb and flow of the game. I don’t see how either of these guys need to sacrifice since their positions are so different. Khris will be the one that will have to sacrifice.
This will be like Shaq and Kobe to an extent.
This elevates Giannis game
He’s going to become a more willing full passer cause Dame is there. A playmaking Giannis creates problems to the NBA
I’m going to lose no nut November every bucks game that month
but but I thought Giannis was limited on offense
Points are points jackasses, particularly when their high efficiency points.
So they’re gonna score 60 out of 120 every night aye?
Good chance this is a 70 win team
Well, they won’t be scoring that much every night now. I can’t imagine having two 29 ppg players on the team for the whole year.
