    Rachel Nichols just praised Yawnis' leadership on The Jump and used this vid as an example.

    Awesome, though prince Luc is the 3rd guy :) kind of like Horry, OT and Herrera holding down the forward position back in the day.

    You're being silly if after watching these first two games you think Giannis is the reason they are losing. If that's the conclusion you've come away with after watching the first two games of this series I really don't know what to tell you.

    Yes, you can win championships with your best player shooting poorly from the line. Ever heard of Shaquille O'neal?

    First of all, coach's don't usually choose whose on their teams second of all the people that actually do disagree.

    I get it guys, Giannis won an MVP over Harden so it's cool to be salty about it but acting like he's not an elite top tier All NBA first teamer is silly.

    I'm not the poster you quoted, but Giannis uses his length and size as well as any 6'11'' / 7'0'' player does. Even though they lost game 2, Giannis was clearly the most dominant player on the floor.

    Is he flashy or creative in his ballhandling like a point guard? No. But Giannis took 18 FTs last night as a result of many drives, which means one of three things: 1) you'd either rather send him to the FT line instead of letting him near the rim or 2) you're employing the 'hack' strat because Giannis sucks at FTs or 3) it's that hard to guard him without fouling him. It clearly wasn't the hack strat since most of the fouls came within the flow of the game.

    As much as Giannis gets crapped on for not being able to shoot, he did pretty well - even from outside the paint...considering the other 2 parts of their big 3 didn't show up.



    You hardly see Giannis / Kawhi on the opposing team's best player for all 48 simply because they're also counted on to do most of the work on offense, too. It's not that they'd be exposed or anything - they'd just be too tired. I don't think Giannis has any weaknesses on the defensive side of the ball. But that's just my opinion.

    ESPN deserves to be on the bench in the finals. Y'all trippin if you think the talking heads write 100% of their material and not producers trying to calculate material to drive clicks and views.

    I have proven you wrong over and over and over again. There is nothing else left to say about the original point.

    I checked out during the 3rd but did enjoy Giannis trying to put the team on his back. I, like most nba fans, love to hate on the guy for being a clumsy ball player but i respect him for not quitting after the injury and not hiding from the spotlight like in the nets series.

    Yea the Suns are playing a bunch of hurt teams, meanwhile the Rockets took the GOAT team to 7 games and should have own. The Warriors are vastly better than anyone in these playoffs.
