In your defense, it literally took a legendary performance from him to win this game. He did something only 3 other people had done in the history of the game.
That sounds like an interesting trivia stat. What is it and who were the other 3?

Giannis dominates when it doesn’t matter…. during the regular season and early in playoff games, but disappears down the stretch when it matters.

He just sucks. What are his skills offensively? Can’t shoot at all, can’t hit a FT to save his life.
I can get on board with him being overrated, but what a incredibly stupid take. I believe Budenholzer overall doesn’t do much to put any Bucks player in a place to be successful. I don’t believe that Holiday just suddenly disappears on his own now as well. That team badly needs a fresh coaching philosophy.

You can’t deny anything I posted about his game I see?
He’s a 2 time NBA MVP, a 5 time first team all NBA, a defensive player of the year, a 3 time first team all NBA defensive player, averaging 26.9, 27.7, 29.5 and 28.1 ppg in the past four season.

Your take that he sucks was dumb as ****.

Averaged 28, 11, and 6 this year. Yeah he sucks....

Put up 34 tonight, 64% shooting, 2-4 from 3. What are his skills, offensively?

Hot take is hot. Come off it.

He’s definitely a Batman but he needs a better Robin. Chris Paul would have been amazing for him. Needs a vet with playoff experience that is able to have the ball and take the big shots down the stretch. Definitely does not suck. Milwaukee was a sad sad franchise for a long time before the Greek Freak turned up.

Giannis doesn’t have skill. He’s 7 feet 245 pounds and moves like a ******* point guard. Most people aren’t stopping him from getting to the rim based on that alone. KD, Harden, and Kyrie have 5x the offensive skill that Giannis does.

If Bud was any kind of a coach, he would have had his team taking advantages of the mismatches they had. WTF, call a TO and tell Giannis to stop with the little turnarounds in the lane and just take the damn ball to the hoop. Yeah, his FT% is terrible.....but Giannis does know how to pass, too. Bud looked like the proverbial deer in the headlights in the 4th quarter.

Lot of people wrote the Bucks off after the first 2 games. This is one they should have had, no question - but I think they still have a shot.

I’ve said that he racks up stats when nothing matters…. it takes talent to do that, but he disappears when it’s clutch time and he’s needed the most.

Look…. I love the guy, but he’s just no alpha dog. He’s at a level below the Durant’s and Curry’s of the game.

Being 7 foot and able to move like a point guard is a pretty good skill if you ask me.

There’s probably 2 people with that skill in the world.
