[@JordanJapan]

Giannis has looked like the best player in the world this season (which is why I think he deserves MVP) stats aside. KD just looks like the best scorer and has not quite looked like the defender he was on GS, but that could just be a product of being on a bad defensive team. Hyped for these playoffs. East is going to be a bloodbath.

[@jona.scholt4362]

I think you can make the argument that Jokic has looked like the best player out there this year. Both Giannis and Jokic are very unique players. Nobody plays like Giannis and nobody plays like Jokic. They do certain things that are normally seen only in smaller players, like Giannis with his handles and driving ability combined with his length and height. Or Jokic with his passing; his size gives him lanes unavailable to players with guard size. But Jokic passes better than pretty much any player in the league period and on top he's 7 foot. I think either would make a good MVP, they both are above everyone else, including Embiid. If he wins over Giannis and Joker it is just because the voters want to give it to someone new.

That was reaaaally awesome, the part about shot makers was SO GOOD, i would love a long conversation about similar things, about "normal" guys that nobody notice but that actually have special skills.

I think it goes back to what Nick Wright said the other day - and I've said it too. KD never had the chance to be the best player. He's the best offensive player, but players are on for defense, rebounding, and playmaking too. Lebron was the best until he left for LA, then he had to pick and choose when to play hard on D. Then you had a group of Lebron, Steph, KD, and Kawhii if he could have stayed healthy/no be load managed. Now you have Giannis who is elite in scoring, rebounding, defense, and playmaking for a PF/C.

Hearing KD talk ball is pretty cool. It's never about himself. He doesn't self-compare with his peers, even with how good he is. He gave Lebron some shine while also addressing the up-and-coming studs of the game, Booker, Embid, Giannis. It's real recognizing real from arguably the best playing, and maybe of a generation, depending on your opinion. Mike and Mamba would straight up tell you to your face, eye contact and all, "I'm better than you and I'm going to beat you." Lebron is humble enough to not say it directly, and certainly not this year. KD don't talk trash, he just beats you, and sometimes, really badly. He doesn't say names, except the one that matters, I'm KD, "You know who I am."

KD will do anything but give Giannis credit. I think KD sees Giannis as the only threat to take over the title 'as best player in the world' when in reality.. Giannis is the best player in the world right now

[@danf4x716]

I don't think it's personal.... He just respect elite shot-makers

Great podcast

[@jomarimagtoto7003]

The biggest advantage Giannis has over KD is his built. Skill doesn't matter if an injury happens, which usually happens. KD lost at least 3 prime years due to injuries. Giannis will have the longevity like lebron and now that he's learning to shoot, he'll be in the goat conversation. He's the most accomplished 26 year old NBA player ever.

[@Messigoat1033]

Kd didn’t respect Giannises game at first and lowkey get offended when people compare him to Giannis until Giannis came to his house and sent him to Cancun. Crazy how 1 year can make a difference.

[@6manYT]

In 2017 KD said Giannis was his favourite player to watch and he could one day be the greatest to ever play. This is just completely untrue lol, KD has always had a lot of respect for other stars in the NBA

Giannis doesn't do much extracirriculars. You'd think a guy who grew up in poverty would be in every commercial in Wisconsin and Greece, but nope.

Better defender, better rebounder, better scorer, only thing KD is better at is shot creation and a slightly better passer.

[@xFalconn1]

@@kyriakou8098 can’t lie I think giannis is better then KD, but KD defo the better scorer but it’s not like a massive gap. However when you compare the other two skill sets Giannis is levels above in defence rebounding and I also think he’s the better passer but not by much. Overall Giannis is better and has a bigger impact on the game. It’s not even close
