How Giannis Antetokounmpo dominates without a jump shot

[@joewebb6430]

Giannis is the best thing to happen to Milwaukee basketball since Kareem. He singlehandedly made this city believe in the Bucks again

Thank you, Ray Romano, for that in-depth look at what makes Giannis so great.

[@bangobuck8722]

His midrange shot has been money this season and he’s only 22 so I can defiantly imagine him being consistent from three in the fututre

[@nvrguru22]

I would like him to develop a jumper to decrease his chance of injury. Being in the mix consistently leads to wear and tear

[@creepystares9853]

My only thought when I see him play, is the contact is going to be a problem by the time he is 28. He needs to combo it up, inside/outside balance will kill.

[@dreamsanity34]

True, he'll be a Derrick Rose by the time he reaches his late twenties.

[@itsstjay5359]

Lebron plays similar to him and hes never been injured

[@nvrguru22]

itss tjay 1. LeBron occasionally shoots 3s 2. LeBron is a unique specimen

[@jon-unicorn-doxxer]

hes just long...LeBron builds like a tank and never gets injured where he needs to rest more than a month in his career...

[@kingdeedee]

That's all well and good, but he is working on and developing a jumpshot anyway. The NBA is screwed

[@TheMozk]

This is not as amazing as it sounds, he's gonna have a new problem in his mind too - balancing outside and inside game

[@kingdeedee]

TheMozk not really. He'll still probably realize what he does best. I doubt his outside shot will ever be as good as his inside game, so the outside shot will be just to free up the inside game. That's what LeBron has been doing.

[@iestyn81]

and think about when he ages and loses some athleticism, 3pt shot will do more good than bad

[@setefanopahulu7231]

Nope he will play like he does now like lebron but will find that his team can now do a whole lot more when he can shoot like with Cleveland and mami did with lebron

[@verz6993]

when he gets older he wont be able to do that

[@jacksongroat4439]

Giannis gives me hope that NBA games can become entertaining to watch again. I hope we keeps improving and stays healthy, because he's showing us things we've never seen before.

[@frankaronragilo9670]

Dude is developing a jumpshot, 1990s: Jordans era 2000: Kobes era 2010: LeBrons era 2020: Giannis era

[@2Shainzz]

Everyones saying its because he gets away with traveling, but literally everyone travels in the NBA they never call it

[@FIFA2YT]

Flippin Birdiez you are right but he is probably the most travelling player in the nba but because of his big ass legs its hard to call because refs believe him that he could do that move with two steps

[@Jrock420blam]

It's a gather step. Been around since Dr. J. Not to mention they have always given players a small pass for travels so it doesn't interrupt game flow. Been that was since at least MJ, if it's not blatant they don't usually call it.

[@MrPassivefist]

Free E Harden “travels” with every pitter-patter step-back jumper he does and he does that 7-10 times a game. I argue he probably travels the most

[@franciscopizarro5424]

Jrock420blam carrying traveling are at an all time high

[@EMETRL]

i think the biggest reason traveling doesn't really matter is because it doesn't give much of a benefit anyway. So maybe he takes half a step too much, would dribbling the ball one more time slow him down? No, so why bother calling it?

[@jesus2kool]

Great video, in love with the development of Giannis. So happy for him

[@meinardsl]

Giannis is like a really tall version of Russel Westbrook, not much you can do that doesn't automatically send them to the free throw line. NBA rules today are pretty whack. But no kid today plays defense so that's understandable.

[@RunSwimDrum]

I've been waiting for this episode since you started Prada's Pictures. Thanks Mike!

[@xwers1234]

No one can stop him, but The 2019 Champions Toronto Raptors. Played him perfectly

[@yomama3203]

Him, porzingis, and towns are the future of the NBA. Big, fast n athletic. Made to just score in or out of the paint

[@shuckl3]

This is exactly what I've been saying. How you gonna tell somebody averaging 31 they need a jumpshot

[@Jrock420blam]

They never stopped Jordan, Kobe, LeBron, Dr. J or anyone else from pushing and shoving to the rim. Can't imagine why they would stop him from playing physical ball. He certainly doesn't need a jumper but he will develop one like LeBron did and become unstoppable on every spot on the court, he's only been playing basketball for 5 years after all.

[@SheKnoJayy]

@@Jrock420blam that's a fact

[@franciscopizarro5424]

shuckl3 the reason he needs a jumper is because even though his numbers are good (even though they are inflated since his team is so bad), people sag off him and can double off of him and on his teammates ; this ruins the spacing. He dosent even need to develop a 3. Just a consistent mid range

[@aslan2709]

First of all, he's not averaging 31. Regardless, the question of whether Giannis "needs" a jumpshot all depends on how high you think he ceiling should be. If he keeps doing as he's doing, he'll get a little better through experience and be a perennial all-star, probably a perennial 1st team All-NBA. If he develops a shot however, he can likely become a perennial MVP and perennial NBA champion. It's a question about "great" vs "legendary".

[@kingmarcus014]

T simplisze the play that else was talking about 2 people screen/ pick then Giannis passes to guard and rolls to the basket (if you know basketball basics). For those who don't understand that two people stand in the way and Giannis passes and then runs and gets a pass to the basket/insise/rim and scores

[@boscfavwinn561]

Watch him last night playing against the Toronto Raptors wow he going to be A future HoF .hope he goes to the Boston Celtics mane this guy what my favorite team needs!

[@Tasos_]

well said.. Giannis is the unicorn of unicorns.

[@setefanopahulu7231]

Tasos M. No he's not he is the Greek freak not a unicorn because that's not who he is known as

[@hughisthat1336]

He's not taking "long strides" he's actually jumping between steps. His move from 0:37 to 0:41 was therefor traveling which was not called for some reason. He's not taking too many steps. If you catch the ball while dribbling, with the left foot on the ground (0:37), then when the right foot comes down (0:39), that is the pivot foot, when you lift the pivot foot off the ground (0:40), you cannot bring it down again before passing or shooting (0:41). which he does, so he is OK are far as steps are concerned. But the above rule assumes you are RUNNING (or walking) not JUMPING. When you RUN one foot is always on the ground. When you JUMP both feet are off the ground. If you JUMP then when you land neither foot can be the pivot foot. Furthermore you must land on both feet SIMULTANEOUSLY, so at 0:39 he is in violation. You can jump again after landing, but not take another step (or another jump!) before jumping again. If you let people jump like that, essentially you have what the Olympics calls a triple jump. There are people who can triple jump almost 60 feet! You'll have people stopping their dribbles at half court and dunking the ball. "A player who catches the ball while moving or dribbling may stop and establish a pivot foot as follows: When one foot is on the playing court: 1. That foot shall be the pivot foot when the other foot touches in a step; 2. The player may jump off that foot and simultaneously land on both; neither foot can then be the pivot foot."

[@daleftuprightatsoldierfield]

Hugh Isthat when you are running, there are times when both of your feet are off the ground, and longer strides means more time with both feet off the ground while running.

[@laqsedmbfetiopd8223]

You mean a pick and roll?

[@gs6827]

Laqsedmb Fetiopd I laughed so hard when he broke down the pick and roll like it's some new revolutionary play lol

[@rockman00]

Laqsedmb Fetiopd yeah dafuq is this bullshet? He was prasing the simple pick and roll as a brilliant feat of intelligence.

[@SirBreaks808]

I think he was highlighting the fact that Giannis can operate as the point guard and center in a simple pick and roll play which is pretty unreal. Also, if you watch the play over again he is guarded by the PG, SF, and C and they are ALL mismatches. That's what's crazy about running P&R with Giannis.

When you can eurostep and layup/dunk from half court you don't need a jumper. However if he develops one like LeBron did nothing will be able to stop this kid. He could be an all time great.

[@D15NEY365]

That 7’3 wingspan was recorded when a few years ago when he was 6’9 so I’d say he has at least a 7’5 wingspan now

[@keithbaka9130]

And this video was before he leaped over an entire dude just to dunk

[@BarryDonegan]

Wingspan is so deadly in basketball. People can't judge how high you actually get.

Now that Giannis and Dame are teammates the video of him dunking on the Blazers is extra ironic

[@Lumpylawyer]

He's 6 feet 11 inches and 222

[@СлободаИлиСмрт-у1б]

He is a freak of nature, one in a billion therefore he haven't revolutionized anything since he doesn't bring anything new to the table, other guys can't do what he does cause they are not as geneticaly gifted as this guy so what kind of revolution does he bring? He is just tall, athletic, fast and long guy with ability to finish around the rim, that's all, ya'll acting like he is super skilled but he ain't he is just super build for basketball. Take away his cutting ability and you get what? Just another average player, maybe even less than average considering his poor mid-range and three point shooting. Same thing with Curry, people say he "revolutionized" basketball, the guy is only popping threes and playing on a team that only shoot threes and has two more best shooters in the league, it's not like we'll have some other Curry, Thompson and Durant on one team in 10-20 years. When they go it's finished, the balance will return in NBA. People are freaking out like we never had great three point shooters before Curry. And I still can't believe how underrated LeBron James really is in today's basketball. I don't think people realize that if wins one or two more rings which is still possible that we are probably having a new GOAT.

I guess the guy talking doesn't realize athletiscm disappears. Giannis will need a jumper especially in this era of the NBA.

[@spreadex2177]

so overall he's successful because he is 7"0, has a wingspan of 7"3, very fast and leaps everywhere because his legs are as long as my body... nice...

[@qtl4754]

Just a player that reminds me of Hakeem.

[@aslan2709]

Giannis doesn't need a jump shot to be dominant and might not even need it be an MVP of the league...agreed. But Giannis certainly needs a jump shot if he cares anything about taking his game to a whole other level, one that we've never seen and one that would be completely unstoppable to the point that he could dominate the league for years winning multiple championships and even becoming potentially the GOAT. That's what we're talking about here. Is he going to be great, or is he going to be legendary. There really has never been a player who, on the one hand, can easily win the MVP this year, and on the other hand, even if he did the prevailing sentiment about him would STILL be that he hasn't even come close to reaching his full potential. That's scary.

[@jimsmithicus7415]

You misspelled his name :/

[@SirCartier423]

What’s his archetype?

[@eiichirooda664]

He has improved his mid range though

[@CashKD]

What about once he turns 32 and his athleticism starts to decline? He’s gonna wish he developed a jumper then

[@MEpurgolders]

Length is different than athleticism. He is not jumping over dudes right now, he's reaching over them.

[@Tasos_]

he can take weight and be a very good center.

[@dachelk1]

Post up post up and some more post touches is my response. The guy actually shouldn't be a ball handler or out on the wing.

[@dandrade9926]

But you know he’s gonna develop one

[@balla4lyf23]

its what makes him unique. why wouldnt he be out on the wing? he can slash and score on virtually anybody

[@thomasbrady3827]

If he develops a good uncontested jump shot he could make defenders press him and then either run around them or go over them starting beyond the arc

[@rougemont8116]

If he had a good jump shot he would be better than Durant

[@thomasbrady3827]

[@chaddy7415]

I know I’m getting detailed but he’s actually 6’11 this is the same for Ben Simmons as well these two are the future of the league but Simmons is actually working towards a jumper as well so he will be unguardable and the next lebron as lebron has said plus Ben Simmons passing he will have an answer for every play there both good but Ben has that passing skill so I think he has more to offer and Ben think he should be doing better giannis had to work to get to this level Ben did as well but he got hyped up by lebron and magic and lived up to it I think we shouldn’t just block Simmons out it will be one big rivalry

[@giannisksanthopoulos4300]

Your comment about Simmons didn't age well :D

[@jdelgado216]

Nah man, he is really good but he definitely needs a jumper. Remember what the Spurs did to Lebron early in his career? Now if he actually develops that jumper along with a polish post game that is scary

he's nothing like lebron hahah bad analogy

[@earlrainey9088]

Ok he doesn't have a jump shot effect ability to close games defense tighter by playoff time he tired body beAt down from all that contact idk if he get a shot how consistent he would be and will he still be aggressive

[@ankurmacha3422]

Giannis having a jump shot is good and all but I’m not sure how it will play into his play style mabye when he gets kinda tired from finishing to the rim he could just shoot, Or since other coaches might think he will drive Giannis will just shot messing up any plans they might have. Also big Giannis fan hail to the MVP!! 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷🔥🔥🔥

[@grigorisgiannikos4999]

*he is 6'11"*

[@localone1597]

It's never a good idea for a player not to develop a jump shot. It doesn't matter how good his physical gifts are. at some point he will not be able to do the same things physically weather due to age or injury. That's what happened to Dwight Howard when the physical gifts were gone he didn't have anything left. Always develop a jump shot and skills.
