Giannis has worked on everything they said he couldn’t do, and It’s crazy how older guys think the nba was just unplayable and new guys couldn’t serve back then🤦🏽♂️
Giannis is a cheater bruh he ain’t work for shit
NBA players back then are on average worse than current NBA players. Idk why old heads always think that in their times people were defensive gods. Defensive schemes today are way better than they used to be as well.
nba players are literally more skilled than ever, i dont think defenders in the 90s could guard a Luka or Giannis, especially given how much more floor spacing there is now
Y’all do Know there talking about a League With “ Hand Checking” and When the PF and C defended the hoop and weren’t Shooters🤦🏾♂️ If A Defender Can Barely touch u without a foul Call That Can Turn a 15ppg Scorer to a 27 Pg scorer. Rodman was Right Lebron has No Real Moves to get a shot off, He just knows how to use his Body( that’s why he struggles against a Kawhi, Iggy bc He Couldn’t They we’re good defenders but he (COULDNT BULLY THEM) they were Just as Physical as Him… Look at Kawhi defense in 2014 (Not Highlights the GAME)
@@Azariah-Israel Struggles you mean averages like 27+? okay
The hate old generations have for today's generation is quite unwarranted, especially for players like Giannis. Thank you for this video.
Giannis is overrated Oakley telling the truth
It's just what they do. Fans are guilty of it too. All they talk about is how tough the defense was back then and how weak it is now. They never want to talk about how superior today's offense is compared to back in the day. 💀

I hope we're right with Giannis and he stays healthy for his career. I'm so hyped to see him dominate and shut up mouths every year, dude works hard asf every year and I want to see him succeed and create his own legacy, be himself, not a comparison of anyone
HE HASN'T STAYED HEALTHY FOR HIS CAREER in thus far & some games he's been in not @100% & they've had a Post Season
which is a TESTAMENT TO HOW MUCH HE TRAINS & how respected by old-but-significant -while-still-playing players such as M.J. Pippen & Kareem & Hakeem & Oscar R & K Malone & R Parish & Julius Erving & Wilt
who were ALL such players in that aspect.

When Rasheed Wallace said LeBron wouldn't succeed in his era when he LITERALLY PLAYED in that era cracks me up. Even back in the day LeBron would have been dominant. He's the size of Karl Malone with a better offensive skill set. Same with Giannis man is literally a genetic freak
LeBron and Giannis with “illegal defense rules” would be *illegal* in the 90s.
Oh and they’re allowed to be more physical themselves?
Lord have mercy.

Flopping may be cheap but it’s nothing new. You do whatever it takes to gain some advantage.
@@Terror832 I’ve came across people that genuinely believe that LeBron isn’t a top 10 player. Someone told me that LeBron isn’t the GOAt because of his political view. The conversation is about basketball 😂🤨. Another told me that LeBron is 16th greatest, and didn’t want to explain why though.
@@Sley_5281 I’ve come across a lot of dumb oldheads and their stupid views on LeBron
Like this one oldhead last year told me “If we’re gonna call LeBron one of the greatest athletes in NBA history then we have to put Larry Nance Sr in the discussion”.
Like dude really. Larry Nance Sr can definitely leap but hes definitely not 250+ lbs nor is he as fast as LeBron. I mean there’s very very few players that have that super rare combo of size, speed, strength, vertical and body control like LeBron has. His first stint with the Cavs should more than justify his supreme athleticism.
When your argument is "we would beat Giannis by playing dirty..." come on oak lmao. Giannis can destroy yall with skill alone, he doesn't need to be childish and get overly physical.
U missed his Point🤦🏾♂️ He Means in that Era When “Hand Checking” Was Allowed and When the PF and C Stayed in the Lane and protected the Paint…

@@Azariah-Israel
Hand checking is NOT defense.
@@jbthestoner5504 like they won’t jacked back then either 🤣but giannis stil gonna get his buckets tho
I've been saying this for 2 years now. Giannis story and criticism are almost identical to what LeBron went through. what is even more crazy is in 2013 fans were saying LeBron couldn't be the best because his post game wasn't as polished as Kobe's disregarding the production LeBron consistently put up with a "limited skillet". Kobe was on a struggling Lakers now flash forward LeBron is in the same boat as Kobe was, and his fans are saying Giannis can't be the best because he doesn't have a polished outside game. now i understand what my uncle was saying , the league is just one long cycle that each generation is to blind to see they are apart of. in 10 years there will be a 7'2 demigod, who Giannis fans will say can't be the best because he doesn't have (insert skill that Giannis has mastered) yet. And the 7'2 demigod will have fans saying that doesn't matter because his production is equal to or greater than that of Giannis.
The SAME TYPE OF guys hated Kobè & M.J. &
POSSIBLY
Rasheed too!
Thats what they said about Jordan too comparing him to Magic it happens every generation man
That cycle applies to almost every aspect of life it’s crazy. Those 10 years turn people into haters for the next gen in everything
This man right here is aware of the matrix.
Chet Holmgren???
It's crazy how players from the 90s think that a player would play the same way in every era. They say "we would've pushed him if he tried to euro step" as if Giannis couldn't run right through him if he wanted to
Nobody from that era can match up with Giannis except maybe Hakeem.
Its actually funny cause they barely used zone defense

I feel like even though you can say that Giannis has less skill compared to other players like Kyrie or Harden, i've never understood why that's something to bash a player for 'cause at the end of the day even with less skill Giannis led his team to a championship as the definitive focal point which other players with more skill haven't been able to do.
Giannis plays to his strengths, for some reason that is a bad thing for some people
Well said
Well that’s why he apologized for making that video a while ago, because at the time Giannis was unproven in the playoffs, but now that he has won, that criticism is very unwarranted
@@JimmyHooves I'm not nessesarily talking about what swishout had previously said because it's understandable that at the time Giannis' playoff performances could be critiqued, but I'm questioning how the skill of a player (mainly in scoring) matters so much because just scoring can't win a ring. Draymond Green isn't offensively talented but he was integral to the warriors dynasty
I'll never understand clowning someone who is clearly better because they can't do what someone else does
Like lebron he wasnt bad he just wasn't elite but he can shoot if he wants but he'll play to his strength which is in the paint
We need to expose the 80s. These old heads taking too spicy
Also you gotta stop equating usage to ball handling. They aren't the same thing. Being high usage doesn't mean you're ball dominant.
@@MineShackle Someone needs to make a video "The myth about the mighty 90s defenses and why NBA today is at its best".
This old heads are corny dawg , im a lebron fan but there's no doubt giannis is a great player and he definitely would dominate back in the day
Let’s look at some notable *starting power forwards* from the 1996-97 season and ask yourself would you start these guys over Giannis?

@@cwebed-stuy9951 He's won two MVP's and a Championship
Giannis is closer to Lebron's playstyle then anyone else. Absolutely dominant transition scorer and for some reason transition scorers just tend to get disrespected more because it's kind of a boring playstyle in comparison to the basketball the Jokic, Kawhi, Curry and KD tend to run with.
Actually I believe that Jokic has a similar playstyle to LeBron now and eventually Giannis will adopt it too. Passing out from the post and scoring off of screens is what I mean by that.
Bro jokic is also boring, he is amazing, but nothing he does is flashy
@@zesantos2081 dude is one of the most creative post players out there since he can’t rely on pure athleticism and physical gifts. You would think that a big ole guy like Jokic would just purely use his mass and back down people old fashioned but he has insane fades, hooks and floaters and shit
Idk why People think Giannis' game is boring....I find it the most exciting! Him dunking over three Nets Players the other day was 🔥
@@SpartanLeonidas1821 cause he's tall Giannis is basically 7'0 Morant in transition which some people find less impressive
The only difference between giannis and bron is that bron was so good early on as for giannis he had to mature to that level
But that also speaks of Giannis greatness. No other player in NBA history started out bad and ended up great like Giannis. Only Kobe started out pretty bad in his 1st year but than matured so quickly.
I do wonder what Giannis could have been if he started earlier, had better coaching/competition, and probably better nutrition.
I assume since his family were struggling immigrants and the kids were selling DVDs and such on the street that they didn't have enough food all the time.

Rob in 2012 I think by Marc gasol and then Marc gasol was in second teams all defensive and bron 1st teams all defensive 😆. NBA media voters was on crack for that.
There was a player who averaged 27.4 on 48.5% along with 7 assists, 5 boards, 2 steals, 1 block over the same 5 year span as LeBron, yet wasn't included 06:37...
He's called Dwyane Wade, maybe you've heard of him...
People always say Giannis isn't skilled despite being one of the most skillful defensive players of all time. Defense is never appreciated and its very fitting that James Harden of all people overlook this.
James harden is a bum, a bit hard coz i know he is a great player but in my eyes he is the same type of player like westbrook, carmelo, damian lillard, maybe steph and maybe davis, just overrated (not bad! Just not as good) those are more second option players in my eyes while players like KD, LBJ, GA, maybe embiid and maybe jokic are the real superstars

@@beli722 Steph has literally changed the game. He's not overrated
Absolutely spot on!
Last year, I was flabbergasted to see how people handled, appreciated and assessed Giannis' Finals performance.
It was absolutely legendary, historically great, yet its perception indicated that people were not so much in awe about it.
(For the record, he had the highest Game Score (31.9) for an entire Finals series, beating O'Neal's 2000 performance (30.6) which most people consider one of the most dominant ever)
He's so unique and unorthodox that people can't handle his greatness, they can't put him in any box, so they find all kinds of ways to discredit him.
If he were to go 7-0 in the Finals in his career, all with the Bucks, 7 FMVPs, he would still not be as popular and as appreciated as Jordan, Kobe or Lebron. The marketing behind him is not as strong and his game/brand doesn't resonate with people the way Jordan's, Kobe's or Lebron's did.
Have to wait until the game gets more globalized. Americans will always think that and American player is the goat, like for me personally I bet in terms of talent Hakeem is top 3 but most don't put him up there.

Kareem and Shaq said they'd play like Giannis if they played today. Shaq has been a big supporter since like 2018. Shaq also just proudly described his son as "Giannis with a jump shot".
MJ has Giannis as this years MVP.
Pippen - a top wing defender of his time - has said there would be nothing he could have done to slow Giannis.
Oakley has a book, wants to be remembered as a tough guy. McGrady is a scorer who didn't do much else and is pretty much a trivia question.
@@recoil53 Yup, MJ fucks with Luka heavy too.
cuz the post men were really skilled back in the day. these guys would have to give up the ball to the big men. the little guys would never have the numbers, never have a chance to get hot, and would be killed on defense. these days post men aint shit all they do is set screens. they're more skilled than ever but all they do is set screens. and there's no illegal defense. the nba literally changed the rules to kill big men. if there was still illegal defense we might not know who steph curry is.
"The Bag" itself is overrated at this point.
A generational, applicable physical/athletic "Bag" or package > the highest skills bag more often than not.
I don’t necessarily have a lot of good moves in my “bag” but I’ve gotten really good at step backs, side steps, and hesi moves and I’m still able to score at a good clip. The “bag” is pretty overrated
It would be insane to see SwishOUT do a podcast episode with an NBA player one day.
In short. Excellent analysis Swish. I like that you compared the uniqueness of Giannis to Lebron and how it's strictly based on the skill set of the zeitgeist.
It took me a while too to acknowledge this dude was more than a dunker with space in the paint( although there's not much space). He's a unique superstar, a superstar without the guard like bag
New to the NBA, new to the basketball overall, and I freakin' love Giannis. Story about underapreciated player in underdog team is always good!

First vid I ever watched of yours I’ve never subbed so fast straight facts finally we dismiss what we can’t box and understand
The worst moment of may day is when I have to see the outro in a fresh swishout video. Man I love your content. Much love brother.
I really dislike the fact that old heads “key argument” to basketball is how physical they were back in the day. Praising how they use to literal fight the player to the basket. If You can’t guard the player so you have to tackle them doesn’t make you a better defender, if you can’t guard them without fouling then you’re not good defender in my opinion.
Three of those critics were power forwards - Oakley, Rodman, and Rasheed Wallace.
Wallace was actually pretty skilled when he wanted to be. But back then, most power forwards were too small to be a center and too slow & unskilled to be a small forward.
There were a few star power forwards, some decent ones, and guys hanging on to their job.
Stars - Karl Malone, pre-fat Shawn Kemp, Charles Barkley.
Truth is those 90's Knicks teams were just a team of enforcers because they couldn't win on talent.
I remember a lbj, mj comparison video and there was stated that back then 3points were scored less in a average game then today, this whole ,,90, 80 basketball had better defense'' argument is BS
All I have to say is this: there's a reason most great coaches were not great players. Knowing how to play individually doesn't mean you know something about the game as a whole. That's why these old heads have the shittiest takes you've ever seen, they don't actually know that much about the game outside of what they had to do individually
True. It’s so rare for an elite former player to be an all time great coach/GM/owner whatever despite how many have tried their hand in it. People like West, Bird and Lenny Wilkens are exceptions rather than common occurrences.
Damn. Really good video bro. Really liked the perspective you had with this one.

Loved the vid, and I'm glad u said what I was thinking
Straight up facts bro, always interesting content, keep it rollin swish
Pretty sure old heads like Giannis. He plays like an 90's yet keep improving year per year. Giannis ''Freak Leaps'' into eurosteps is deadly.
No, you can categorize lebron like all those greats. He has the best all around game. That’s his identity. The best all around player.
I disagree with the point about Michael Jordan, his game was also extremely versatile. he was an insane mid range scorer, high flying dunker, lock down defender, team leader, he had it all. saying his signature thing is being an assassin is wrong imo
Very good vid, the analysis was on point!!
The league changes. The game evolves. Sometimes folks are still stuck in their old ways and don’t see the game evolve or are willfully ignorant of it. Giannis is gonna be the face of the league in the coming years whether folks like it or not. The trajectory he’s on, he’ll retire with his name thrown into the GOAT debate. Great vid
The Giannis situation reminds me of the Tim Duncan situation. You got a loyal, maybe boring superstar that dominates the game just as much as other guys in the goat debate, yet they don't get the same love. Duncan vs Kobe. Now it's Giannis vs KD/Lebron
I love that uzi beat you put in the background it goes so well with your voice no homo
amazing video! love it
Just like LeBron I'm sure Giannis will continue working on his game and be even greater in the future. Damn he could even develop an average 3 shot in a few years
And you know what’s crazy, Giannis could decide to not shoot anymore threes in his career and he would still dominate, I don’t mind the amount of threes players take but it has truly blinded the basketball world from what it takes to be great
Swish dropped a gem. I been saying Giannis is suffering fatigue syndrome and people think It's hate to these other great players. He's done the work and it shows. KD is my favorite player but with the injuries the last few years he can't hold that title as #1 and like you said he's in a space w that last #1
Giannis also doesn't have a pretty game. He plays bully ball but people think pretty games like Kobe or MJ are better. Same reason why guards are always favored in dunk contests.
U always come through with your videos man! And “when LeBron had me and u with him” 😂😂😂😂😂
I grew up watching this game since the 80's. And of course I love the way the league was and the way the game was played. But I'm a fan of the game. I've seen all this change a an incredible progression. The player's are more athletic, and skilled. I love that the game is position-less now. I'm a Lakers fan, so the pace and space offense is like every team is Showtime. Cutting all the unnecessary physical play has cut down the fighting, which means the games keep going. The games in a great place. And Ginnis is the king of the league right now.
One thing that makes me Giannis fans is how he work on his weakness. Look at how bad his Free Throw game last season playoff, and then he's working really hard on it and we all saw the result. Giannis is what could happened to Shaq if he put more work
Gotta say swish, this was your best take of all time imo
I think giannis would be incredible in any era, but I think this era is very beneficial for him. I believe he would kind of struggle in other eras without much fooor spacing. But I also feel as if great players can adjust to any era
6:14 “Stevie Wonder to this play” 💀
Giannis lost the goat case the moment he was born outside of the US.. Bron at least gets treated as a legit case and is given the benefit of the doubt. Giannis will never be the face of the league, NBA would make a rookie Zion the face of the league before acknowledging a foreigner.
Sad but true smh
Swish dropping some preach here!
Awesome take man, kudos
Loyalty and dominance... Reminds me of MJ in the 90's.
I will never criticize Giannis ever again after the show he put on in the nba finals
I love how swish still has You Was Right playing in the background
Bro. Giannis builds in 2k are the most fun I've had since I started them in '19. Super effective too with the right team around you
Harden was really feeling himself when he said that lmao
These older guys who played in the 90's n 80's wouldn't last in today's game. Too slow n use to standing around the paint unlike today where every position matters. One wrong move at the 3 den it's over.
SWISHOUT WITH ANOTHER needed another video.
Great analysis !
You can make some of those arguments for Jokic as well. He may be a better shooter than Giannis but he's not super athletic, he's slow and yet calling him the best player in the world shouldn't be a shocking take.
what about before 2010-2011 season when Stephen A and Skip Bayless BOTH had Lebron OUT of their Top 5 NBA players. Unreal
Thank you for this video!
So spot on. I was thinking about this a few days ago. Damn.
“And lebron had me and you with him”💀💀😂
“The Golden State Shield” had me crying 😂
Banger video man
i get hype every time i get a noti from this man
I'm glad that Giannis is getting his flowers, however, it's also time you made a video actually criticizing No. 1(3) of the Sixers.
People care too much about having an “arsenal” or a “bag”.
Right, if it work it works. Bag only has to be deep enough to win.
Shaq used to get this type of talk and then made it so his post game was so unstoppable people stopped caring. Giannis will definitely hit that point and they’ll still find a way to discredit him.
yup fuck a bag lmaoo if you win you win. shaq and wilt had absolutely no bag compared to vucevic but they are lightyerw ahead of him bruh. fuck a bag giannis the best player in the league and the second best pf all time
knew it was gonna be fire when you started talking over the J Cole beat
The BEST nba guy on YT no question always spitting facts
I'm convinced people who say Giannis has no skill havent watched him play recently or are just trolling. His midrange/post game took a quantum leap this year. He's shooting 43% on midrange jumpers. He has a variety of hook shots, one legged Dirk post fades, turnaround jumpers going left or right, and pullups. He does have a 'bag', however he has no problems just dunking it on you.
Old players can’t hold a player so they just physically assault him 😂
Great video. Solid points
When it’s all said and done I believe Giannis will take his career to the level where we put him in the convos with MJ, Kareem, Bron, as if he’s already not up there 💪🏽
Although I prefer KD in terms of a forward type player, Giannis has indeed improved a lot of his skills in recent times, and I can confirm that he is no longer just a run-to-the basket player using his height. Use the doubt of others as fuel! ask Demar DeRozan; it gives you a little more motivation, in overcoming all expectations, I can see Giannis is using this boost well.
But I don't see him win anymore titles, last year he and his team had a chance and won-only because many teams had many injuries in the 2020-2021 season.
Yes, agreed. Giannis' skillset has taken a quantum leap this year. Is midrange/post game has improved dramatically. He's shooting 43% on midrange jumpers as well.
