- In this episode of Signature Shots, ESPN analyst Kirk Goldsberry explains why Giannis Antetokounmpo's unassisted dunks are different than Shaquille O'Neal's (1:11), how Giannis dominates without a 3-point shot (1:45), why Giannis is the most self-sufficient dunker in decades (2:13), what's unique about Giannis' dribbling and driving ability (3:21) and how these dunks create 3-point chances for his Milwaukee Bucks teammates (5:16).

Everyone is gangsta until he masters 3 point dunk 😂

@@whatsup4003 thats easy id wanna see him do a fullcourt 360° windmill and then poster someone like A.D. or Embiid or another dominant big-man
Ring to ring dunk.
You clearly havent seen the goat Brian Scalabrine's Full Court 360 Double-pump Windmill Fadeaway Dunk?
Jan Deniel Alpuerto how is that even possible
He can run the court faster than i can spell his name
So he can run at least 2 km/h?
Tijuana SIX now how did you come up with that
Probably faster than you can say his name
So could JR Smith most likley
Nice 1!!
Giannis is one of those players you can't be mad at even if he crushes your team. I hope he continues to get better and do well.
@ 6lack 1nk,
Lebron, James Harden, and Russell Westbrook were raised in the “ghetto” and they made it to the NBA while being upstanding men. Take that ignorant, racist BS somewhere else.

Giannis: *Jumps and dunks*
Ikr literally doing a layup then randomly outa nowhere halfway through the layup he slams it in the basket.
This man has centers height but the movements of a point guard
Westbrook version.
@@arielolivan5391 But with far better control, efficiency and shot selection and defense and...
I wouldn't say point, shooting guard or combo guard at best. If he has handles like kyrie, then yes PG it is. His handles and vision are combo guard at best nevertheless he's a freak! Just beasting inside.
It's. Not. Fair.
@@alekesam Westbrook made your comment age badly
1:15 that stat with Shaq is insane.
Pasicho ikr
I remember TMac saying he's seen grown man intimidated by Shaq. And just see how Pippen said Shaq was a problem for them. There is just no word to qualify his dominance.
That's why I can't understand why people acting like Zion is a freak of the nature

Only player this century who literally should have Won MVP & DPOTY in the same season. I'm a Laker fan so plz hear me out . These numbers are crazy, these records are insanse . We have never seen a player like him before , we appreciate players like this because they come once in a lifetime ! Thanks Giannas we hope your career is not shorten from injury and may God bless you with longevity the rest of your career . We love to see greatness !
@ BoxingWave 1on1,
Giannis is a great talent but he’s highly overrated. If he was as great as people say he is Kawhi would not have been able to completely shut him down.
Even though he didny win DPOTY, statistically he was ranked as the #1 defensive player in the nba. He may not have the trophy, but he has the results. That's why it's easy to say he was the best on both ends.
@@attainingknowledgeoftruth8348 kawhi, 1v1, lost. Giannis shot 6 for 7. Kawhi funneling Giannis into siakim, Gasol, and ibaka, is when Giannis struggled. The wall stopped him, well, more than that. When Giannis passed put of thr wall his teammates missed their shots. Which just made the wall more effective.
Kawhi alone didnt stop Giannis or shut him down. He just did a better job directing Giannis into the help. Something his teammates proved they couldn't do in games 1 and 2.
@@@NintyPrime ,
Siakim guarded Giannis the first 2 games and was not able to funnel Giannis to the big men. Giannis dominated Siakim and the Bucks won easily. Then Kawhi switched on Giannis and totally shut him down and the Raptors won 4 straight. Kawhi understood Giannis is a one dimensional player. He drives to the paint and changes direction with a spin move then dunks or passes out for a 3. All Kawhi did was cut off Giannis's spin move which forced him into the Bucks big men.
@@attainingknowledgeoftruth8348 "totally shut him down"
By Giannis dropping 22 a game on him while shooting 55%. If that's totally shutting someone down, then we have different definitions of what shut down means.
Siakim couldn't cover Giannis at all. This is true. But Kawhi didn't "shut him down". If they dont build a wall, Giannis is dropping 30. Giannis beat Kawhi 1v1 multiple times. Its Kawhi forcing him into the wall that slowed him down.
Even then he passed put of it and guys missed shots. Go watch the tape and how many wide open shots on those walls guys missed. Kawhi gets stopped, passed to Lowry, siakim, or vanvleet and they simply hit their shots.
That was the difference. Games 1 and 2 Giannis did dominate siakim, but bucks players hit shots too. Lopez. Brogdon. Middleton. Hill. Guys hit shots. They stopped hitting them the rest of the series.
People focus too much on one guy and ignore the fact it takes a team to win.
If 1 of his shooters is consistent in the playoffs then look out.
Khris middleton was pretty consistent at shooting 3s. He just can't hit his midrange and can't finish around the rim. His 2p% is lower than his 3p%. George Hill was consistent too.
You dumb to think 1 consister shooter is enough.
Paintless i hope you know khris has 0 points in one of the playoff games
Paintless and khris is one of the best at making hard shots in the paint, and the saddest part your probably didn’t know is Giannis was almost shooting the est percent at 33% from the 3
@@Juhinvr He's talking about shooting which during playoffs Middleton 3pt shot was 37.5% against Pistons, 47.2% against BOS, 45.8% against Raptors. This is while shooting the most 3FGA on the team with 6.1 3FGA. So what is consistent to you?
@@Juhinvr Then why did Khris shot 14.3% within 3-10 ft of the basket in the playoffs???? is that one of the best?
Just imagine gianis driving in the lane while klay n steph at the wing side.
Might have happened if steph was traded to Milwaukee
He's not coming to the woriorr
2 years later,
2 MVP
1 DPOY
1 FMVP
1 Ring
50 points in the final.
1 MIP as well and soon to be 2 rings, 2 fmvps and 3 mvps within the next 2 years
He is a beast
When teams build wall specifically for you, you know you're good.
69th like
Just like Wilt, Michael and Shaq
His famous move is taking 2 dribbles from half court and dunking
and traveling
Joel Arias HEY stop hating so what he takes an extra step once in a while not like lebron or harden don’t that too
Trump24 that’s what I’m confused about. Is he not traveling ? How come the refs aren’t doing anything about it? I mean don’t get me wrong I love giannis so no hate here. I’m just confused asf to how he’s getting away from these travels.
Trump24 look at 5:45 , that is not one step 😭
persian girl he travels a bit I can agree
He has G.O.A.T. prospects.
And now he's shooting 3s
v bad at it
By far the best analysis I've heard of Giannis yet.
I love Giannis because he always finishes strong. When he does a euro step that you think is still too far away on his last step or at a difficult angle, he still dunks it. In a NBA where it's gotten soft, Giannis is the one to still finish strong on every drive. He still throws it down hard when he could lay up.
Tbh he really got robbed for dpoty, not saying that just because I'm a fan
The broncos should have won the super bowl. Not biased at all lol
Your right giannis got robbed
True but he disnt deserve the MvP
@@tellsteveharveyidontwanthe2283 oh really? Tell us why.
@@tellsteveharveyidontwanthe2283 stfu
The run and dunk man
He is by far the best athelete the league has seen since Wilt.
I agree, imagine adding a mid range or floater though may not be needed, but dang imagine the possibility.
ImBarryScottCSS we still had mike shaq and Lebron soo
evylC giannis is taller than 2, faster than all and close to as strong as 2
LeBron has entered the chat....
@@AmanSingh-bt1rx LeBron is insane, but Giannis LITERALLY jumped over a man in a game for an alley-oop. And he's almost 7 foot
These clips makes Giannis look like he's playing against D2 college teams.
The fact that most of his points are driving from outside the 3pt line or in Transition, and still shoots 58% from the field is amazing
When he dunks on my team.
I be watching him like
Wish he was on my team.!!!
Ohhhh and now he is the NBA CHAMPION!!! MVP BABY
just when i thought i maxed out how much i appreciate giannis
Watching this a year and a few months later and Giannis has won his 2nd mvp and a dpoy in the same year as well as lead the bucks to the most wins that season with 61
Well this was prophetic lol 2021 NBA Champs & Finals MVP
I’m just worried that in the playoffs, a team will catch up to this “drive for a dunk or pass outside for a 3” formula just like the Raptors did last year. The 76ers in particular look like a team that could do that. If Giannis can get a shot though, then it’s game over.
You are semi right, but you and every one else keeps forgetting that, Bledsoe, mirotic, brogdon, lopez... Pretty much the entire team were ghosts the last 4 games. And dont forget that van fleet of toronto shot 14 out of 17 threes, or lowry, or powel that shot lights out... Im not even mentioning Kawhi... Imagine that
Fan fact: Giannis was the best 3 point shooter for the bucks the last 4 games
Only if they can solo guard him
If his teamates disapear on him they way they did after game 3 against the Raptors then yeah he is going to have a hard time.
People put all the blame on Giannis (understandable since that's the burden of being a superstar) but his teamates could not buy a shot from 3 at some point during the series against the Raptors
If he develops a better shot it's easy to say it's over. But what really hurt the bucks against Toronto wasn't Giannis and the wall. It was that the wall worked, because his teammates shot so poorly from 3 the last 4 games that Giannis lead the team in 3 point makes and 3 point shooting percentage. If his teammates even do a fraction of what they did all year, the wall fails and toronto loses. If vanvleet doesnt go crazy the last 4 games, the bucks also still win. That's just how good the Bucks still were defensively and how Great Giannis still was despite the wall on offense. It took a bunch of factors for the Raptors to take out the bucks.
The hope is this year in the playoffs the shots fall. No matter who shoots them. Add in a bit of a different team and bench unit and you could see different results regardless of what Giannis does from 3. Plus Kawhi is gone making his path easier.
Bottom line is, Giannis is unstoppable so long as his teammates shoot alright. They shot like garbage, so it was Giannis or bust and nobody wins a title on their own.
You guys all make a good point, I was so frustrated how Giannis pretty much wasn’t able to depend on his teammates anymore to make 3s throughout the playoffs and had to drive even more. That made it easier for the Raptors to just double him up all the time and shut him down cuz they knew his teammates couldn’t make 3s consistently
Back to back MVP 🦌💚💯
Trying to steal again that from harden?
@@ArczAngel he didnt steal it, HE earned it.
God bless you my brother you destroy this team continue do this champ
Arcz Angel last year harden averaged 25+shots a game while Giannis averaged like 14 shots a game and harden only averaged 10 points more but if Giannis took as much shots as harden he would averaged 38-44 a game
@@ArczAngel See ya when Harden never wins a championship
1:02 was NASTY and satisfying to watch!
Giannis!!

Great work ESPN, and this narrator great information and details, thanks and someone give this guy/team a raise, great project, looking forward to the next.
Giannis isn’t just a man he’s an art-form.
Well fast forward to now, giannis is doing better in his mid range and 3's now.
Giannis is a future monster in the league
And then he got his first ring! 🤘
He’s simply an 18 wheeler. Literally runs through everyone in the paint. His PPG % is unreal
One thing that I was so amazed with this dude last playoffs, is that even though they loss, he still wanted all his teammates back for another shot this season. Suddenly, some of his teammates looked for another team.
This was some analysis!!!
Man Of The Dark Aka Darkman or people who dont leave sweat pools on their couch watching every nba games
What a great video! Thanks for this analyzes.
whos here too after giannis wins his ring and final mvp?
Yerrr👌🏼💯💯
Thumbs up for that "75%" on the backboard at 4:24
Totally missed that

Love the takes this man does
Please make more of these because they’re great. Even about old school players, please.
4:57 “Giannis doesn’t care”
greek gods blessed this dude. he got so much blessings that they made him a freak

Thank you, I love your show.
Everyone literally afraid when he's dunking 😂, he doesn't have a very big body tho', but even my grandpa knows he has the muscle.

u just made me realize how scary raptors were last season
Fantastic analysis. Thank you sir 🙏🏿
Great video
It just too fun to watch him play
He can DUNK with both hands which makes him really tough
Best video series ESPN has
My favorite player right now. No one can drives dunks better than this guy.
Come playoff time let’s see again!
Last year was a good learning proces
The fact that Giannis can euro-step then dunk it over you makes it even more crazy, a literal God
Ginobli did it, too.
There’s a reason why @ESPN is probably the best place for stats. The script for this video was legit homework! Several people compiled A LOT of data to get this information out. Then had to get it to a host so he could read it AND know where all the vocal inflections fit. Nicely done nerds! I say that with ❤️!
this is a very crazy way to play and right now he is young but injuries can pile up doing this as his go to play..

@kjax y u on every giannis/mil video hating 😂😂how does this benefit you?😂😂
I hope they do awards this year. But I doubt that he will get DPOY no matter how much he deserves it. Nominated for sure, but too many voters don't like voting the same person for MVP and DPOY and prefer to vote for a pure defensive player like Gobert.
@@fury_021 Happy to be wrong in this instance. I was sad that the Bucks fell apart in the bubble though. If they had played like before Covid the triple crown might really have happened.

You were saying ???

Nice video.👌
anyone here after his finals MVP :)
Giannis can hit 3s he just needs a consistent jump shot
he needs a postgame...
LeeTravius Mckay we’ve been saying that for years but still
What he needs to learn and perfect is the skyhook, then he will be unstoppable even by Lebron
1:06 did anyone notice that awesome pick on Deandre Jordan by Bledsoe? what a beast!
This is why i believe in hardwork and good progress
I just wanna see giannis and curry in the same team. That would be awesome
Valentin Yi no

THIS GUY IS SPECIAL. PERIOD!
1:15 Shaq on the Lakers: *frown*
1:19 Shaq on Miami: *grins*
He’s so traditional, that’s what I love about him
Giannis is a freak of nature, he's a man amongst kids. I definitely didn't expect he would be this good when I first saw him, he had a massive genetic potential and he worked even harder to be this dominant force. Your potential means nothing if you don't work hard to achieve it.
*Unstoppable*
Imagine Giannis playing with shooters like Steph and Klay 😐
imagine instead of AD, its giannis and LeBron,,
Ferry Fernandus Lebron would slow Giannis down not gonna lie
evylC highly doubt that
eyeamblackroyalty yes he really would

The only man who can dunk from 3 point line
0:09 perfectly described
Am I crazy or am I hearing the Wilhelm Scream at 4:03?
Just give Giannis one superstar and it’s a gg for the whole league
Yes, that's the whole point. The other superstars team up with each other. It's kinda unfair when you have to face a team which has Lebron AND AD. Given the circumstances Bud has built a great system, but it's still hard to win.
ClickClack99 One superstar that can mesh well with his ball dominant style of play (not saying he’s not great off the ball)
well since Giannis is now putting on a good jumpshot I'd say this video aged like wine!
Hands down ..currently NBAs most dynamic player for me ... I would pay to watch him even if I dont support the Bucks ... truly magnificient ...
That one dislike is obviously Kanter
Imagine if giannis, steph, and klay played on the same team
Gilbert Axel I thought the same I think it would be over
Edit : it would be too much dominance in every category
@@kamilmusalat ikr, i think that team is better than the 2017/18 warriors team. I'm a huge kd fan but kd can't do the things that giannis do.

He also has a an incredible sense of balance. I’m not sure how many other NBA players could makes those exact moves without falling over, or losing the ball.
