Giannis is easily and obviously the best player in the league he’s the only one in the top 3 that plays defense. It’s like defense is an afterthought now and no one cares about it. Yet people complain when there’s no defense. Not talking about Kenny but people in general are such hypocrites
Can we have a talk abt the Miami Heat pls 😞😭🙏
Giannis is the most dominant player in the league
The Disrespect is stupid
Hey Kenny. I’m a big bucks fan and recently there were rumors about John Wall working out for the bucks. Do you think he’d be a good fit for the team?
Let's see who's gonna be the 5th starter after Dame, Giannis, Middleton and Lopez, and who are gonna be the important players from the bench besides Portis.
We always down for Kenny rambling about basketball during the offseason
At this point its 4 guys at the top, then sga, curry, tatum etc
Thanks a you. I blame the media for most of this. But ppl just got tired of him after 2 mvps. Told him to win a chip he did. But then gets onto jokic who during that time wasn't doing no playoff winning either n got the benefit of the doubt
Giannis game 7 v celtics had 25 on 38% shooting 10-26. He came up short and was ringing that bell he got cause he got blown off the court by 20 after being up 3-2 in the series. sounds like embiid
They ain't winning jack s with the roster they have now. Getting a past his prime Lillard was one of the worst trades in NBA history. Lillard didn't win 💩 when IN his prime. How they thought an old, no defense gunner was going to help…..IDK.
May as well trade Giannis to OKC now for a haul and start the rebuild.
Does DPOY mean nothing now? WHILE being a SCORING MACHINE 30 ppg 60% shooting?
Giannis hasn’t shown up for 4 of the past 5 years oof
Ayyy bruh what you wearing 👀
Jokic
Giannis
SGA
Luka
Embiid maybe, he looking trash in olympics
I think he is rated fair, he has had injuries
As a Bucks fan, I agree. I feel health is key. Dame getting back to veing Dame and the upgrade will help, a lot . In the end, Giannis will need Dame to help lead.
Man if Giannis was healthy these last two playoff runs he’d be considered the best player in the world
to giannis not under rated the league just got same for jokic I don't see him getting in the next 2 yrs
If bucks r 1st seed whole season and giannis plays amazing and very consistent on both ends of the floor i think he easily wins mvp again
34 15 and 7 is insane.
He not underrated. He just dont got no bag. So its not much to talk about.
I'm a Giannis fan and I've realized that people haven't really been talking about him despite being AT LEAST one of the 3 basketball players alive right now
He’s perfectly rated. We watched him blossom and add something new to his game every summer, for a few years. Well, he kinda stopped adding to his game. Like, it’s become obvious that that decent jumpshot we we were waiting for, isn’t coming. In that same time span, Joker and Embiid blossomed into two of the best players in the league – both much more versatile on offense than Giannis. So Giannis got put on the back burner. He’s not better than either of those guys right now. We’re in the 2020s: you have to shoot the ball to be at the top.
No
Had nothing to talk about so I get it but he’s not been playing so whats their to rate him for
Giannis has a little bit of skill and talent which makes him very athletic plus he always travels but somehow never gets called for it Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, Blake Griffin etc are similar type players tall, strong and athletic which means there's a place for them in the NBA but to say these players are 2nd and 3rd best in the league or of all time is just fuckin stupid
Giannis’s performance to close out that finals was probably the best playoff performance I’ve ever personally seen, having not been alive to watch basketball in the 90s or before.
It's criminal how sports media assassinated Giannis' reputation calling him "Unskilled." He is a highly skilled player who positively impacts both sides of the court. In my opinion you cannot be considered the best player in the league without impacting both sides.
Giannis.is overrated, never improved his shot, wins dpoy without being good at defense and can not do anything in crunch time so not sure what you're on about.
Regardless of if he's the best player or not, he's someone you wanna root for. That makes him special in my eyes
How could you think he's underrated with all the glazing and excuses he's gotten ever since 2021?
He's like Tim Duncan was at this moment. People know he's goof but they don't talk about him enough.
Only reason he's underrated is that Giannis had bad luck with Injuries just at start of playoffs for the last 2 seasons. The last healthy playoff he had was in 2022 vs Boston Celtics in which Giannis had 2 different games he scored 40pts and 20rbd. Last years regular season Giannis was first Player in NBA History to shooter over 60% FG% while averaging over 30PPG not even Wilt Chamberlain has ever done it.
If Giannis went to Lakers he would of won 2 more MVP trophies. He is getting black balled from MVP's since he stayed in Milwaukee. He is going to win another Chip and stick that 3rd MVP award up their Ass. Giannis starting 5 this year is elite with PG: Dame SG: Gary Trent Jr. SF: Khris Middleton PF: Giannis C: Brook Lopez. Coaching staff is elite with both Doc Rivers and Darvin Ham who was assistant coach when Bucks won chip in 2021.
Giannis starting 5 this year is elite with PG: Dame SG: Gary Trent Jr. SF: Khris Middleton PF: Giannis C: Brook Lopez. Coaching staff is elite with both Doc Rivers and Darvin Ham who was assistant coach when Bucks won chip in 2021. Khris Middleton is back and healthy Khris averaged 25/9/5 in playoffs this year. Bucks are going to win Chip in 2025 playoffs.
Khris MIddleton is back healthy and is once again a BEAST! In playoffs this year Khris averaged 25/9/5 on 49/38/83 shooting splits. Gary Trent Jr. is a legit starting SG huge upgrade over Beasley who can't play defense and Beas also can't hit 3's in the playoffs.
Curry still the best player in the world dont gaf
He can't shoot, that's a fact. 🤷
People don’t realize that they witness the 2nd best Powerforward ever
It’s because he doesn’t have the market. Just reminds me of Aaron Rodgers being in Green Bay. Oh he’s the best of all time. Goes to play for the Jets and the sports news cycle changed to 24/7 Jets/Rodgers mania
I just think the Bucks aren’t that good of a team anymore, need better complementary pieces for Giannis
LeBron had the title best player for maybe a decade try 2008-2020 easily a decade lmfao and could be argued he was the best in 2006 when he took the 2nd worst finals team ever to the finals sorry just had to put that out there. Now back to the video lmfao
Jokic has never been the best player in the league. It was Lebron from around 2010-2018 then Kawhi in 2019 and Giannis basically ever since then
The Bucks' lack of playoff success since their championship run and Giannis's recent injuries and underperformances in the postseason in that same span have dropped his stock. Not to mention that his game has not really improved since their title run, which has not been discussed enough: still no reliable jump shot, post game is still uncoordinated, still sucks at free throw shooting. Giannis is still at or near the top, but it's a case of "what have you done for me lately?" with him at this point.
I never buy shoes for a player, but had to get some Giannis.
We love a ramble
