After trading for one of the best guards in the NBA in Damian Lillard, the Bucks undoubtedly have the league’s best duo in Giannis Antetokounmpo and Dame, and expect to play for an NBA Championship this season.

  1. If you're going to talk about what the Bucks faced to win a title in 2021, then you have to talk about what the Nuggets faced.

    – The lowest IQ team in the league
    – A Team with no depth whatsoever because they traded for KD
    – An OLD team, with only half a season of chemistry & some depth issues because of bad trades last season
    – An 8 seed that didn't have the talent to compete & realistically shouldn't have been there

    Oh & to top that all off, they were healthy the entire playoffs, & had the biggest advantage in all of sports on their side… Home Court + Altitude.

    The Bucks title has more legitimacy than the Nuggets does, if we're going to play that game.

  2. Bro Grayson Allen was garbage, and Holiday was the 3rd best point guard on the floor in the Heat series last year neither of those guys are losses.

  3. Can't wait to see these teams on the floor. I havent been this excited for the regular season in a long time.

  4. Giannis is the best physically in the NBA.. but his ability to shoot or outsmart other teams is lacking. He’ll never be “by far” the best player in the league. He’s not that guy

  5. Are u forgetting Gianni’s hyper extended his knee terribly against the hawks , the bucks won that series w out him and he was playing injured all finals and put up 50!

  6. The suns team they beat in the finals was quite litterally one of the greatest half court offenses in nba history that year and many thought they couldnt compete with them but now you wanna downplay the suns lmao , what a clown

  7. What’s not talked about is Terry Stotts is on the Bucks. That’s familiarity and if they run any like they did in Portland that’s easier for Dame to fit in. Cam Payne is an ok backup too he can score a tiny bit

  8. thx for this nice video, really good!
    Question? not related to NBA, what the posters you are having on your wall?
    top left and top right? 🙂

  9. It will be the most glorious journey to 1st round exit ever by the Bucks! Ok, I'm unfair. It may be 2nd round exit

  10. dame needs to know hes the best offensive player on the team and doesn't need to sacrifice

  11. Giannis should never have been in a position to do everything, but alas- I'm glad that Dame is here to give us legit half-court offense and multiple plays we can throw come the playoffs & clutch time. We take a drop defensively (while still being good enough imo) but what we gain on offense has been needed for years now. I'm very excited for the regular season ahead. Hope this team can avoid serious injuries.

  12. It’s sooo great that kinda seems celtics built for bucks, buck built for nuggets, nuggets built for Celtics. Let’s go

  13. so they won the nets series in 21' cause of injuries (kyrie missed 2.5 games,harden 2.5 games) but last year that giannis missed 2.5 games they lost cause of bad halfcourt offence, ok great ''analysis''

  14. Look..the key issue is that team can no longer play with a Yiannis wall defence..where they put 3 players on Giannis…last season Giannis had a back injury in Game 1 against Miami ..note that please.

  15. 2 years ago Loss against celtics was it Giannis fault..dude practically carried whole team on his back..now he needs help..Damian Liliard is ..The help…Simple.

  16. Can steph curry win the NBA without either Dramon Green or Klay Thompson? Gianniss needed Drew and Kris firing in all cylinders to win a title..unfortunately Kris has been injured

  17. Not sure how much work goes into it but I think it would really ad some dimension if we had some x's and o;s throught the narration especially when talking about breaking down defenses and rotations. I know it would be very helpful to my experience as a consumer to actually know what these positions look like.

  18. JASON that first bit was hard to get through. 7 straight minutes of you RAGGING ON GIANNIS for us to finally get you to speak the actual reality: Giannis is only as good as those around him, just like EVERY OTHER NBA PLAYER. Place a bunch of bricks and he has a lot of weight to carry. It's a lot easier for a guy like, say jokic, to score when he is ALWAYS OPEN and ALWAYS ASSISTED, never exerting, rarely running, as a result of his team system.
    It's going to be incredibly eye opening one way or another to see what Giannis can do with an actual balanced team that compensates for his one weakness (shooting). I can almost guarantee you that we will see a midrange out of Giannis. His window isn't closed. Dude is never ever open. UNTIL NOW 🤩
    He'd going to have a lot more opportunities to take an open midrange.

  19. The problem with the last 2 years we're that Giannis is horrible from the line. If he shot 75% from the line, they would have beat Miami last year.
