Does Giannis Antetokounmpo Have GOAT Potential? | THE ODD COUPLE 

Fr I believe lbj is the goat. But I do believe giannis can have potential to be in the goat convo down the road. He's got damn near everything. Defense, finishing at the rim, his jumpshots r getting better. He got mvps final mvp dpoty a ring. N he's 27 I believe. Goat shii

I’ve wanted so bad to watch Giannis manhandle Draymond.

Bucks would have definitely repeated if Middleton played against the Celtics.

@@Amor1990 I really wanted to see that too. Giannis would average 40 ppg against the Warriors

@@Amor1990 tell me about . Draymond always ducks when playing the bucks

@@Amor1990 lol, ya that would been bad situation for Greene n finally shut his mouth

Keep that same energy for Lebron. The 08 Celtics get to ride that ring to the moon but Lebron wins 4 and all everyone talks about is the 6 losses

What about the context? Only player to have two 3peats, nobody else will ever win 3 straight leave for a couple years and come back to win another 3 in a row 🐐

He has a chance, his mid range is pretty good when it counts. It is true, that if he develops that shot just a little more, then he'll be unstoppable. He'll be able to be cheap lol! He'll shoot or dunk it either way. He still has chance to win 6. Not going to be easy but who knows....

Those are the expectations when you’re talking about being the GOAT.

@@moetoosmooth2741 Lebron fans act like people think he sucks, obviously 4 is amazing, he just isn’t as good as Jordan

NOPE

@@muhammedking3963 why

@@joelanilus516 lets not get ahead of ourselves Sir

Deadass 🐐 💯

He just needs to be a Jrue Holiday from 3 and mid-range and it's over. He is arguably the best defender in NBA

context, boston played nobody over 6'9 after giannis went up 3-2, gotta get that done "future goat"

@@kalix975 how thou? He could have gone for 50/20/8 the last 2 games and they would still have lost. I admit he could have played better, but there was no garentee they would have won the series.

@@kalix975 can't get that done when coach bud plays for the celtics

@@kalix975 did u not watch game 6? giannis dropped 44 20 and 6 while none of his teammates even dropped 20 while the celtics had a player who dropped 46 and still had 2 teammates that dropped 20+

@@moeballa5009 i watched obviously, he was doing his thing but i can't ignore tatum outplaying him and he did not even try and guard him in the 4th giannis also had 6 turnovers you skipped over, 3 in the 4th quarter did YOU watch

Facts

They gotta be more consistent though

They also getting up there , eventually they gotta get him a real star , just out of respect alone for him being this loyal , he could have easily left or requested a trade a couple years back , show him respect snd loyalty back soon

Man Middleton stinks. Get Gianni’s a real co star

Bucks can really own the east tho. Took Celtics "who is in the finals" 7 games without their 2nd best player

Lol he’s been in his prime since like 2020

@@kibabalefobaki9725 nah prime is 28

@@Riqq44 lol why you’re acting like what you’re saying is an objective truth lol. Where is it written that your peak is at 28? Lol. Giannis has been in his in prime since 2020 lol bye man

@@kibabalefobaki9725 look it up buddy and learn basketball before trying to talk about it

@@Riqq44 lol what you mean look it up lol. You act like it’s a universal law that nba players must peak at 28 lol. Players hit their primes at different ages lol.

You’re absolutely right, it’s maddening, it takes a career to gain GOAT status.

@@mbrownie22 don't worry, Jason Tatum and Ja will be next.

Analysts desparately want MJ knocked off the pedastal in the minds of fans. So they have to keep coming up with these GOAT conversations every few years.

@@x-man9473 that and everybody is so desperate to be the 'first' analyst to find that guy. They want everybody to know "see I was the first one to tell you 10 years ago so and so would be the best". Everybody in a race to be right instead of getting it right, so they just picking every good player that arrives in the NBA. They do it in football too. It's craziness

Giannis definitely has top 8 of all time potential tho

Giannis 23 won mvp lol

No unanimous votes Giannis did it 4 times

@@hatim289 giannis got his panties taken off multiple times in the playoffs, luka hasnt

He will never be a defensive player goat potential my ass lol

he became an all star player at 22…not a late bloomer at all

@@trvspvrk 3 i'm talking about when it came to him being a super star. Players like magic, LeBron, MJ, Wilt, Kareem were superstars earlier in their careers than him.

lebron and giannis won there first and second mvp at 24 and 25 but giannis won his first championship at 26 and lebron at 27 giannis also has a dpoy and lebron doesn’t he most definitely has goat potential

@@futurekillerful 1st picked up a basketball at 13 , imagine if he played Bball earlier, he has trhe drive to do it imo

He only 27 healthy bucks would have won this year and I'm a dubs fan

Facts

Giannis already is one of the top 15 players ever.

You’re obviously a person who ignores context and math

Agree but 3 rings very possible

Crack cocaine??? You smoke crack cocaine dont ya

Clown

Someone is a hater I see because that's the only way u can say that about giannis having no skill.

Watch you’re mouth. Lebron is a legend. Top 3 all time. His performances are irreplaceable

If Khris was there it wouldn’t have went 7 games

@@chineduokeke4085 if Middleton shouldn't even come out of your mouth. Injuries are par for the course. Also Milwaukee fans said no excuses last year to Brooklyn fans. So now the shoe is on the other foot.

@@keithgupton9349Giannis without an 20 ppg all star took Boston to 7 and he averaged 35 13 and 7. He was clearly the best on the floor. Boston’s entire defense had to key in on him. Players in nba history that require multiple men to stop them: Wilt , Kareem , MJ, Shaq , Kobe , Lebron , KD , Bird, Giannis.

@@moetoosmooth2741 Injuries are no excuse. And close is only good in horseshoes. The bottom line is this. The so-called best player in the world didn't get it done AT HOME up 3-2. Kevin Durant was expected to beat a healthy Milwaukee team without Kyrie and Harden healthy for the entire series. So no excuses for Giannis

With Middleton out , he had to do more .

@@Mrcool19771 can you read? He was 1/16 throughout until G5 of the celtics series. Againt Bulls he was missing 3s and Khris wasn't injured yet.

@@MarkLaw13 . You are just a typical hater . Goodnight .

@@Mrcool19771 I'm actually one of his biggest fans. I'm not just a moron.

The man literally averaged 34 against the best defense in the league what more do you want him to do

At current skills he can't be the goat, all stars improved n became better in their career

Yup, and there’s more parity in this era than anytime since the 1970s. Lack of rings might prevent Giannis, Luka and the other young guys from even getting into the top 10.

nobody cares how many finals you been to. It's only how many you win

He doesn't have to go 8 years in a row if he wins more

@ Calvin Calvin People hella care that’s why we’re talking about it now

@@calvincalvin3132 It doesn't matter. Some players never sniff the Finals.

He won’t be better than Wilt.

GOAT that word gets thrown around too much He has Dominant Potential

@@cjfrm3658 he’s already the most dominant player in the league bro, wym “potential”

@@philjenkins9139 Yeah but GOAT is just different. Gonna be a monster off rip AND be nasty as a seasoned vet. TBD but unlikely imo…

Played the greatest team ever assembled back to back years. We gotta add sum context when truly speaking on that run. Imagine if kd stays in okc. You can make the argument that lebron ends up gettin that 4th 3peat(Kobe shaq, and 2 with Jordan) and dude yuu saying “bubble championship” look at all those teams and tell me who was boutta beat that 2020 lakers team Carry the hell on …. And all I’m saying even if he only wins one of those rings he would have 5. In my opinion when yuu take all that context together I would take Lebron as the best ever

Only won Finals MVP twice as well. Y’all know what time it was when Diesel was in LA

@@tjleaf3141 funny, shaq could win the finals before kobe, even when he had penny

@@flexhenry3 Maybe because MJ, Pippen and Roadman were the best team ever ? Maybe because Shaq was still very young in 94 and 95 when MJ retired and Olajuwon and Clyde Drexler won the titles ?

@@Anthonydu01630 what about in 96-98 when shaq had van excel, Eddie Jones, kobe off the bench, they were getting bounced out by utah

Spot on

I think he's already top 15 all time I have him at 14 on my list 1. Michael Jordan 2. Lebron James 3. Kareem Abdul Jabbar 4. Magic Johnson 5. Wilt Chamberlain 6. Kobe Bryant 7. Tim Duncan 8. Larry Bird 9. Shaquille O'neal 10. Bill Russell 11. Hakeem Olajuwan 12. Oscar Robinson 13. Stephen Curry 14. Giannis Antetokounmpo 15. Kevin Durant 16. Julius Irving 17. Jerry West 18.

Yea media goes overboard. LeBron is a phenomenon and while Giannis is incredible and has the talent to achieve similar heights, a lot needs to happen

lebron has only made that because he stacked the deck playing with other hall of famers he literally has done nothing alone

@@quinnosborn3441 that’s average. With the way Giannis shoots he likely won’t have that

@@pandabear1576 thats garbage, and he can easily get to that. Even Lebron did

He has that stiff, flat footed jumper. If he starts getting good and starts hitting it wide open like he is, they will start guarding it and then he won’t be able to get that shot off clean. In Order for Giannis to be a good shooter, he is gonna need to develop an entirely new mechanic.

@@quinnosborn3441 if he can get to it then why hasn’t he 9 years in the league?

he was a kid against the celtics so its natural, faced the wall for the first time against the raptors- which he now has over come, and 2020 was the bubble. idk anyone who cares about the mickey mouse ring

I know what you're saying, in their first 8 seasons of their NBA career Giannis accomplished more than LeBron with his DPOY, ring, and FMVP. They're virtually tied in everything else like All-star selections, all-nba, all-D, MVPs, etc.

@@jordanjenkins1671 Lol giannis not as good as those accomplishments thats the thing

@@kalix975 That's your opinion, but he exceeded every expectation, every criticism, every doubt people had in him. He won a championship in legendary and unforgettable fashion with a non-super team against a fully-loaded opponent that was the betting-odds favorite. Keep doubting him, it's only helped his legacy.
