Throughout all this chaos, I think something that might have flown under the radar is Giannis’ defensive efforts this season. I swear, this guy, in like 15 games, already has a better highlight real of blocks than some players have in their whole careers.
There’s a lot more that aren’t shown here, but those are mostly regular defensive possessions. I think something underrated about having Dame (and Khris now) in the clutch is that that allows Giannis to focus most of his energy in the defense, which he’s taking full advantage with already having like 5 blocks in the clutch, which is tied most in the NBA.
He’d also have two game-winning blocks if Caruso didn’t hit that insane shot in Chicago.

If Giannis gets disrespected and left off an All-Defensive team I will be pissed.
Obviously the team hasn’t played well defensively but he is BY FAR the clutchest defensive player in the league. Multiple game winning defensive plays already this year.

I’ve noticed if he makes a mistake on offense he’ll try extra hard to chase it down.

Unreal, over 2 min compilation of just this season so far. By the end of his career he could have the best block compilation in NBA history imo

he’s like a shark smelling blood on those fast breaks, especially if he’s the one who turned it over. chilling to watch
