The NBA world couldn't have been more wrong about Giannis and his playoff history. They said he choked against the Raptors, ignoring any and all context just to bring the man down. In this video we look over Giannis's playoff appearances, and put into perspective how wrong the NBA media was.

I am a lifelong Bucks fan (50 years) and as such, I can shed a bit of light on all this vitriol being spewed at Giannis. Reason one: he upsets the apple cart by being loyal and appreciating building a championship team and not buying one as almost every other champion since 2010 has. Reason two: the NBA hates him and never wanted him to stay in Milwaukee, because it is a small market. More than any other major pro sport, the NBA likes it’s superstars in bigger markets to maximize marketing options and rake in more money. The NBA has been this way since David Stern took over as commissioner and has only gotten worse under Adam Silver ( The Bucks were fined for tampering when they announced, while he was still under contract that they intended to sign him to a Supermax extension. How exactly is that tampering. He is their own player and is under contract). Reason three: Sports writers and commentators don’t like to be wrong on their predictions and will not admit they are wrong until you force them to. These vindictive morons will not admit they are wrong until the Bucks win one or two more championships.

Had to laugh at Bayless who graciously conceded that despite having no "killier will" and not being "That Guy" (whomever, or whatever that is!?!?), Giannis' playoff series performances were purely the result of "hustle" as opposed to talent, intelligence, physical superiority. Because as we know guys like Pat Bev and Draymond are always racking up 50pt games with double-digit rebounds in the playoffs!
@recoil53
@recoil53 2 года назад
Most bench guys hustle. And work hard at their games. Really, in every sport. But they don't have that physical base to work off of. And he works on his game like a guy that's getting cut at training camp. Giannis came from a league that was compared to a YMCA rec league and went to the NBA right away. He can QB a defense when a guy like KAT who played high level basketball all his life and was a strong defender in college can't figure it out. He's a top help defender when a lot of athletic players are just spazzes who can't figure out where to help. And he is a lockdown one on one defender. That's just on D - if anybody told you the 15th pick was a rebounding/defending monster you'd be happy with that. And Giannis did that in less than 10 years.

Dude watching Skip call all of Giannis' great play "hustle" plays was just... disgusting. Sure, Giannis IS hustling. Aka - he's trying. It's the damn playoffs, shouldn't everyone be trying at 100% max effort? If you aren't, then get the hell off the court. But it worked better for him then most because of many factors. Physical superiority - he's just stronger physically than basically anyone on the court. Credit to his weight room work ethic and his personal trainers. We praise other players who just "want it more than anyone else" Giannis wanted this title more than anyone else on the other team and we pass it off as "hustle" play instead of "killer will". He willed his team to Bucks in Six. 50 piece. 35, 12, and 5 for the first time ever in finals history. 60% shooting. If that's what hustle alone gets you, then damn, give me hustle over skill any day. Reality is: Giannis has been consistently one of the most disrespected super stars in media history. You know who has choked more than Giannis? Chris Paul. Why isn't he called a choker? James Harden, why isn't he called that? Joel Embiid. Why doesn't anyone say that about him? Why is GIANNIS a choker with questions of if he can be the lead guy on a championship team, when so many others always fall short. People love Dame - has he done what Giannis has? No? So he's a choker, right? These narratives never existed for those players. But they did for Giannis. I hope Giannis goes on to chip up a few more times and just shut the whole world up about who he is. Even now "only has a title because of injury". Bucks were hurt too. Including Giannis. Oh, and against the nets? KD needs a super team to beat Giannis then? Is that what the media is saying? Damn, then just how good IS Giannis?

Everyone tried to destroy Giannis. It wasn’t just the media. It was also the fans. They clowned Giannis about his lack of a shot, his free throw shooting, his air balls, and all the times he was posterized on dunks. Giannis took all that in stride and still keep shooting and defending. He would rather air ball then look scared like Ben Simmons. He would rather get posterized than run away from defense like 98% of the league does.

From that horrific knee injury to that block on Deandre Ayton..."from one extreme to the next."

His development of his own game comes on a very steep curve.

To call Giannis overrated or a choker is offensive when you just consider where he came from and his transformation over the last 8 years. Just on a basic human level, not even considering his abilities and stats mentioned in the video, prior to getting drafted he was selling DVDs on the street and sharing shoes with his brothers so he could survive and play. Name me one "Superstar" player in the league who had it tougher than that. A lot were playing on pampered AAU teams and overly-funded basketball programs. He came into the league as a lonely, unproven, wide-eyed, scrawny 18 year kid. His determination and will are unmatched by anyone in the league. When you look at what he came from and look at everything he has accomplished, even if you took away his NBA title, what he has done in 8 years is amazing. I just don't get how anyone could hate on him. How can you hate on that? It just really bothers and offends me when I hear that crap. People don't think he has guts or determination. Really? Last I checked he came from practically nothing, to a name they can't get out of their mouth. Look in the mirror, losers.

If the rest of the Bucks didn't forget how to shoot, those playoffs would have looked very different.

Aside from that I wouldn’t really pay much attention. In his rookie year I saw him at the mall with my brother. My bro asked me if I knew who that was. I had no idea, but he was absolutely nice taking pictures with the fans at the mall. Since 2016 I’ve gone to many games now cause of him. The energy and passion he brings the city is unique. I don’t understand how NBA fans or other team fans dislike him, a talented but hardworking individual. The best thing is that he’s a genuine person. Hats off to the Greek Freak!

I can’t give Giannis enough respect. He dropped 50 when it was most needed and carried the bucks through the playoffs and finals after a horrific looking leg injury. But the thing that I respect him most for is the fact that he didn’t go and make a super team somewhere with a big market team. He had the loyalty to stay with the Bucks and it paid off. The championship means a lot more when you do it like that rather than going to LA to get the easy finals win. I’m no Bucks fan but I’ve definitely become a Giannis fan.

Yeah Americans can be very patriotic. That's why their major sports are different to other countries. Americans always got it do things their own way and attempt to be flashier and more flamboyant than the rest. So a foreign player coming over and dominating their own game... I can see why the media didn't really like it. It's part of the reason why Hakeem Olajuwon isn't praised a lot, even though he was easily the second greatest player of the Jordan era. Guys like Ewing & Robinson receive more praise from the media, and definitely Shaq. Luckily a lot of Americans don't think like those media vermin and have accepted Giannis and taken a liking to his personality.

Against the Nets, most of the fools in ESPN were still favoring them over the Bucks even when Kyrie was out and Harden wasn't 100% healthy all because they believed in the greatness of KD. But when the Bucks finally defeated the Nets, they used the injury excuse card. It just shows how they never really liked the Bucks because they wanted the big market teams to win. By the time the ECF rolled, you can see in their faces that they were uninterested at times compared to when the Nets were blowing them out in the semis.

Kyrie is always injured and Harden showed up out of shape & kept pulling his hamstring. And Donte, who would have been a vital backcourt defender in the Nets, Falcons, and Suns series - was out. I like Durant's game and I respect that he shook hands after game 7, unlike Harden, as well as told Giannis to "get yourself one". But a one man team isn't going to win the last few games most of the time.

Injuries shouldn’t take away from a championship run because injuries are a part of the game and if you wanna win you gotta stay healthier than your opponent
@NintyPrime
@NintyPrime 2 года назад
Don't forget the "toe on the line" stans out there as if the game ended right there. He had both feet on the line, not just a single toe. And it's KD's fault for not being more court aware. The game was tied. So why didn't the best player in the world show up when his team needed him most in OT at home in a game 7? He went 0-6. Meanwhile giannis tied the game over KD late, before Middleton got them the lead for good. One player took less shots but made the important one. Another basically took every shot and misse dthem all, including getting stuffed at the rim. "KD made the most clutch basket in history" - he lost the game. If that's considered the "most clutch shot in nba history" - what was Khris Middleton's shot 4 years ago against the celtics at the end of regulation from practically half court to tie the game and force it to OT? It was a much more impressive shot and also tied the game and was more difficult. But the bucks lost in OT. So nobody cares. So why should we care what KD did, if it resulted in a L? The narrative after game 7 should have been: Giannis outduels Durant. Instead it's injury excuse and toe. Stop making excuses for KD. He has not done ANYTHING without a super team. Even his finals run in OKC had Westbrook and Harden, with Ibaka in his prime, on that team and they lost. KD has more playoff meltdowns and failures than Giannis.

The list could actually go on just off of this playoff run alone. Also, think about this, a couple years ago when his team was off, Giannis had difficulty doing it on his own (because the defense keyed on him), this year, in game 6, his team was off and he carried them to a championship.

After all the drama with the Packers im very thankful for what this man did and can honestly say it was some of the most fun ive ever had watching sports and im more excited for the NBA to be back then the NFL

Hitting all those Game 6 free throws proved Giannis' dedication & character. But I remember the rookie Magic played center when Kareem was hurt and beating Dr. J's 76ers. That was at least a tie with Giannis' awesome game 6.

That game 6 of the finals series is what you would show to anyone if he wants to know what carrying a team on one man's giant back looks like. Khris had 17 points as the second highest scorer and Jrue shot 4/19, scoring 12 points. The dude not only dominates offensively scoring 50 points, but his defense is also superb. I've never seen anyone hard carry and actually is successful in an NBA finals game or the entire NBA finals. Giannis has 3 40+ games in 6 finals game. Lebron has 8 in 55 games. MJ has 6 in 35 games. Kobe, AI, and Wilt only had 1. Jerry West had 10 in 55 games.

Thank you Dillan for a true, deep and logical analysis. We’ve listening to the mainstream crap and so called analysts. They are a joke. They can only talk about Lebron, he is their cashcow. No creativity whatsoever. Giannis is really the most ignored superstar in the NBA. With Embid, he is the most dominant player in the NBA and still they won’t talk about him. I think it’s because he’s from Europe, as in born, lived and evolved in Europe before he came to the USA.

Great video, the narratives around Giannis this postseason were very aggravating. He finally proved the doubters wrong though, it's his league until further notice as far as I'm concerned. Although, one small thing is it's kind of unfair to include nick wright in the thumbnail. I know a lot of people dont like him, but he's been consistently high on giannis for the past few years and was one of the few i saw in nba media who actively pushed back against the lame narratives this postseason.

There was talk for months before he signed his extension that a number of teams were hunting Giannis. Golden State were reportedly putting a trade package together with Andrew Wiggins, Draymond Green and a number of picks, just to acquire Giannis. Imagine the utter carnage a fully healthy Steph, Klay and Giannis could inflict on other teams. Clippers, Heat, Lakers, and almost every other team in the NBA were willing to go all in on Giannis if he was to go to Free Agency, and yet, he chose to stay in Milwaukee. If ring counting, personal stats and the potential for GOAT status is what Giannis cared about, he would have gone to Golden State. Won a handful of cheap rings and the "choker" narrative would have been dead in the water. Not only that, but no one would be questioning the guy. You may not like Giannis, but you gotta respect him.

Not sure how I'm just seeing this, but dope video! One thing I think most people fail to recognize, I really don't think the Bucks do the best with surrounding Giannis with teams that really compliment him. Other than his Championship run, some of those years like you mentioned the teams have just not been the most suited for Giannis, on both ends (more so offensively.) I think the first true difference that really propelled them forward was getting Jrue (while the first mistake was losing out on Brogdon.) I think the only other good moves were drafting Thon and Jabari at the time (thought Thon would've panned out more, and of course Jabari not being injured like that may have had things a bit different.) Regardless, I think a coaching change will hopefully help them currently. Bud's done a lot, but didn't seem to make those necessary adjustments, and just stuck with what has worked up until said point. I hope their new coach AG holds Giannis more accountable, as far as putting him on opposing team's best players when things get intense or need to be shut down. We saw last year what he did when he had to guard Tatum and such. Hopefully he can be more utilized as his DPOY status is.

Awesome vid man! subbed. One small critique, Finals G1 when Giannis returned you said he "struggled", he said himself in an interview after that he was "still feeling out what he could do with his knee" and took only 11 shots (6/11). With that all said, he still finished with 20/17/4/2stl/1blk in 35mins so I would hardly call that struggling, more that he was limiting himself/playing time.
