The Giannis Antetokounmpo Problem…

The Giannis Antetokounmpo Problem…

Player in the game right now if I had the pick I think I might say Yannis Giannis taking flights and taking no prisoners how he impacts both sides scoring rebounding how hard he plays and like we all have off nights but I feel like when he has a off night is still 25

And 15 instead of 40 and 20 and he’s won he’s won a championship these two since they’re fine in the west you have to go through Giannis in the East so you know good luck Yannis too for sure the stats you’re seeing on the screen right now

Are the runaway front runner MVP nicoa yic and now you’re seeing Giannis Anto Tuma who for some people isn’t even in their top three Giannis this season is 4- one versus Luca donic Nicole yogic and Shay Guild Alexander and in those games he’s averaging almost 37 points 14

Rebounds six assists and two steals coming off a crushing Victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder the one seed in the Western Conference Giannis dropped 30 points and 19 rebounds on just five missed shots this season Giannis has the most 30o games on 60% fueld goal percentage this entire season

Needless to say the NBA has a Yannis on TMO problem and it’s one in which he’s underrated we got a ton to get into in today’s video guys if you’re new here please be sure to consider hitting that subscribe Button as we are on the road to 3,000 subscribers and we are

Uploading every single day for the month of March March at the end of this video we’re going to be talking a little bit about content going forward and how the editing on these videos should be improving without further Ado let’s just jump straight into this the first thing

I’d like to mention is this will be giannis’s thirdd season in a row playing 65 games a night while averaging at least 30 points 11 rebounds and five assists this season he’s averaging a career high 6 and a half assists a night just showing once again that he

Continues night in and night out to improve his game this will also be his third season in a row in in which the Milwaukee Bucks win 50 plus games so giannis’s stats have been good his health has been even better and the um win rate at which his team wins aside

From last season and the postseason it’s been very very great and when we compare giannis’s best season to jokic’s best season we’re just going to continue to use joic as the focal point of this conversation I think yic is the best player in the NBA but I think that the

Gap between yic and Giannis is much smaller than people like to admit uh myself included I think when it comes to ranking players Giannis is a very comfortable second for me now the MVP award and the best player award are two completely different things a they’re

Very narrative driven B you have to stay consistent with the media and giving them exactly what they want to hear this might include sound bites like when Derrick Rose said he was why can’t I win the MVP of the league or like last season when he we saw Joelle kind of you

Know taking shots at yic the entire season saying that he believes that he deserves the MVP and then C you have to have the stats to prove it now Giannis does have the stats Giannis has the wins Giannis has the situation but what Giannis also unfortunately yields is

Like all of the other greats LeBron’s been through this yic has been through this Kobe Bryant all these great guys voters fatigue is so so so so so relevant in this case and you may be wondering why I threw the name Kobe Bryant out there Kobe Bryant’s only won

One MVP in his 20-year NBA career it should have been a lot more but due to those you know wanting to distribute the award amongst the league and you know other narratives look better and and the New Kids on the Block want an MVP that’s kind of the thing that’s happening with

Giannis but as I said if we were to rank the top five NBA players in the league Giannis is top three and there’s nothing you can say or do to convince me otherwise I mean you could have him at one you could have him at three I won’t

Really fight you too and nail on it but he should be more towards the one or two rank in your book if we compare yic these two time reigning should be three-time reigning MVP the last three years to Giannis and we compare their best seasons so not best season in total

But their best individual Seasons at their individual statistics I put it up on the screen for you guys right now Giannis leads in every single statistic category other than assist and Giannis is not the primary ball handler most nights in the Milwaukee Buck scheme which brings me to my next point of why

Do I think jic gets more love and more attention and more press it’s very very clear that the coaching difference between Mike buen hoser or Adrien Griffin or anyone that the Bucks have had recently compared to Mike Malone is just very night and day it’s very clear

That the nuggets and Mike Malone say look this is our guy he’s a hell of a passer um we can set him up on the Block and everyone can be comfortable moving around them whereas with Giannis it seems his of scoring his beautiful transition work his tenacious defense all of this kind

Of allows for Giannis to say look I’m going to get mine no matter what you guys need to get yours and I will help you get yours by drawing attention uh it just seems like to me we don’t frequently see this season we’ve seen him more than ever but in seasons in the

Past we never really see Giannis get a bounce pass on the Block and then he’s backing someone down back to the basket and he but he hasn’t put the ball on the ground yet he’s just kind of giving him his body weight and then he makes an

Incredible pass like we see yic do it seems like the Bucks front office they they haven’t really quite felt comfortable exploring that option um now again that doesn’t mean Giannis isn’t going to get his 30 or his 20 but frequently when we see Giannis getting his points uh we’re not seeing the

Offense ran through him for any other reason other than he’s a great basketball player it seems like they maybe lack uh faith in his intelligence and I’m not saying they believe that Giannis is a stupid quote unquote basketball player a bad basketball player but it seems like they lack faith

In his ability to say look I’m going to give you the ball and you need to make something happen it seems they’re more interested in saying Giannis you’re at the top of the key here’s the ball makees something happen bulldo uh you know dive nose first at The Rim let’s

See a spin move a Euro Step like someone like Pascal zakum now Giannis obviously has grown as a passer but that’s that’s just not the main thing whereas yic is looking to pass like people game plan to stop yic from passing not scoring whereas Giannis it’s like they figure if

We can stop him from scoring we stop them completely that’s why the Raptors built that big wall years ago and they may you know say that he doesn’t have the greatest three-point shot they may say that you know he doesn’t have uh the greatest ability to pass the ball but I

Think the only way for him to grow and get better at that is by in the regular season exploring those options I believe for what Giannis lacks though in his ability to funnel an offense like a sabonis like uh Tyrese Halburn like a Nicole I believe for what he lacks in

That he more than makes up for in his hustle and transition and his defensive presence Giannis from a defensive standpoint should be in the running for defensive player every single season yet where is he nowhere to be found and again that’s not a lack of Giannis uh

Performing it’s just a lack of people caring or knowing it’s like hnis said it best a long time ago uh when asked he said you know it’s it’s easy to for my game to be boring for people because I do the same thing every night I get 30

And 10 every single night um but it’s it’s it’s just insane to me that people actually are bored of that when Giannis is the most or one of the most talented player in the NBA in conclusion I believe that Giannis is extremely underrated and I just wanted to give

This video uh to Giannis and just make it about Giannis because I I believe that he deserves some flowers um it’s crazy how one postseason can change everything when he won the championship he was without a doubt the greatest player in the NBA and no one had

Anything you know to say about it but then he loses in the first round against Miami Heat in a series where his team wasn’t fully healthy um and Giannis missed a game and a half uh and and yes that’s no you know big excuse but it’s worth mentioning um it’s funny you know

When you squint and look at the details of everything uh it’s very you know noticeable if you will that things you know if if Chris is healthy if Giannis doesn’t get hurt with that back injury it’s very you know you can look at that and say wow you know the Bucks it’s it’s

Really not giannis’s fault but then the bigger picture is like oh HHA ratio you lost in five games I don’t know people just they like to talk about events but not what led up to the event occurring what do you guys think is Giannis overrated or underrated uh going forward

With the edits guys I’m going to try to make them more intriguing from start to finish it’s been a very hectic month for me and I have the next couple days off so hopefully I will be able to do that also if you made it this far just wanted

To give some love to men’s mental health again it’s been a while since I’ve talked on that uh if you guys ever need to talk to someone my DMs on Twitter are always open or you can reach out in the comments and we can talk there if you’re
