The disrespect for Giannis in sports media is getting out of control. Even Embiid knows that Giannis is one of the top 3 players in the NBA right now and most of the analyst just wants to discredit Giannis because KD's toe was on the line, but nobody talks about him not making a shot in the OT in Game 7. Would have been Embiid or KD winning all of Gianni's accolades and everyone would be saying that they are the best players in the NBA without any doubt.

Nah they wouldn't if it was Embiid or KD because Embiid & KD are two of the most hated NBA players in the league. Giannis is one of the most loved players meanwhile. So Giannis gets more love and support than Embiid etc does. I mean remember when Embiid went to Miluwakee with just role players and dunked Giannis on his court with all Giannis's starters there. Or his 40 point triple double v the Cavs in regular time? Got no media coverage for them pm.

I won't even address the latter half of your comment cause it was straight up delusional and disrespectful for someone who has constantly proven haters wrong over and over. Giannis has reached a next level of potential with his achievements so far at Age 26 and people like you are too afraid to admit that possibility.

Made this podcast a lot more authentic imho.

Bruh he has an opinion he’s not disrespecting the game of Basketball 😂 I put Giannis either 1 or 2 you clearly have him at 1 and JJ at 4 and that’s cool we disagree but none of us are “disrespecting the game”

Ruben it seems you know very little but keep up the fucktard comments..lol..go you

Really enjoyed this thanks

Love watching these

Hahaha, the foul-baiting end 🤣. It's amazing how much he reminds me of Shaq. "I'm always double-teammed" as an argument and excuse for everything. And the utter confidence "no one can guard me one-on-one". That's 100% Shaq and I can't remember other player like that in this century. Other than that, great chapter! Congrats team. You're having All-NBA Tatum, Luka, MVP candidate Joel and HoF Pau Gasol in consecutive weeks. Impressive.

so you would rather see him be less confident when he speaks, when in reality his confidence fuels part of his greatness on the court? it forces him to take chances and step outside the box to do those great things he does. Also him saying he and shaq get doubled team, is simply a fact.

Great ep with the greatest center of all time

Great episode, nice format with the clips too

love you guys. awesome convo

It really is insane how much Joel gets doubled and tripled and still finds a way to stay aggressive and score almost 30 a game.

He can still shoot over smaller guys coming to trap him. gasol and al horford used to lock him up he can stop it

You gotta get kyrie on here, especially after the mandate being lifted. And with the duke connection I’m surprised that he hasn’t been on the show yet

this was a great episode guys, great work

Great interview!!!!! Thank You

Get Ben Simmons on the show

He said " I knew i was going to be average offensively" Bruhhh Was averaging 28 in his sleep since he first stepped on da court what he talkinn bout!!

I been waiting on this one.

Love this - what an interview!

DPOY topic is interesting. For perimeter players I would look at deflections, contested shots & the FG% of those contested shots.

Historically though he has a point. Defenses are anchored usually by the 5s and not the guards/wings that are the point of attack. The fact that it hasn’t really changed as the game has opened up for more perimeter oriented & faster paced play, nor that paint shots (including layups) haven’t lost more value than the 3PT gaining more value is a testament to this.

@@tyjohnson3111 perimeter players are more prone to recording steals and deflections, so I'd look at those stats exclusively for them. For bigs, I'd look at how well he handles the paint. Number of contested shots & the FG% of those shots would be looked at for both.

It's crazy how Joels knees are taller than the couch JJ is sitting on

love this podcast

This was FANTASTIC

What has jokic accomplished?? Even with his other star players? It’s crazy that Gianni’s dominates and still doesn’t get respect

No timestamps, sheesh...

I love Jojo. It’s crazy to think he only started playing basketball at 14 years. That talent is crazy. This interview was so good. Love the chemistry and love how candid Jojo is.
