The main thing that messed up ayton was the bucks figuring out how to defend that pick and roll and alley oop. ever since Milwaukee started figuring that out...maybe part way through game 2, it crushed paul (his turnovers went way up) and killed aytons ability to get a quiet 20+. They let Paul have the occasional corner jumper but they werent gonna let the combo of paul and ayton get rolling for easy 2's

What’s unfair is that Skip and other compare these every great players style of play, and approach to the game to how MJ played and his approach. Meaning MJ took the last shot so if you don’t then you are somehow diminished. I’m a huge MJ fan but looking it that way doesn’t allow you to appreciate the unique way that other great players play and their approach. It seems like Skip has to learn that you can still think MJ is the GOAT but still appreciate other great players without trying to diminish their performance, saying things like the defense strategy wasn’t good or the constant nitpicking.

@History Eraser Button if you didn’t watch that NBA with those rules and MJ’s career and the way he dominated offensively and defensively and mentally then I can’t convince you. It would be just a wasted effort on my part. The game was different then more physical, possibly slower but you could really play defense in those days to the point of crossing the line physically in the playoffs. and despite not being as tall as Giannis or as physically gifted as Lebron he dominated more. But again if you didn’t see it, it won’t resonate

Yeah being wrong isn't the point though, though you casual couch potatoes try to make it about that all the time.

A star player can completely turn their engine on unexpectedly, injuries can rear up at the wrong time, etc. It happens.

If Giannis starts to consistently shoot like he did in game 6 he will be the GOAT in the future. Man is 26 years old. He's just entered his prime in the past couple years. He has 5 more solid years. If he keeps up that shooting performance, he will be the GOAT. Ahead of Jordan and Lebron no doubt.
