44 / 14 / 6 in 39 minutes. Giannis is a class act. Giannis is having the quietest title defender season ever. Usually, everyone acknowledges that the returning champions are heavily favored and coveted. Giannis plays to win, and it's evident that one championship isn't enough.
Funny how the Lakers get talked about more than the reigning champs. Not that I care, sometimes that makes the victories sweeter. Just like the last chip 😎
The Lakers are number 11 in the western conference, way outta the playoffs picture,, and they get talked about more than any teams that's in the playoffs contention smh
I have to give the Bucks respect man, they couldn't attract star players but they kept their promise and build a championship team for the freak and they about to win a 2nd chip I love it
Time will tell. I’m not going to get ahead and say they’ll Win a second title. This team is definitely strong and have chemistry which is in the right steps to win games.

@@cr5cc The joker is a phenomenal player, but the amount of impact Giannis has on BOTH sides of the ball, and the fact that he’s averaging 30 points with maybe 1 three pointer a game, is a scary sight. Jamal Murray obviously plays a huge role in the Nuggets success and it sucks he’s still not playing, but ultimately if you put Giannis on the Magic, they’re becoming a playoff team. I just don’t see that with the Joker
Thank you Shaq for giving Giannis his very deserved flowers even though giannis is already the best player in the world and has been for the past 3 years
If he was American it would be a different story. They don't want to give any foreign player any REAL flowers. If they go back to back and this momentum continues over the years with quality recruitment.. Giannis could pose a serious GOAT threat.

Some of the best basketball I've ever watched has been against these two teams in the last couple years. Yeah, I want to see this again in the playoffs.
Giannis is a rarity in todays competitive sports. His unwillingness to bask in boastful reverence is a testament to his character & competitive spirit. He is a standard bearer that force others to evaluate their image & contributions to the sport.
@@velofredo nice try but both his parents are Nigerian. He’s only Greek because he plays in the nba, if he was still cleaning windshields in Athens he would be Nigerian.
Guys, Giannis is going to win that scoring title + DPOY + MVP if he keeps it up with great performances these last few games. His PPG is at 30.1, Embiid at 30.
30.11 lebron at 30.12 imagine if bucks end up 1st seed giannis gets the scoring title dpoy championship fmvp and those stupid voters that "watch basketball" don't vite him for mvp. Biggest robbery ever.
@@jm_cbr_km I’m a huge Jokic fan and think what he’s doing for Denver is special, but man Giannis is making it hard to vote against him. I think both are ahead of Embiid personally but Giannis edges Jokic for MVP purely because he might win DPOY too. The guy is a genuine cheat code
@@jm_cbr_km yeah his defense really puts him on top but it gets ignored probably because there are a lot of casual fans. I got Giannis, Jokic and Embiid in that order with Luka and Booker at 4th and 5th
@@MM-jc7uv Also for the Embiid case. The media created all that ben Simmons drama and now they are saying " look how unstable were the sixers and embiid curried them to the top of the confrence". That's completely incorrect because anyone with common sense knew that Simmons wasn't going to come back to the sixers. With the same logic lebron should had won in 2018 but didn't happen. Why should be any difference this time.
Milwaukee got the dog sh*t beat outta them last week against my Grizz. They shut Giannis down. The recipe of success against him is double like there's no tomorrow and demand the others to step up and beat you. I think Jrue is the x-factor for them this year because the competition ESPECIALLY in the EAST is more formidable.
@@OFFICIALARTBOI My friend, no disresepct to your Grizzlies, but the Bucks would take care of them in 5 or 6 in a Playoff Series. They aren't there yet
@@SpartanLeonidas1821 no disrespect to you either but that assessment is too copy n paste. I dont comprehend the "they're not there yet argument." I need receipts. If playoff wins is your answer that will come THIS post season. I would like to see Mikwaukee play Memphis because I don't see them outscoring us in a 7 game series because we have assests at every position that offset what Milwaukee can do. Be that as it may, we have to go through Suns and Golden State (potentially) to even reach the realm of a finals possibility. See how articulate my reply is? I'm not one of these halfway born yesterday Griz fans that come around because of Ja. I can't stand bandwagoners.
Every single time DWade wants to convince us that embiid is the Mvp. Man come on for once appreciate Giannis. Put giannis in Philly or Denver and the would have a better record. Respect to shaq for always been fair.
@@kalinwang1 why would they? jokic leads the league in every advanced metric. he has the highest PER in history. he plays basically alone. i dont see how giannis could improve that substantially. he may do a similarly good job but to say he would have them at a better record is just first of all hypothetical and second of all probably just not true. absurd statement tbh, since you can not base that on anything.
@@peterpan3022 Giannis leads the league in 4th quarter points and second half points. Not garbage time points like Jokic. Also, defense is half the game. So Giannis is better on both ends of the floor. Denver improves on both ends of the floor. You look under a rock for an advanced stat to justify Jokic and ignore nor all the ones that expose him (he is not good enough). Jason Kidd came to a team that was last place the year before. Kidd replaced Marbury. Both were considered the best pgs. Then Jason Kidd took that nets team to the 1st seed and back-to-back to the nba finals. Jokic has no excuse for being 6th seed. Jokic is just not good enough. Giannis was the only all-star on his team when he won a championship. The next year people view his teammates as great players (truth os Giannis carried them). If Jokic carried his team to the 1st seed or a championship. His teammates would be considered great players as well. Jokic team sucks because they don't win, guess what? Jokic is the leader and conner stone of that team. Replace him with Giannis and it would be the same turn around that Giannis did for the Bucks as an organization.
Giannis continues to show that he is better than kd, giannis is a play maker and continues to play ferociously while kd is continues to solely be a great scorer. I'll take the play maker that can get to the basket with an edge and an intensity that no other player can match.
Giannis isn't as advertised as Jordan nor Lebron, but the dude has been tearing the league up for the past few years. Sadly, only a few people appreciate how great he is and how much greater he will be.
@@stergiosserres6680 he has a chance and for me to say that, that is saying a lot....Kobe's whole 20 years I argued he couldn't hold a candle to Jordan....LeBron's first 8 in the league I thought he had a chance now I know he's #7.....with Gianni's athleticism and his defensive ability . If he can regularly hit free throws maybe 75% and if he gets close to a 40% 3 point shooter than yeah he totally has a shot. Get some more rings and MVPs and there might be a REAL debate of who's better MJ or Gianni's no more of the LeBron BS!!!!
@@jerodtabb311 Lebron is GREAT but he doesn't deserve to be debated as the GREATEST he is #7 behind Jordan, Magic, Russell, Kareem, Wilt and Shaq the real debate is Lebron or Bird I believe Lebron has had the better career but if I we're building a team I would take Bird over Lebron without hesitation
That is what happens when there is no offensive sets run. Nash has always done this thing where he just like okay kd and Kyrie take the ball and make something happen instead of making a play to win the game.
He's been the best player for the last couple years. I love jokic and he def deserves his mvp(s), but I'd still rather have giannis on my team because he's so elite on defense as well and his positional versatility is unmatched.
@4:11 "I was just trying to be agressive... Make good decisions." He's different now, mentally and on how he approaches the game. If it were someone older and possibly playing for the lakers he would say "I was just trying to make the right play.. Help the team win."
Will be? Giannis cemented himself as the best after that Chip, always had the stats, the dominance, the defense, the chip solidified all of that. 1. Giannis 2. KD 3. Joked 4. Embiid 5. Luka My top 5 in the league right now
@@davidengvall3902 thank you I just want to emphasize though that there should be a gap between Giannis and KD with the rest of the players. Just because I have Joker, Embiid and Luka at the next 3 spots doesn’t mean they’re close to touching those two boys at the top.
Giannis Doesn't get the love because he drives n dunk alot ! I Respect him 4 always improving working on his game ! I want 2 c a World team vs usa right now !
@@bapexcarti3 cries for fouls? He literally gets fouled all the time since he just “runs and dunks.” When most your points come in the paints you get fouled because the defense are trying to stop you
Giannis and the Bucks play old school defensive minded team oriented basketball and that’s why it’s going to translate to consistent success in the postseason. Their culture is amazing
Its like a chip off the old block - Spurs. It makes sense to see this type of culture since Mike Budenholzer was an assistant coach behind Greg Popovich. Hope the Bucks can maintain this success.
Damn - to me Giannis already is the best in the world. Last year cemented it for me. 2 MVP’s, Finals MVP, DPOY, & potentially a scoring title this season? What more could he do lol
Potential dpoy potential scoring champ potential mvp potential no 1 seed potential back to back finals THIS MAN HAS BEEN ON A TEAR SINCE THE PLAYOFFS LAST YR HE IS SOMETHING SERIOUS AND THE LEAGUE MAY BE BROKEN FRM HIM THEREs no game plan for him‼️‼️‼️
Just wanna say, Jamal Crawford has been great this week. Don’t want to think about Chuck’s departure too much, but I think JC should be in consideration to take his spot. So good!
This makes him and the Bucks exciting! Taking on challenges and achieving success and still getting better. If he becomes the face of the league he will be a great representation. A joy to watch!
Honestly Giannis has been the best player for a minute now. I know everyone mentions KD and lebron still but Gianni’s is unstoppable and has improved every year. Can actually knock shots down and has improved at the line and 3 point. Dude is a winner and last night was the clutch performance to solidify his spot at the top
shout out to bruce brown that was a mature response, it was bad foul, but props for being professional. Giannis is INSANE, for people like JJ Reddick to say he isnt top 3 is flat out disrespectful
Somehow giannis and the bucks are still underrated and dont get mentioned enough. This team is special and giannis is easily the best player in the world right now. Current champs and i think theyll go back2back if they stay healthy. Love the greek freak
giannis exemplifies everything good abt a franchise player and has a true WINNER'S MENTALITY not thinking abt his numbers and legacy all the time, WIN as many as you can and everything will take care of itself, his life story should be the one celebrated because of it we see a winner before us who's giving it his all despite skill based limitations on some facets
If Gianni's goes to train with Hakeem and maybe get coaching from Jordan.. I believe he has a shot at three peating if he stays healthy and develop his team even further
02:57 KD could've passed up that last shot with 2.1 seconds on the clock a free man under the basket. I love KD and I know, everyone wants to see the big stars taking those shots. Fire a rocket to Dragic and win the game, would be the smarter play.
i remember posting here 1+ years ago somewhere that Giannis if he plays offense the way he did at that time, will be traded to the Shanghai Sharks....but the guy totally changed, adjusted his game since in a very short time.....just wow. and i think his posse around him w his brothers etc are the reason too from afar. they worked double overtime fo sho....i see yall...respect
Love the fact that Shaq always gives Giannis props. It warms my heart. Especially when Shaq normally is very reserved when giving credit.
i think it’s because he genuinely sees Giannis giving it his all every day and night. His tenacity is something admirable and can’t be denied 💯

Some of the best basketball I've ever watched has been against these two teams in the last couple years. Yeah, I want to see this again in the playoffs.
Giannis IS the best in the league rn, easily. He's earned that title 👏
Giannis is the best player enough is enough to give him his props.
Greek "wants all da smoke" Freak
plz stfu best players don't just throw there body around the paint beggn for calls
Luka and Jokic enters the chat.
Giannis is a rarity in todays competitive sports. His unwillingness to bask in boastful reverence is a testament to his character & competitive spirit. He is a standard bearer that force others to evaluate their image & contributions to the sport.
He already is, people just don’t support him as much as they should because he’s European
I don’t think that’s it because embiid and Jokic have been getting all the attention for MVP and neither of them are American.
@@dp2120 yeah it’s just because he has been dominating longer then them and the media wants new faces
He’s actually African but your point still stands.
@@LeChina no, he is born in Greece
@@velofredo nice try but both his parents are Nigerian. He’s only Greek because he plays in the nba, if he was still cleaning windshields in Athens he would be Nigerian.
Hell yeah they talking about some real hoops now
He was 18 on the top 75 list
Exactly lol
And that's THE NBA'S list
At 26. Insanity!!!
Guys, Giannis is going to win that scoring title + DPOY + MVP if he keeps it up with great performances these last few games. His PPG is at 30.1, Embiid at 30.
30.11 lebron at 30.12 imagine if bucks end up 1st seed giannis gets the scoring title dpoy championship fmvp and those stupid voters that "watch basketball" don't vite him for mvp. Biggest robbery ever.
@@jm_cbr_km I’m a huge Jokic fan and think what he’s doing for Denver is special, but man Giannis is making it hard to vote against him. I think both are ahead of Embiid personally but Giannis edges Jokic for MVP purely because he might win DPOY too. The guy is a genuine cheat code
@@MM-jc7uv if giannis wasn't a dpoy caliber defender jokic would have already won the mvp.
@@jm_cbr_km yeah his defense really puts him on top but it gets ignored probably because there are a lot of casual fans. I got Giannis, Jokic and Embiid in that order with Luka and Booker at 4th and 5th
@@MM-jc7uv Also for the Embiid case. The media created all that ben Simmons drama and now they are saying " look how unstable were the sixers and embiid curried them to the top of the confrence". That's completely incorrect because anyone with common sense knew that Simmons wasn't going to come back to the sixers. With the same logic lebron should had won in 2018 but didn't happen. Why should be any difference this time.
The bucks are winning a second championship watch people saying the grizzlies and the suns 😂
💯 bucks win it all again
Milwaukee got the dog sh*t beat outta them last week against my Grizz. They shut Giannis down. The recipe of success against him is double like there's no tomorrow and demand the others to step up and beat you. I think Jrue is the x-factor for them this year because the competition ESPECIALLY in the EAST is more formidable.
@@OFFICIALARTBOI My friend, no disresepct to your Grizzlies, but the Bucks would take care of them in 5 or 6 in a Playoff Series. They aren't there yet
@@OFFICIALARTBOI Jrue wasn’t playing in that game and Memphis always gets a confidence boost without Ja. Their record without Ja is insane
@@SpartanLeonidas1821 no disrespect to you either but that assessment is too copy n paste. I dont comprehend the "they're not there yet argument." I need receipts. If playoff wins is your answer that will come THIS post season. I would like to see Mikwaukee play Memphis because I don't see them outscoring us in a 7 game series because we have assests at every position that offset what Milwaukee can do. Be that as it may, we have to go through Suns and Golden State (potentially) to even reach the realm of a finals possibility. See how articulate my reply is? I'm not one of these halfway born yesterday Griz fans that come around because of Ja. I can't stand bandwagoners.
Every single time DWade wants to convince us that embiid is the Mvp. Man come on for once appreciate Giannis. Put giannis in Philly or Denver and the would have a better record. Respect to shaq for always been fair.
no fuk him and the refs
denver would not have a better record with giannis, thats some serious disrespect to jokic
@@peterpan3022 Denver certainly would have a better record. Giannis is the better player on both ends.
@@kalinwang1 why would they? jokic leads the league in every advanced metric. he has the highest PER in history. he plays basically alone. i dont see how giannis could improve that substantially. he may do a similarly good job but to say he would have them at a better record is just first of all hypothetical and second of all probably just not true. absurd statement tbh, since you can not base that on anything.
@@peterpan3022 Giannis leads the league in 4th quarter points and second half points. Not garbage time points like Jokic. Also, defense is half the game. So Giannis is better on both ends of the floor. Denver improves on both ends of the floor. You look under a rock for an advanced stat to justify Jokic and ignore nor all the ones that expose him (he is not good enough). Jason Kidd came to a team that was last place the year before. Kidd replaced Marbury. Both were considered the best pgs. Then Jason Kidd took that nets team to the 1st seed and back-to-back to the nba finals. Jokic has no excuse for being 6th seed. Jokic is just not good enough. Giannis was the only all-star on his team when he won a championship. The next year people view his teammates as great players (truth os Giannis carried them). If Jokic carried his team to the 1st seed or a championship. His teammates would be considered great players as well. Jokic team sucks because they don't win, guess what? Jokic is the leader and conner stone of that team. Replace him with Giannis and it would be the same turn around that Giannis did for the Bucks as an organization.
Giannis continues to show that he is better than kd, giannis is a play maker and continues to play ferociously while kd is continues to solely be a great scorer. I'll take the play maker that can get to the basket with an edge and an intensity that no other player can match.
Giannis is as dominant on both sides as MJ was, you can't prove me wrong.
@@ferchango6359 For his ERA...ABSOLUTELY!
@@ferchango6359 the 2nd coming of black jesus in a different position.🤟🏽
plz stfu he literally had more free throws than the nets combined sad not better at all meanwhile kd had 1 the entire game
Giannis isn't as advertised as Jordan nor Lebron, but the dude has been tearing the league up for the past few years. Sadly, only a few people appreciate how great he is and how much greater he will be.
Can’t wait to the playoffs 😁KD vs Giannis playoff series is needed
if nets healthy and refs want to be fair nets win
giannis is (again) everywhere. he wins games by him self all year. he is the king now.
U FORGOT 1 THING REFS ARE ON HIS SIDE
If Gianni's can shoot 3s and his free throws....He has an ABSOLUTE chance to be the GREATEST player to EVER play the game
He will be the G.O.A.T by the time he retires.
@@stergiosserres6680 he has a chance and for me to say that, that is saying a lot....Kobe's whole 20 years I argued he couldn't hold a candle to Jordan....LeBron's first 8 in the league I thought he had a chance now I know he's #7.....with Gianni's athleticism and his defensive ability . If he can regularly hit free throws maybe 75% and if he gets close to a 40% 3 point shooter than yeah he totally has a shot. Get some more rings and MVPs and there might be a REAL debate of who's better MJ or Gianni's no more of the LeBron BS!!!!
@@scottgollahon3681 love the way u think 💯 but love it or hate it LeBron will b In every conversation basketball 💯💪 🤞🏼💯💪
@@jerodtabb311 Lebron is GREAT but he doesn't deserve to be debated as the GREATEST he is #7 behind Jordan, Magic, Russell, Kareem, Wilt and Shaq the real debate is Lebron or Bird I believe Lebron has had the better career but if I we're building a team I would take Bird over Lebron without hesitation
@@scottgollahon3681 great list actually 💯 but I'm taking Bron over bird tho 💯💪🤞🏼💯 and the decision was very tough
As a Celtics fan, I called the Bucks to win it all last year. This year, I call back-to-back.
Giannis is a man in a mission improving every year. He will be the face of the NBA
KD should have passed to Dragic with 2.2 left in OT as seen here at 3:02. All they needed was a bucket and he was wide open.
That is what happens when there is no offensive sets run. Nash has always done this thing where he just like okay kd and Kyrie take the ball and make something happen instead of making a play to win the game.
Dwades bald fade blend on the sides is clean as hell. Barber on point
Thanks Big Shaq......... Giannis been a dominating NBA player and MVP will be discussed sooner than expected.
shaq loving giannis is so great lol
"i saw something you earthlings should be worried about" lmfao
He's been the best player for the last couple years. I love jokic and he def deserves his mvp(s), but I'd still rather have giannis on my team because he's so elite on defense as well and his positional versatility is unmatched.
i think jokic is the best now
@4:11 "I was just trying to be agressive... Make good decisions." He's different now, mentally and on how he approaches the game. If it were someone older and possibly playing for the lakers he would say "I was just trying to make the right play.. Help the team win."
Shaq said it's a couple guys ahead of him smh I dont get it he is the best player in game period
Silly right! Giannis BEEN the Best!
Shaq means in the history
Stay humble, stay hungry. That's true spirit right here bro
Will be?
Giannis cemented himself as the best after that Chip, always had the stats, the dominance, the defense, the chip solidified all of that.
1. Giannis
2. KD
3. Joked
4. Embiid
5. Luka
My top 5 in the league right now
INJURED KYRIE DOESN'T COUNT
Thats a very solid list!
@@davidengvall3902 thank you I just want to emphasize though that there should be a gap between Giannis and KD with the rest of the players.
Just because I have Joker, Embiid and Luka at the next 3 spots doesn’t mean they’re close to touching those two boys at the top.
@@CalsVlogs once again you are right sir 💪💪
Giannis is why I am back watching basketball...
Giannis Doesn't get the love because he drives n dunk alot ! I Respect him 4 always improving working on his game ! I want 2 c a World team vs usa right now !
that and he cries for fouls refs literally give him a foul every possession but kd took 22 shots and got fouled once gtfoh
@@bapexcarti3 cries for fouls? He literally gets fouled all the time since he just “runs and dunks.” When most your points come in the paints you get fouled because the defense are trying to stop you
Giannis and the Bucks play old school defensive minded team oriented basketball and that’s why it’s going to translate to consistent success in the postseason. Their culture is amazing
Its like a chip off the old block - Spurs. It makes sense to see this type of culture since Mike Budenholzer was an assistant coach behind Greg Popovich. Hope the Bucks can maintain this success.
Will be??? I thought it was between him and KD already, and honestly he was the best player in the league last year without a doubt
2:56 Glad to hear Shaq praising Nash
Damn - to me Giannis already is the best in the world. Last year cemented it for me. 2 MVP’s, Finals MVP, DPOY, & potentially a scoring title this season? What more could he do lol
Potential dpoy potential scoring champ potential mvp potential no 1 seed potential back to back finals THIS MAN HAS BEEN ON A TEAR SINCE THE PLAYOFFS LAST YR HE IS SOMETHING SERIOUS AND THE LEAGUE MAY BE BROKEN FRM HIM THEREs no game plan for him‼️‼️‼️
I would love to see these two teams in the playoffs
Giannis could be the MVP, DPOY, and win the Scoring Title this season
It’s weird not seeing Ernie Johnson chuck and Kenny next to shaq lol
Stay Humble, Stay Hungry.
SHSH.
Giannis is the real MVP.
He looks exhausted . That man gives his all every game🔥
Who tf are these couple names above him ?
Overall as a Player? NOBODY, but right now only Jokic.
@@ferchango6359 no one is, period!
@@ferchango6359 NOBODY
Giannis on his way for his 2nd chip. Absolute monster
Even as a nets fan as soon as they went to OT I knew bucs was gonna win it that team is just LOCKED in!
Just wanna say, Jamal Crawford has been great this week. Don’t want to think about Chuck’s departure too much, but I think JC should be in consideration to take his spot. So good!
Right now, Giannis got that MJ/KOBE Mentality. And his mid range is getting more efficient. Best player in the game.
This makes him and the Bucks exciting! Taking on challenges and achieving success and still getting better. If he becomes the face of the league he will be a great representation. A joy to watch!
Honestly Giannis has been the best player for a minute now. I know everyone mentions KD and lebron still but Gianni’s is unstoppable and has improved every year. Can actually knock shots down and has improved at the line and 3 point. Dude is a winner and last night was the clutch performance to solidify his spot at the top
kd shouldve passed it to dragic on the last play for the easy layup
FACTS! 💯
shout out to bruce brown that was a mature response, it was bad foul, but props for being professional. Giannis is INSANE, for people like JJ Reddick to say he isnt top 3 is flat out disrespectful
he's not stfu he's a free throw merchant like embiid soft ass and refs cater to him
Will be!? He’s no doubt the best player in the league right now
Somehow giannis and the bucks are still underrated and dont get mentioned enough. This team is special and giannis is easily the best player in the world right now. Current champs and i think theyll go back2back if they stay healthy. Love the greek freak

giannis exemplifies everything good abt a franchise player and has a true WINNER'S MENTALITY not thinking abt his numbers and legacy all the time, WIN as many as you can and everything will take care of itself, his life story should be the one celebrated because of it we see a winner before us who's giving it his all despite skill based limitations on some facets
Giannis has been the best player for 2 years now lol. Ya'll keep saying KD but you forget there's a part of the game called DEFENSE.
SO ITS HIS FAULT HE'S NOT 7 FT AND BULKY FOH
KD guards every position on the floor stop the nonsense or did u not watch last night game and see him guard every player the Bucks got
@@bapexcarti3 you are here spreading hate for giannis pathetic lmao
@@bapexcarti3 tim duncan was not as bulky as giannis,but was an amazing defender And also kd is the same height as giannis 🤡
If Gianni's goes to train with Hakeem and maybe get coaching from Jordan.. I believe he has a shot at three peating if he stays healthy and develop his team even further

02:57 KD could've passed up that last shot with 2.1 seconds on the clock a free man under the basket. I love KD and I know, everyone wants to see the big stars taking those shots. Fire a rocket to Dragic and win the game, would be the smarter play.

At this point he should just join them💀
Dame needs to leave ngl, that guy is too good of a person for his own good.

This is just undeniable dude is on his way to being one of the best all time if he keeps improving
The freak is the MVP !
i remember posting here 1+ years ago somewhere that Giannis if he plays offense the way he did at that time, will be traded to the Shanghai Sharks....but the guy totally changed, adjusted his game since in a very short time.....just wow. and i think his posse around him w his brothers etc are the reason too from afar. they worked double overtime fo sho....i see yall...respect
Bucks are not scared of the nets, we can take them down in the 1st round lol
