Giannis isn't the offensive player that Shaq was, and Dame isn't the offensive or defensive player Kobe was . Curb your hyperbole
Fire malika racist andrews
Got to love Jimmy
Perkins is a racist idiot
Perk has literally no basketball IQ. His analysis is always just hot takes for clicks its straight up embarrasing at this point.
Heat in 5
The Greek Freek and Logo Lillard gon go yay yay.
They were trying get Giannis in Portland but the No3 wasnt enough and Portland wasn't willing to part with Sharpe. Per sources.
Drue should've gone to Pheonix
Perk is delusional. No even one game played together and they are already Kobe and Shaq
Stop it ..kobe was never in his prime when he played with shaq..had flash at times but never..thats why shaq won 3 finals mvp and league mvp kobe never won those awards during that time and because of that is the only reason kobe and shaq cant be top 3 best duo of all time because it was shaq then rest..at times was eddie Jones..fisher..horry…fox ect
Someone get Perk off espn asap !! This man has the wildest takes I remember him saying this bout embiid & harden too 🤦🏻♂️
That's way too much praise dude. Kobe and Shaq literally 3-peated, they're the last duo to 3 peat. Putting Giannis and Dame in those big shoes to fill when they haven't played a single game together is too much
Pat Riley you had 1 job 🤨
If jrue go to the heat things will get very interesting
Dame: My first pick is Giannis
L take
Kendrick Perkins – Overweight, overpaid
I wanna see their big three put up 30 each in a game… has it ever been done?
Draxler is the best 2 finals vs jordan and bad boys lose to legendary teams lillard never make finals
Stop it
Giannis has a basic jumper, 3 pt shot, fade away, and can shoot free throws – although not efficient Giannis did use all these skills to beat the Suns in G6. These are things Shaq could never do.
They said the same thing about Harden and Embid 😂
lol!!
Didn't he say the same nonsense about Embiid & Harden? There will NEVER be another Shaq/Kobe duo because there will never be another Shaq or Kobe.
We have the first Giannis & Dame Lillard and I'm looking forward to seeing them play together.
Kobe not really. But you can count at least on dame when making perimeter shots.
In offense they will be great but in defense I don't think they can handle what Holiday can do imo. No disrespect to Dame.
shaq and kobe played diffrent position, giannis needs the ball in his hands to drive inside, i can see dame will be doing catch and shoot if they double or triple giannis
Giannis and Dame are both all-time greats.. but please don’t disrespect Kobe and Shaq like that. People only look at Kob’s offense but he also has 9 nba all-defensive first teams.. 3 all-defensive second team.. he was a two way player, a copy of Michael jordan. And shaq was the most unstoppable player in his prime..
Shaq & Kobe? Stop the hyperbole. Kendrick said the same thing when Harden joined Embiid
They need to lay off all the former players who just dic$ ride other players when giving analysis. Just like a lot of the weirdo fan boys throughout the media. They should all be laid off and rehire real sports journalist who give non weirdo fan boy opinions. Nobody will ever be Shaq and Kobe. Especially in the era of weirdo social media kids
More like Doncic Earving
They're not Shaq or Kobe, they're Giannis and Dame. I haven't been excited for a basketball season to start in a long while. Now I am.
Butler don't understand he wanted to be in Milwaukee always did with Gianni's Jimmy big hating
As good as Jimmy Butler is Jimmy Butler big hating smh
They said the same thing about Embiid and James Harden how did that turn out 😂 🤣😅
Except the Celtic's will beat the Buck's in the Eastern Conference finals. Jayson Tatum goes to another level as well.
This is clown shoes
Honestly, as good as Dame is, you just can’t compare him to Kobe. Dude was a complete player on both sides of the court. Dame, not so much. But Dame is a good tier scorer. He has the Kobe gene. It’s just hard to compare someone to Kobe when Kobe is generally the only accepted comparison to the GOAT.
Offensively the bucks got considerably better but their achilles from last season (wing defence) got soooo much worse
Perk is sooo
Jokic + Murray is already the reincarnation of shaq and Kobe 🤷🏾♂️
Shaq and Kobe dominated and won a 3-peat, maybe more if they didn't split up. This tandem may not even make it past the 2nd round with how Miami manhandled them in the playoffs. Perkins clowning again, why is the Ogre still employed by ESPN?
