Another classic JJ rant. This time on people poking holes in Giannis Antetokounmpo’s game. He also talks about this impressive Milwaukee Bucks win streak.

We love a good rant lol. Check out this week's live show if you haven't: https://youtu.be/ef379s2pPn4
JJ spot on as usual…
Travels, carries, offensive fouls, can't play if refs called game properly
Im a kiwi that follows rugby more than the NBA. But i just really enjoy listening to JJ Reddick. Keep it up man!
The difference with ginannis and other stars is he works on his "weaknesses " literally has gotten better every yr …. he could of been mvp the last 5 seasons. Yes its facts. Sorry. N now hes getting a respectful post fade away shot. Takes confident jumpers and he has improved his playmakin for others drastically. Whats scary is hes about 75% of what he could be… its his league sorryy
Giannis mid akumpo
I dont even understand the hate for this man especially by the media. The fans know it.
I just need everyone to keep the same energy they had for Giannis when it comes to Jokic. 3 mvps in a row with no finals appearances is just nasty
Middleton wasn't in there last year but the Bucks had a depth unit with Bobby leading it, last season Celtics did NOT have true depth with Payton not yet learning to keep guys in front of him, Grant just gaining some momentum and Derrick, oh Derrick was not looking comfortable in reading Ime's schemes. However, this year different story, for all the doubters whom got another team winning the championship over the CELTICs don't jump ship!!! #FACTs
I remember u placing him in a second tier Mr Redick
Brook has attributed some of this year's boost to just being healthy (not having recurring back soreness). Also, a lot of folks have been forgetting about the absence of Bucks 4th or 5th best player: Bobby. Nightly double double off the bench, and important for energy. Also helps Brook stay healthy and fresh. Hoping for that Bucks+Cs rematch this year yewwww
When a teamās top players are out (Khris, Jrue), their best guy may be āless efficient.ā Heās been shooting 56% for 5 straight years. Giannis is #1 all-around player in the league.
Thanks for teaching us a bit of basketball every time you analyse something. Hope it doesn't take long to realize that's the way to be .. I do believe though that it takes more than a successful career to convey a message successfully ,so I'm not too optimistic about a new era in sports journalism . Greetings from Greece keep up the good work.
Wild how many stars are ducking Giannis.
the great Traveler
Gianna is what Ben Simmons should have been
If he leads the league in rebounds and scoring. MVP is a lock. He also played injured for a bit when he slowed down
They beat teams that are load managing thatās not his fault. Stars are ducking the bucks
Giannis and the Bucks are like the Kansas City Chiefs in football. Giannis & Mahomes are not truly appreciated until they win the championship, and then people acknowledge it again. They're great players on great teams.
I'm a Celtics fan and am perfectly fine admitting that Giannis is the most dominant player in the sport today. When he is on, he is just on a different level from basically anyone else.
Thank you for showing bucks love
Lebron doesnāt have any flaws, can shoot pass handle defense size athleticism. Lebron just couldnāt dominate like Gianniās does inside. Gianniās has flaws but is so dominant going to the basket it makes almost unstoppable
