And that was in a stacked western conference. So when Giannis gets to at least four rings as the anchor of his team we can start comparing him to Tim Duncan. Right now Giannis is sitting on a lot of potential in terms of the all time great conversation. Let's wait and see what else he does.

The fact that ESPN is hating on Giannis is actually helping him. Giannis will never go publicly to say that he's better than somebody else. He'll always crown other players as better and he'll proceed to destroy them on the court. Everytime the media crowns someone as "the best", they are merely giving Giannis the next target on his list.

The 4 letter probably did Cream City a favor by knocking Giannis down and underestimating him. He stayed here and got us a chip, 50 years after our only other championship. Giannis is a goddam world class dude on top of being the best on the court on any given night.

My favorite take was that Giannis was never gonna win in Milwaukee

Idk man, when it comes to underperforming, not closing games, and just straight up flaws in general that's really Ryan Hollins' expertise.

He needs to pass up Ryan Hollins first before we get into top 10 talks.

Giannis was getting criticized like this for the past 2 years because all of the so called experts started putting out a false story that he was going to the lakers when his contract with the bucks was up. When he stayed with the bucks he said that he's not going to leave due to what he felt was unfinished business with his team and don't listen to what anyone outside of himself has to say about what he's going to do with his career. Then he won a championship and said all of the people who said he should've went to the lakers and take the easy road can finally be quiet. They're salty over the fact that not only didn't he do what they assumed but he also accomplished what they assumed would never happen without him playing with another superstar and he threw it in their faces. As a result those so called experts try to downplay his achievements

Stephen A was right, Giannis isn't KD, he is much better. I've never understood the KD hype; being called the "greatest offensive player ever" when there are 4 or 5 players from his own generation who are better offensively. And then you add to it how KD is a me-first snowflake and how Giannis is a top 2-3 player with the least drama (him and Steph) and the comparison is absolutely laughable. Put it this way; if you're a fan or owner, which player would you want leading your franchise and which do you think will win you the most titles? Giannis is the obvious answer to both of those. And to anyone who says, "But KD has two rings!" You think if Giannis joined a 73 win warriors team he'd have two rings? Nope, he'd have more!

that's a great point

There are 2 types of people in the world, one who says "I'll prove you wrong" and one who breaks down and gives up. Giannis is the "I'll prove you wrong" type. I feel like Giannis likes it when people doubt him. Growing up the way he did and having to fight and claw his way up and prove people wrong, it's what he knows and what drives him to become better.

Why I will always say - "Give me the chance and I can do what some of these ESPN "analyst" do, at a fraction of the cost" lol.

Even saying he can't shoot is no longer true. 42% from mid range last year, above league average.

My favorite part is how haters took the opinions of former NBA scrubs as fact. Hollins said rebounding and defense were "little things", ironically he wasn't good at either of those in his time as a bench rider. Perk's best years were with Boston and he was never a determining factor in OKC's success. Even Nick Collison had more important moments and came up big when his number was called upon.

ESPN and a lot of NBA media have issues with the guys who weren’t supposed to be elite. Guys like Giannis, Jokic, and even Steph weren’t supposed to be this good in their eyes, and them being so great makes the media look like idiots. Even the players can’t give these guys their proper respect because they weren’t 5 stars and didn’t play in the AAU circuit

I think GA could make a great analyst when his playing days are over, if he chooses to go that route. He's bright, funny, and knowledgeable (nobody gets that good without understanding the game). Most of all, he would bring a refreshingly different personal perspective to the broadcasts.

Giannis is awesome, and he is the best player in the NBA, Even if some people in the US media doesn’t want to acknowledge.

"There will always be haters. And the more you grow the more they hate; the more they hate the more you grow"

SAS is xenophobic. He does this with every foreign player from Giannis to Luka to Joker. Remember when he had to apologize for his comments about Ohtani. SAS is xenophobic.

Giannis looks at his own flaws and works on his weaknesses EVERY year. He is the hardest working player in the NBA today closely followed by Doncic and Jokic. The Balkans are essentially showing the NBA how to move ahead and the BRUVAS don't like it. Reminds me of AND1. Those guys really worked for it.

I can't wait for giannis to win another ring just for him to say something like "I won 2 with and for my team b**ches!!!!" 😂😂 But he'll probably just say "GG"

Hollins played 10 seasons in the NBA!? I mean, when did he played? I don't know him.

ESPN gets it wrong alot...and pats themselves on the back for helping fuel the fire when a player steps up and proves them wrong...Curry in 22 Finals MVP....cancel ESPN

taking ja over giannis is so absurd. giannis is more productive on BOTH ends of the floor and its not even close!

The way Giannis is starting to knock down his shots recently might dispell that nonsense about his perimeter shooting

This season he will be better at 3 points he is been training get ready this guy is dedicated his life to tis he loves it so he can be the best one day of all time.🇬🇷

The last time I saw Ryan Hollins he was playing 3Ball and not even a analyst anymore .

Amen.about time.even this year they still disrespect him.next year he will come back stronger and better.

I believe part of his image problem has to do with him playing in Milwaukee. If he played in NY or LA you wouldn't be hearing the smack talk.

Ryan Hollins was confused because he was so bad he never sniffed a 4th qtr unless his team was getting blown out

FYI, IN EVERY SPORT ITS A FACT THAT DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONS 💯 💪🏽

Some of these "reporters/analyst" are mouthpieces for agents and agencies. Including former players. It's sad.

Giannis can guard KD better than KD can guard Giannis. Playing one on one, Gianni’s wins. It’s not a free throw contest nor is it a 3point shooting contest where it’s only about shooting percentage.

Kendrick Perkins said Gianni’s needs that little brother like almost all of the nba’s best players haven’t had any sort of help or another key player on their team 💀

-Ryan Hollins,where did this idiot disappear to,Perk has replaced him? -Its true Giannis is not KD,Giannis is much,much better.

ESPN reticence to give Giannis his props is suspect. They’re takes are always he’s great… but… I think there’s like some micro racism from black men against the freak… Like they view as more of a foreigner than a “BRUVA” and they don’t want to put respect on his name. They’re ok with saying he’s good but they believe the top dog has to be what they identify as a black man not a foreigner. It’s kinda of the way certain people didn’t want to see Hank Aaron get the all time home run crown because it was the holy grail and should be held by someone who looks like the Babe not the Hammer. I want to point out I’m a Blackman and Giannis is coming for Lebron on Rushmore

Gilbert said players today are more skilled. Than said a player with no skills won a championship. Never forget. Gilbert choked two free throws cause a man whispered in his ear 😒

Great analysis ✔️✔️✔️✔️✔️

I think there is a big anti-American thing going on with the hate on Giannis and the denial of how good he really is. Just look at the backlash from Jokic, another foreigner, winning B2B MVPs. This is so shamelessly apparent in the US press.

-Those stupid narratives ESPN does were started by Stephen.A. -Even his face does not look believable when trying to prop up Ja over Giannis.

The fact that Giannis gets so much hate even though he is easily gonna be a top 5 PF when he retires is crazy, ive been a bucks fan for life and this disrespect by ESPN is insufferable

If playing like Giannis isn't a skill and was just a result of his physique, I wonder why Zaza never won an MVP.. or Varejao..!!! Both have a championship ring but never an MVP award.!!

Most of the NBA media have a foreign player bias that's pretty obvious. Giannis, Luka, and Jokic are constantly talked down about or just flat out ignored despite having solid arguments to be included amongst the top 5-7 players in the league.

Ill never forget the finals when Giannis won a game by blocking an alley-oop dunk. He won the very next game with an alley-oop dunk himself. I use to underrate Giannis just like the media. Once I watched and compared him to the other greats, it was pretty obvious how great he really is. The media is very good at what they do - framing narratives. You can be dead wrong or talkin shit but viewers overlook it if its entertaining. Once you do your own research like yourself, you can clearly see thru the bullshit and learn the real facts.

He got nothing to say against those who criticise him. All that he cares about is his love for the game of basketball, Always in a positive mindset and most of all a humble person, He doesnt even consider himself as a great player...with that kind of personality, at that young age..i think Giannis is already the GREATEST!

Ryan Hollins please stop talking basketball forever

even luca said yesterday that giannis is the best player . people think that basketball is only scoring NO giannis is better defender than all top players

It's all because he's not American . They can't accept a European is a GOAT

The reason for the hate is , he wasn't born in the US, if he was they would speak of him as the greatest ever!

If giannis meets the high standards of espn he’d be the greatest basketball player in the history of basketball forever, a 7 foot big that can run the floor as fast as prime John wall, can finish like Lebron, can shoot like curry, defend like pippen, block shots like mutombo and is more clutch than any player to lace up a pair of ball shoes, that’s crazy

Don't ever criticize Giannis or your favorite player will be his next target

Agreed. Because he's in a small market. Anytime they want to stop yapping about L.A. would be fine with me. And as for Stephen, sometimes he's right, sometimes he's wrong. But he's always loud.

He 10-1 vs KD now

For me i think the media has made Gianni's a beast.

Giannis MVP NBA championship 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾

Hypothesis: These sports analyst panels need someone to serve as comic relief. Stephen A's shtick is a riot all on its own, so he qualifies while also being a good analyst (although he was a bit faulty here, but not absurdly so). But perhaps Hollins & Perkins really are only there to be laughed at for saying ridiculous things.

Jealously is a disease

U didn’t even mention ja’s playmakinf lol that makes up for his lack of defense, which he definitely still has potential to develop with those high flying blocks. He’s still no Gianni’s obviously but like that’s knocking his game a lil too much

Ryan Hollins? Never heard of him. For a good reason I'm sure.

Ryan Hollins should change his name to Giannis Hater Hollins

No one can match Giannis for years now. He is consistently a top 3-5 offensive player and he is consistently a top 3-5 defensive player. You can't beat that. And I don't give a shit if you score 3s or if you score jumpers or if you dunk. Why people think making your way through a whole defence and dunk is "easier" that shooting a 3? It is not easier and it is MORE physical as well. Any person with a brain would pick as his No1 player to build a team Giannis. It's like getting 2 players at once FFS....
