@@CAKD_ The argument about KD being miles better doesn't make sense. KD being more "skilled" offensively isn't profound insight. Most all stars in the NBA are probably more "skilled" than Giannis in terms of variety of offensive weapons. No one is gonna tell me that Paul George (for example) is better than Giannis. If we get away from this bias against dunking and playing near to the basket, the offensive production between KD and Giannis is very similar. And Giannis is a much better defender. So who is better if one guy scores about as much in most situations and also gives you significantly better play going the other way?

@benjaminan1183
@benjaminan1183 2 года назад
Skill allows your scoring to be more inelastic, when Giannis faced the Heat (the most qualified team to throw bodies at him) he wasn't getting 30 consistently. In big games vs any type of team defense, it's virtually impossible to hold KD from dropping a super efficient 30-35 points.

@@benjaminan1183 even the most “skilled players” have had series where they struggled scoring. Curry, Kyrie, Kobe, harden etc. So bringing up series where he’s struggled is irrelevant.

@@dmdubb3129TS% encompasses more than FG% and KD easily has him there. I was referring to the Heat this year too, not just last year. My point was not about a scoring slump, it's about how they respond to matchups. Giannis usually isn't missing shots when he scores less, he just can't get a good shot when the other team zones. Whereas more skilled players like Durant & Kobe prove to be more resilient against teams that play alot of zones (Gn'G Grizzlies, 09 Magic), have elite man defenders (Spurs Kawhi/Bowen, Grizzlies Tony Allen) or teams with dominant rim protectors like AD. Especially considering the gap in pace & spacing from the Bucks to OKC/LA.

@@benjaminan1183 lmao he didn’t struggle against the heat. Maybe game 1 but all the other games his numbers weren’t as big because they were blowing them out. He didn’t need to score 30. He torched them for 30 pts and 40 points in the regular season too. IYou’re just cherry-picking at this point. You had a better chance at saying the Raptors in 2019. And even at that, he was 24 years old at the time, he’s gotten way better since then. Many teams tried to do what the raptors did and failed. The point I’m making is, he had a bad series. No one has been able to stop him this year and that’s evident. You don’t average 28 by accident Let’s not bring up the fact that KD has also had perrenial all stars by him his whole career to help some the scoring load off of him.

To call him a pompous a-hole is not enough... he has such a warped view of himself, that anyone who he deems "not on his level" is insulted and dismissed. What most people consider their "opinion", SAS states his as if it's a "fact". Poor Max needs to get out of there with his dignity intact!

@@von1626 For me Giannis is currently the most dominant player in the league if you take into account the impact he has on both sides of the pitch but KD has more technical ease in attack and remains good defensively. It remains 2 different player profiles, one explodes everything in the paint in the manner of Duncan and Shaq and the other knows how to do everything in attack, with an unlimited offensive arsenal to the point of being considered one of the best offensive players of all time. It remains 2 great players but these shitty media doesn't know how to praise a player without being obliged to slander the other do not fall into their analysis without nuance and often intellectually dishonest.

This comment is terrible. Lebron is literally one of the MOST skilled. His mental IQ, passing, he scores from each level, has a post game, plays on ball and off ball defense well. Can dribble and finish with either hand equally, he has moves he can go to also.

There's almost literally nothing in basketball LeBron cant do, He just uses his IQ to operate in the most effective ways now that he's older, I.e. using size, his passing ability and tempo control.

Stephen A didn’t get enough sleep. The man forgot how to have a real debate, and he was barely listening to what Max was saying. He treated max very disrespectfully. Also, doesn’t Giannis have better rebounding and rim protection than KD? Are those not also skills? These are physical basketball skills that matter too! It’s not only about scoring and jumpers!

Stephen a smith has been shitting on max since he came to first take years ago on basketball knowledge. When talking about boxing you can tell Kellerman is a much more happy and confident. It’s that Stephen a smith has a bad habit of disrespecting MK , to the point it’s detrimental to the shows quality.

He didn't understand the question either. The question was, if Giannis shoots 89.5% from the line consistently, is that Giannis the best player on the planet? I would really like to know. That's an interesting question. What happens if you can't intentionally foul him? Whole defensive schemes have to be created for that dude.

It is all an act, you people. SAS is supposed to be the bully, Max is the reasonable softie. All scripted. ESPN is part of Disney, they NEVER do any show without extensive scripting. Only the live sports part is real, but I bet ESPN would love to script the games as well.

Giannis is a better on ball defender (that's a skill) , Giannis is a better help side defender (that's a skill) , Giannis is a better rim protector (that's a skill) , Giannis is a better Rebounder (That's a skill) , Giannis is a better passer (that's a skill) , Giannis is a better finisher (that's a skill) , Giannis is a better post player (skill) Basically what people are saying is , KD is a better shooter and looks smoother on offense....which isn't a valid argument really

He's right. He's above K.D. Giannis never needed to join a superteam to get a shot at the title. To me, it's the strength of character which puts Giannis in a league above these so-called "superstars" who hop teams to chase an easy ring.

Every time Stephen A disses Max I just get disgusted watching this show because once the dude finishes his point you throw him into a corner and say he’s bad. Im just tired of watching Stephen A do this to Max even if he may be wrong at times but at least let the guy make his point without being diss every day.
