And Giannis is doing this without another superstar. He beat the clippers with Kawhi and PG, Lakers with Lebron and AD, and the Rockets with Harden and Westbrook. I don't care what anyone says he's the best

This is what is happening. Giannis is a guy who probably the mentally toughest player in the league. Since 7 years old he would go out after school selling CDs and sunglasses is the worst neighbourhoods in Athens to make enough money so he can eat. There were days that he didnt and had to starve. There is not a more determined, mentally tough and hardworking player. It took Simmons 5 years to make a 3... Giannis is shooting 45% this month... At this moment, I agree with Max, he has the chance to be the GOAT. If the Bucks management is careful and not make stupid mistakes like not resigning Brogdon for a few millions over the salary cap, and bring him some help, the Bucks can become the dynasty if the 2020s and Giannis can go down as GOAT.

[@MrSimmies]

Agreed with everything you wrote except Brogdon. Bledsoe is good and first team all-D last year. Brogdon too injury prone. Missed almost 80 games last 3 seasons. I don't think Brogdon liked living in Milwaukee. Said it was too segregated, and complained a lot about that.

J O N N Y H Y D E Stephen a really don’t know what he talking about most of the time

[@Tonio5100]

I just want to know when will ESPN or FS1 start showing side to side stat comparison of PRIME Lebron stats to Giannis stats so we can see stat for stat who's better & see how DOMINANT Giannis really is compared to prime Lebron like they ALWAYS would do with Lebron vs Kobe & Jordan 👀

[@SunnyDarkoShow]

Milwaukee are great with him off the court too. There team always contribute points. Everyone on that team get buckets

[@navshawnguron99]

Atentokounmpo is a beast, a force of nature. He has a wicked smart coach, and a team of hungry veterans. They are the clear favorite

[@umutdenizcimen6448]

ONCE Stephen A. JUST ONCE give the reigning mvp some credit geniously and without shifting the topic the others like embiid, lebron, davis etc. Come on man, its ridicilous at this point!

[@boombro4705]

For like the past 3 years it’s been “if the Sixers can” like bro Giannis has just done it and continuing to improve and kill his opponents haha

[@margaritagarcia5725]

BOOM BRO you right fam idk why df SAS keeps promo open for lebron and the 76ers when they talk abt The Greek Freak

[@boombro4705]

Ferillz doe

[@peterstark4562]

1:55 he's real mvp with that head gear.😁

[@MrJackDennis]

Giannas has been my favourite player for the last 2 seasons. He is a BEAST

Wayne Ellington defeated Luka and his horseys without even bothering to show up!

[@brucescott4261]

U.V. S. ...Luca Doncic didn't do anything. The Dallas Mavericks defeated the Milwaukee Bucks.

[@brucescott4261]

@@Sir_Robin_of_Camelot ...How can someone defeat a team without being present on the court? Please, explain.

[@mikesknow]

Giannis is unreal. Absolute beast.

[@3leon306]

Philly is a great market like a zesty soup. Gazpacho has been around since Roman times, at least in its basic form: a cold soup of leftover bread, water, vinegar, garlic and olive oil. Enriched later with New World tomatoes and peppers, it was pounded with massive pestles in a communal bowl to sustain laborers in the fields. Happily, gazpachos have gotten smoother since (gracias, el blender!), though the trick that imparts its velvety texture-soaking the bread in the liquid first-remains fundamental.

Once Stephan A Smith says your team is coming out of the east, it is not going to happen

[@khalidahmed1795]

CyNpatD ikr lol

[@imfromdowntown]

"Stephen A. is changing his tune." should be the title of his autobiography. That or "Stephen A. is wrong again."

[@jctslice]

FINALLY Stephen A ! Welcome to the party man ! Showed up late, but you're here lol

[@david16ethans35]

It’s been a year and a few months since this came out and the Miami Heat said hello once again

[@makis7383]

Giannis back to back MVP. Love from Greece

[@davodhashimi3809]

makis papachristou he will win it bro

[@jamesk8926]

Philly at some point is gonna have to pick between Simmons or Joel. Logical choice would be Joel

[@basedangel7230]

I’ve been saying this

[@jamesmoore1396]

Simmons has a longer career ahead of him. I don't trust Embiid's body to hold up for another five to eight years while playing at an elite level. Although, to be fair, Joel is the superior talent.

[@Rdaug1458]

Tough call but I think u have to go for Simmons just cause the return for Joel would be huge and in today’s nba u can win without a dominant center

[@jamesmoore1396]

@Allen Reynolds He doesn't, but teams will have more faith and belief in him than Embiid for the long haul. Also, Joel doesn't exactly possess that killer instinct, either. He reminds me of a young Dwight Howard.

[@jamesmoore1396]

@Allen Reynolds I was talking about Embiid's demeanor and attitude. I'm certainly not comparing their playstyle, as, you're right, they're not at all similar in that regard.

[@Ch3zzy]

Max Said, "Welcome to the Party" LOL
