A SLOB Breakdown of Josh Giddey
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 чер 2024
- Since day one, Josh Giddey has continuously demonstrated his elite level of passing in the NBA. As he develops alongside the promising Oklahoma City Thunder, Giddey consistently proves that when the basketball is in his hands, beautiful things happen.
As a playmaker and initiator, Josh Giddey is exceptional. His ability to create points out of nothing, especially with his knack for reading a defense in sideline and baseline out-of-bounds settings, is even more remarkable.
In this video essay, we break down how Josh Giddey of the Oklahoma City Thunder has become the best inbounder in the NBA, and arguably one of the best in the history of basketball.

One aspect of Giddey's game not talked about enough is his composure especially in high-pressure situations. This guy plays like a savvy veteran at such a young age.
And people wanna trade him away, smh, dude is a key part of our build and this is why, our ball movement is second to none when he is on the floor.
That's a Hunter Smith GUARANTEE
@@brandonbeglin2379haha
@@Mjayss_ He's now shooting above 35% from 3. And he's still our best passer and rebounder ( no disrespect to SGA and Chet)
Is that worth him being a major exploitable defender. Is having to pay him worth losing chet or shai or jalen? No? Didnt think so. Let someone else overpay for ball movement.
@@lostone9700 yeah but who you gonna replace him with? I saw alperen sengun tonight destroying lauri markannen but we need a shooter if you see Isaiah Joe how he makes our offense rating skyrocket
My Fav player to watch!!!
Great video as always! Really hope that off-court stuff doesn’t affect him too much. I love his game, it’s so unique!
I'm from Adelaide and when you see him do it live and hear the collective 'gasp of the crowd it's something special. What's funny is in one of first games in nba he stuffed it up and cost the game 😅,live n learn 😊
Woah in an Oklahoma accent is FUCK YEAH.
Bit of a stretch calling his dad "Warrick Giddey" an Australian Basketball legend, he played a lot of games in the NBL but averaged 3.3 points per game and 2.7 assists per game on a team with some true Australian Basketball legends (Gaze, Bradtke, Copeland).
Lot of players in the early years of the NBL "played a lot of games"
But yeah, Josh is pretty legit!
Really excited to watch Giddey's career. OKC is my fav team to watch atm.
If OKC was in a larger market with more televised games these men would be household names. They're such a young team. If the Thunder can stay together for two more years they're going to be unstoppable!! Thank you for explaining why Giddy is a slob wizard. 😊
Let's get Giddey with it
He’s always walking on eggshells at OKC.
Free Giddey!
ikr 😂
Great video, man. Very nicely done.
Absolutely great video, informative and entertaining! I usually prefer sport videos without backround music, but that ambient thing really works.
No matter what the sport is, football, hockey or basketball, playmakers are what i enjoy watching the most. :)
Love your videos dude!
I can’t believe the disrespect that so many show to Josh.
This analysis is spot on. Josh may not ever be the ‘best’ player on the team, but you can make a case that he might end up being the most ‘important’ to winning some important games over the next few years.
The crap he’s had to deal with, both in relation to a personal error (the like of which gets made from time to time), and the endless ‘trade him’ whining … says more about the people participating in it that it does about Giddey.
The ‘booers’ are judgmental assholes - and the ‘traders’ are just plain clueless.
The booers are probably fans of other teams that want to ruin OKC.
noted. important lexicon update: statutory rape is now “personal error”
@@freetimeprojex explains why the girl and family don't want to comment at all
So boooing someone who was having sex with a underage girl is being a judgmental asshole now 😂your crazy as hell
@@freetimeprojexthe girl is not always right you know. Sometimes people lie.
I have friend who was accused of something similar and he’s life was destroyed, he lost his job and strain was put on his relationship. A lot of people turned on him and then after two yrs of hell and court proceedings the girl admitted she lied and my friend had photos of him at a wedding about 7hrs away from were he was meant to be committing a crime. nothing happened to the girl but my friends life was destroyed
My favorite for okc thunder insights always always creative. Best okc content that ROLLS out.
Such an excellent video!!!
Giddey Up! Thunder Up!
Great video. Didn’t know this about him.
Shai is our point guard. but Josh is a quarterback. and that combination is what makes us unique.
P.S. Dub is like if Edelman were also just a super tight end also
If Chet turns into Wilfork on screens, league better put us on national tv
Quarterback is an american football position they don't have those in basket all.
@@Ericrawnsleycorrect me if I’m wrong but, basket all isn’t a thing is it???
As a Mavs fan, I'm jealous of OKC.
inbound goat
Love the 80s vibes! You really need to do this for other players and teams..
Maybe I will...
So he is second only to Le Bron in the fastest 1000 assists in NBA history.. achieved in the last game and there is still trade talk... WTF..
Look as his detailed stats for this year they are mostly on par with last year of better despite his fewer minutes , changed role and the off court issues he has had to deal with.
The only actual trade talks happen outside their building, haha. They ain't trading him for a long time.
His minutes being down is a GOOD thing. It means Chet was not a bust and it means Joe deserves a ton of playing time as one of the best shooter's in the league. His minutes dropped because the team is deep.
It annoys me how they are only giving him 20 minutes a night most games.
I want him to go somewhere he’s appreciated and built around.
If he goes somewhere like Utah you’ll see him really shine!
It annoys me too, but I'd rather he stick with OKC. They're a team on the move and he's s huge part of the rebuild. He'll start clickin' again. Just gotta work on some aspects of his game more, like 3s and defence and his drives could be more polished. He also just needs to be more aggressive. Dude is 6 ft 9 now, he should just be dunking more TBH, I know he can. A great player will always be improving their game, and Giddey can do that.
@@md11x6 I think he needs more opportunity as the main facilitator
Not just when SGA doesn’t want it
I'd like to see SGA off ball more early in the clock and using the cut over the slash. His slithery style would still have gravity and Giddey can hit him to advantage.
But Giddey needs to develop a scoring game to justify opponents not sagging off a ball handler, otherwise he risks being a guy who will need to be a great defender to fit a Draymondesque role.
I like his floater game, but he needs a midrange at a minimum to make him a threat to score and not require him to have the ball to be effective (on a team with an MVP level on ball scorer.)
@djohnd dude he has a particular role.
Because basketball is not just inbound pass. There are so many aspects of the game that Giddey isn’t making a positive impact to the team.
Fit is not there as simple as that.
Don't like that term you call him but you rationalise his team value really well. Funny vid
Saint Mary's College definitely runs the Australian Shuffle.
5:27 How this pass even went though is baffling to me. Giddey is a true SLOB wizard
There's no doubt the underage stuff has seriously affected his gameplay this season. The booing from opposition fans has made Josh pass the ball early in set pieces and he hasn't been as dynamic. He certainly wasn’t taking as many risks with his passes. However as the season has progressed he has started to feel more comfortable in his skin and has started to play his best basketball. In his most recent games he has started to do his flashy wizard like passes.
The police are no longer investigating the case and although the NBA are now looking into it, the threat of jail time is no longer going to be the case. I suspect the NBA may give him a fine for bringing the league into disrepute and possibly a 1-5 game suspension (at worst) but realistically he will get a suspended sentence and will just have to deal with the continued boos from opposition fans.
Great video and channel btw. I’ve subscribed! Thunder Up
Not sure why he would get a fine if police investigation found no wrong doing?
@@Philbyyyyexactly, if such a thing happened the player's union would immediately need to get involved and force the league to rescind the fine and apologize.
the charges were dismissed, Josh is the victim of a smear campaign and this guy thinks the league should punish him for that? Fuck that, if he did anything wrong the cops would be on his ass. Charges dropped for lack of any kind of evidence of wrongdoing, he was falsely accused of some bad shit and his reputation is toast forever for that nonsense. Enough of guys having their lives ruined over nothing, Josh Giddey, Trevor Bauer, Matt Araiza
It's too much!
Fun fact he was virtually ignored for rep teams most junior life
I think the main issue is fitting into his smaller role. I think the main issue is that now that the Thunder are in more of a playoff phase, they don't have the time to utilize as many of the "developmental minutes" as they were once able too. With that said he's still a phenomenal playmaker.
Giddey Godddd
Giddey is getting 6 less minutes per game this season for some reason so his stats are a bit down but he's improved his 3 point shooting all the way up to 34.5% from 32% and his free throws also up to 82% from 73%. I also think his game suffered on the road from constantly being booed every time he touches the ball from the now defunct allegations against him so that should no longer be an issue since that situation is over. He's a big part of their success so they should get him more minutes and they'd better not trade him.
And they’re so bad at rebounding, he’s basically there best rebounder.
👍
And people wonder why Holmgren is a "winner" at such young age: SGA, Giddey, Jalen. All of em good/excellent passers, Jdub a B, Giddey a B+, Shai a A-. Chet is already talented, but if you have solid passers around you everything gonna be waaaay easier, cause you don't have to do extraterrestrial things regularly, just follow what the others are telling you. Your job is to be at the right spot, at the right time
Wait did anyone see that other moniker on bball reference.. HIMOTHEE CHALOMET
No more Giddey slander, ya hear
Makes me think the mavs should use luka as the inbounder in these situations late game.
Especially with Kyrie on the floor. Also I’m gay
@@user-ct1ns6zw4z it sucks, but it's sexy
Man's already said don't call him that
People don’t control their nicknames. People who make up their own nicknames are lame.
@@jessekillian2866peasant mortal
@@jessekillian2866 Like Kevin Durant. He liked Slim Reaper rather than The Durantula, so people stopped calling him that. Lame.
Don't be nieve

You're giving away Giddey's trick of his trade bro lol.. Great video though
I remember in interviews he said many passes like this are credit to Mark as he draw those plays. I saw there is a screen almost every time when Giddey throw to the receiver… maybe sometimes are improvise but many are set play.
Tho it takes a precise pass to do it and like you said… team are “interestingly” not prepared for that before and now the secret is out, trick is revealed and we didn’t see these passes often.
I will say it’s more of a “magic”pass… he maybe a magician but not a wizard.
who up joshing they giddey rn?
Himothee chalamet lol
He's zac efron in 17 again
Send him to the spurs,then we'll see the evolution of the game,
And idiots want to trade him
Trade him to Youngstown, so he can do his thing.
100% so many haters
Hopefully he plays for the boomers not like Simmons
trade bait! let's go!
🤡
He wont be in the league past a second contract. I havent seen anyone miss as many bunny layups as this guy. Good inbounds passer, not much else. Hes maybe the 8 best player on OKC and thats kinda generous.
