Giannis running a one-man fastbreak is probably the scariest thing in basketball.

It will be interesting to see if Silver et al will weigh the cost/benefits and possibly shorten the season. We all know the owners want to maximize profits...but if you have guys like Durant and Klay going down like they did...that really, really dilutes your product.

What I love the most about Giannis is that he manifested his destiny. Giannis wasn’t a top prospect out of high school or college. We didn’t track him for years before his nba debut. No one really thought Giannis could be this good. I think that’s the most amazing part. Everything you see this man do on the court is 100% the result of his hard work and determination. Giannis could have been that skinny kid he was when he was drafted and we wouldn’t have even looked at him as a good player. Many people don’t remember he was a part of the 2015 dunk contest. He was a completely different man back then but I would say he had a bad night and maybe that was his first time experiencing failure on a national stage. The pressure wasn’t huge for him to win the contest but I can see a lot of other players getting affected a lot more by a lot less. Giannis might be an athletic freak of nature but his mindset is his biggest weapon.

It's not like Brandon Ingram or KD where it is clear they will struggle to put on weight. Giannis was always very physical even when he was skinny. What made him a risky pick was how raw his technique was. He was taken purely based on potential because of his ridiculous physical tools.

I got to see the Bucks play my Pels a few years back, (back when Bucks weren't one of the dominant teams). Went to go see young Giannis. Me and my buddy got better seats than we normally did, because they were cheap. We ended up getting 5th row (I've sat closer, but not back then). Been to over 100 NBA games, watched NBA all my life.... so clearly, I understand that basketball players... are big. But Giannis. My god. It was literally insane to see him up close. 6'11 and moves like a guard. It's one thing to see it on TV, but seeing dude in person is really like "Woah".

Have not watched NBA for decades since the MJs (Michael J and Magic Johnson) and this guy is pretty catching up with NBA greats and he is still young. He has power and quickness in his moves. Time will tell but at the pace he is playing - he will be one of them sooner than later barring major injuries. Hope he remains humble and down to earth once he gets to the top. Who knows, he could possibly be the greatest.
