His defence ( which eventually led to a steal ) on Rose was great on the previous play.
He's currently second in efficient only behind Westbrook in the whole League. Jumper and 3P have been heavily improved, he even pulls the fade away shot consistently this year. Such a beast.1997 - 2012 - 2013

41/8/6 and a new career high against the Lakers. Such a joy to watch him ( not the Bucks anymore though )
Originally posted by Straight forward View PostTrue. Is it still racial outcome that European fans don't really get exited about him, don't hype, don't speak about him too much? Maybe partly because of the fact he hasn't yet dominated FIBA basketball as well. But again this guy is a lock to be one of the greats after Dirk, Pau and Parker stepping down, yet we talk about Porzingis, Jokic and Doncic more.1997 - 2012 - 2013

Anthony Davis is will still be just as good or better than all of them though (and only 23).

You guys think the Greek national team figures out how to properly use Giannis?
He was fairly uninspiring this past summer and it now seems it was less about Giannis and more about Greek coaching, their system, his teammates or maybe just FIBA style basketball. I didn't watch their games - what does anyone else think?

Originally posted by mojo13 View PostPlease throw Joel Embiid into the mix as well. He is showing as good early signs as the three above. Could realistically be the top 4 are international. But I doubt it as, there is always just too much volume of great american kids coming up - especially at the guard and wings spots.

Originally posted by Victorious View PostHe never played basketball at top level in Europe. This is the essential problem concerning Giannis. He will likely never be as good for the Greek NT as the NBA. But he can be the key player.
It's all about tailoring team play and taking advantage of his skills. I think that will come in the near future.Silver medal 2012 Olympics prediction game.

I found this thread rather enlightening to read through given Giannis burgeoning success in the NBA which has only be bolstered by his playoff success. Being in Milwaukee he was off a lot of people's radars, a fair point was raised that if he and Porzingas swapped teams we'd be getting 24/7 coverage of Giannis.
A potential 2nd round match-up with Lebron's Cavs could catapult him into super stardom in the States.Pistons: 2021-22 Let the Motorcade begin!!

As some say stat PER36 became meaningless because players rarely play that much, Giannis is averaging 38 minutes per game. That's No.1 PT in NBA, second surprisingly is a grandpa Lebron James.LTU NT will snatch Eurobasket 2029 title with this roster:
