We've Never Seen This Version of Giannis Antetokounmpo

[@ricardogonzalezii181]

Great video. I also believe Giannis doesn’t get enough credit for his improvements as a passer and his iq. Plenty of things he can be critiqued for but i feel the general perception is to still hyper focus on what he can’t do. (And that goes for most superstars in today’s game.) He is certainly locked in. Here’s hoping the team continues winning and are healthy when it matters most. It’s a marathon.

Giannis doesn’t get enough credit in general

[@theflesh9005]

mark my words, giannis will win the 2025 MVP.

If it stopped today he would

[@joeldrummer23]

He should

[@nalendrazakyathallah9533]

I am giannis fan, But Jokic average a fucking triple double per game bruh😢😢

[@NZ.1edits]

​@@nalendrazakyathallah9533 it's the MVP most valuable player award not the most triple double award

[@billyjohnmoreno9280]

I bet if Giannis is American, he's already the new face of NBA as replacement for Lebron.

[@codyracine5639]

Agree also of Giannis was a Laker for his career his cabinet is full of MVPs requiring him to buy a 2nd cabinet lbvs!!!

[@AlexandrosGektidis]

I agree greetings from Greece Sparta.

giannis is doing more than jokic. assists don't tell the whole story. giannis takes on a *bigger* role than jokic offensively. he's responsible for the 2nd highest volume of offensive possessions in the nba (behind lemelo ball not jokic). we all know giannis has won the bucks games on defense alone. has jokic ever done that? and meanwhile, the nuggets and bucks have virtually the same record.... nuggets have 1 fewer loss and have also played 1 fewer game. giannis has changed his game--added a reliable midrange, become a solid screen setter, increased passing and playmaking, rejuvenated his defense, become a more vocal leader (according to teammates) and has led his team to the 5th seed out of dead last with an 8-2 stretch. what exactly has jokic added to changed about his game to support his teams evolving needs? nothing. he plays exactly the same. all offense, no impactful defense. and while bucks started rough, they've clearly turned it around churning out a ton of wins while the 9th seed nuggets have played poorly the entire season.... i am baffled by people just claiming by default jokic should win mvp when his game isn't leading his team to consistency and his lackluster defense is negatively affecting his team.

[@Shmokedoggg]

Thank u finally sum 1 who knows basketball. Giannas is such a beast and every year his numbers keep getting better and better while jokic does the same or sumtimes worst and sum how he keeps winning mvp shit is rigged shai or giannas should have won the mvp last year

[@RealMrSmile]

​@@Shmokedoggg No way Giannis should have won last year And Shai?😂😂😂 Bro had the same record and only thing he had more is points and steals Stop it

[@RealMrSmile]

This is the type of delusion that Jokic being better than Giannis creates inside people's heads

[@gorgeousdre6527]

That boy been balling even when they was losing earlier in the year

[@DonQuixoteSosa]

Giannis greatest gift and curse is his hand size. Jordan had huge hands but his shot was $$$. I’m glad his mid range is looking sweet this year!

[@UnbiasedPep]

Jordan couldn’t shoot the 3.

[@lazzi2462]

@@UnbiasedPep He wasn't bad, they just didn't shoot a lot back then. The three years that he averaged at least 3 attempts per game, he shot at 37%, 42%, and 37%. Those are great 3pt percentages.

[@thedargon6899]

Weren’t those the years they moved the three point line up?

[@theconnaisseur]

Giannis despite pushing 30 and being injury prone as of late keeps improving year after year. Even I they are minimal improvements it’s impressive with his play style he hasn’t declined yet

[@vassilisxerikos3908]

He isn’t truly any more injury prone. The disappearance of Middleton the last three years from regular season play has forced him to take more minutes and come off season he is often worn out.

[@omnipotiscience7251]

@@vassilisxerikos3908 He isn't injury prone. He just gets injured at the worst possible times.

[@theconnaisseur]

@@omnipotiscience7251 if a player gets a moderate injury every season, I would consider them injury prone. But he’s definitely not injury prone to the same level as Embiid or kawhi, but he’s not an iron man like Jayson Tatum either

[@yerosh]

Yannis hired Michael Kalavros as a shooting development coach this summer. Kalavros has been a member of Euroleague powerhouse Olympiakos staff for years. Yianns also spent the summer in Greece working on his muscle flexibility in the best pilates studio along with Sacha Vezenkov former Euroleague MVP. Playing with FIBA rules also helped his attacking mentality since he had to face a wall of three players when he had the ball.

If Giannis could hit threes consistently he would average 40+

"We all thought this was rock bottom for the Milwaukee Bucks" The people who thought they were going to stay bad were only fooling themselves, people who overreact prematurely to everything. Having two superstars, you are likely going to make the playoffs, especially a guy like Giannis & being in the East. Same with Philly if PG & Embiid could stay healthy, they wouldn't be the 2nd worst team in the East. I wouldn't be surprised if the Bucks finished with a top 3 seed, they'll be top 4 for sure. For them, it's all about Giannis' health. If he was healthy the last two Playoffs, no way they'd be bounced out of the 1st round. They probably would've made it to the ECF last year & would've given the Celtics their toughest series. A healthy Bucks team is better than all the teams the Celtics faced in the Playoffs last year, Heat, Cavs, Pacers, & Mavs. They blew the Celtics out twice last season, & one of them was their worst loss of the year.

[@raizen4271]

Calling a 30 year old old is a cap 😅

[@just1992]

They keep giving mvps to jokic who plays 0 defense instead of giannis whi plays both ends of the floor

[@17thpyoungin]

I’m saying bro. Giannis is the best player in the league

[@Greenbean-g7c]

It’s sad he’s getting that lebron treatment . People are just use to him averaging over 30/11/6 . IF he’s healthy this whole season and Into the playoffs Gianni’s is the mvp no doubt

[@RealMrSmile]

​@@17thpyoungin A big majority of NBA fans know and agree that Jokic has been the best in the league for like 3 years now Even people like Shaq and Chuck refer him as the best casually or the big YT personalities like JxmyHighroller refer him as the best Y'all just don't wanna accept it

[@RealMrSmile]

Nah Jokic is just better The players know it, the voters know it But y'all in yo comments think you know more😂

[@Moneymz]

He’s so underrated as a mid range shooter and a playmaker

[@pedrosp5969]

This version of Giannis is better than any version of Lebron

[@greekveteran2715]

Giannis has tied Chamberlain.M.Jordan etc on Triple doubles and he is only 29 years old.

[@Sbbec]

All the Bucks need now is a next Lopez Size who run and jump. Then the team is completed.

[@zenos5077]

He’s getting way more lift on that shot now

[@lazzi2462]

Imo, I feel like he's releasing it too late, he's releasing the ball on his way down already, but doesn't matter if it's working.

[@zenos5077]

@ I can see what you mean for sure but it’s going to get better I believe he’s trying to remove a hitch as much as possible

[@yes.2038]

Why would we trade aj Johnson Tyler or Ajax? Especially Ajax he’s too valuable

[@warpspeed9877]

The Bucks bottom in the East is #3.

[@Shmokedoggg]

Its bullcrap jokic dont deserve a mvp. Westbrook averaged a triple double for 4 or 5 years no 1 gave him a mvp for them shits rigged af

[@RealMrSmile]

He literally won an MVP for it Btw, Jokic does it with much better efficency and his on/off court metrics are even more insane The does what Westbrook did, but better

[@Shmokedoggg]

@RealMrSmile 🤣🤣 hell naw giannas is shooting over 60% from the field and jokic is only shooting 56% so how is that a better efficiency?? All u guys obviously don't watch basketball 🤣🤣 giannis is playing way better it's obvious and u can look it up for yourself on Google so u dont keep making up stats bud👍 sabonas gafford gobert and jerret allen are all way more efficient than jokic so errythang u said about jokic is wrong sorry bud
