Giannis Antetokounmpo - Freakish Finisher
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2024
- Giannis Antetokounmpo is freaking scary. As if a 21 year old, quick 6’11 point guard with around a 7’4’’ wingspan with a lengthy stride isn’t mind boggling enough, keep in mind that he was 6’9’’ when he came into the league. The kid they call "the Greek Freak” is mesmerizing to watch, because just when everyone thinks he’s got nowhere to go, he seems to extend his limbs past the point thought possible, and does something crazy. It's almost like he's dancing this dazzling dance, and dizzying defenders while doing it.
Giannis is "already a problem now", according to Kevin Durant, “once he starts knocking that jumper down, it’s going to be amazing to watch.” He’s transformed from just an athlete to a formidable defensive presence, to a surprisingly adept playmaker, but one thing has always been consistent: his ability to finish in an unorthodox manner. He finishes with either hand at an impressive clip, and has a variety of tricks he pulls out to throw defenses off. He’s got that euro step down, and it’s because of his lankiness and strange stride that he can throw and keep defenders off balance. He’s also improved his spin move (turning over both shoulders with ease now), and throws in a few pump fakes and stepthroughs just for good measure.
I was originally going to make a video about his funky footwork, but I decided that his footwork is what allows him to get to where he wants to go, and he wisely always wants to get to the rim, so I decided to lock in on his finishing. I went back and forth with the idea of including alley-oops and putbacks, but those are also components of one’s ability to finish, so obviously they are included. All these highlights are from the 2015-16 season aka the Giannis Renaissance-is.

Did I hear "future MVP". We are witnessing one of the most unique players to play this game of basketball.
+Andre Baux if he adds a jumpshot to his game then no doubt.
I'm calling it when he develops a shot he's a goat 💯💯💯
that wouldn't be fair
good call lmao
This aged well
GYROSTEP
@Bill Gates gyros is souvlaki....
The only player 2k cant make realistic
+ Stephen and Klay
+Random Gryffindor steph not really but klay yes
Giannis is not even close guys .They gave him 70 something speed and he is one of the fastest players with these strides
you can't create lebron either because of the stupid cap they put on speed
2k cant make Curry realistic too. I mean, those handles and his release... MAN!!
Over the last 34 games of the season: 18.6 pts, 8.3 rebs, 6.4 assists, 1.5 steals, 1.8 blocks, on .507 FG%. The kid is 21 years old.
A lot of players were better at 21
Axel Minani Name ONE player that put up those types of numbers at age 21 other than LeBron James.
being 6'11 helps
Arron Joseph There are at least 2 players who are 6'11 on pretty much every team. They don't all play like him, and he's still a kid. That was the point. His potential.
+Ninja Channel Yea in the next few years when he starts getting more confident on his jumper were looking at another LeBron
giannis euro step is awsome
He takes his two steps from free throw line and is already at the rim. Ridiculous.
+theking121696 3pt
Half court
chicago
from the opposite free throw line. but in all seriousness...at 4:30 it takes him only FOUR dribbles to cover the length of the court.
I take 2 steps and gotta take 6 more.
His length is so unreal, it looks like he's moving horizontally instead of vertically even when he goes for the dunk!
Future superstar
Current superstar. Future GOAT, best of the best, greatest of them ALL!!!
He really is a pleasure to watch
everybody talks about how he should add a jumper to his play. if you actually watch his games you can see that he already got that , its just a matter of time til he starts to trust his shot . the matter is that bucks are weak as they are now. and kidd keeps giannis out at the 4th period for like 7 out of 10 games. . he should trust him more. not only for bucks , but for his own improvement of the game . keep going giannis . cant wait to see you at the top
he put on a fuckin SHOW against the Celtics where he drained something like 3 or 4 three-pointers
he's gonna be scary as hell next year
+Youthanasia131313 I don't think it's about adding a jumper necessarily, but you're right. As the season has progressed, his jumper has gotten smoother. If his ability to knock down jumpers gets to even half where he is in terms of finishing, he's a waking nightmare.
+Youthanasia131313 to be honest your right he fixed his shot mechanics in just 3 years in the nba, however the biggest problem is confidence in that jumpshot. As well as he doesn't have a lift when he shoots, when he spots up he needs to implement more leg strength when he shoots
What
Maybe if you used quarters instead of periods people would respect your opinion
jesus christ he is so damn athletic. All his finishes are insane dunks
that footwork
He is a nightmare to cover, good luck to the league
At 4:30 it takes him only FOUR dribbles to cover the length of the court.
HE IS AMAZING OMG...
His accent is so adorable thooo
Future G.O.A.T
Most Improved Player.
You get two steps after you gather the ball and no one does that more effectively than this kid. Most of these are very much so not travels even though a lot of people seem to have different opinions
Most physically gifted wing player since LBJ? It's really not fair that he has such terrific coordination and fluidity with that massive frame and athleticism.
As of May 2015, his max vertical reach was 12'2". He's probably gained a couple of inches with more strength training. Highest recorded all-time is 12'5.5" by D.J. Stephens (D12 had a comparable reach in his heyday).
plays reminds me of kevin durant, very long leg. his euro footwork is more than efficient it's guarantee to work always
Giannis A. finishes like I do on a nerf hoop. His length is off the charts. It still blows my mind that he plays a lot at the PG position. He's a blast to watch. That "Euro-step" is insane! I was so surprised he didn't test the free agent market. He's loyal to the Bucks and they gave him a max deal without a moment of thought. I expect he's only going to get better.
He is a triple double machine
with his height and athleticism, it's possible that he can make double figures in all 5 categories(pts, rebs, asts, stls, blks) someday..
+My Panic Wormhole That'll be inhuman.
Wilfri Castillo ?
This guy as a Point next year is a really fun feeling bc this guy can go baseline to baseline in two dribbles.
+MonsterToe5 if this guy doesnt average a triple-double not next year but the year before that then this guy'll be overrated #imjoking #butreallyhesthatgoodandphysicallygifted
straight beast mode
i picked this dude in the 5th round of my 10 man league last year. that's never happening again =D
GREEK GOD 👑🐐
The future, nuff said!
He needs to pick the 3 ball back up again. He has everything else if he does work on it, he will be a force to be reckoned with in the NBA. He has PG ball handles and is very quick. Clearly this kid is a future MVP. He's a few more years until his Prime. So he does have room to improve before he explodes into a Top 3 player.
He can drive to the basket, post up and his jump shot is improving. His defense is really good too. What can't he do? Greek FREAK!
I do believe next year's averages of Giannis would be around 21p 9reb 8ass 2bl 1.5st which means more than 20 triple doubles...put it in a different context i do hope he will be the first player ever in NBA to record more than 1500point , 500reb,500ass,100st,100bl during a single regular season...or in other word a top20 player on every freaking statistic...so Giannis stay HEALTHY and keep up the hard work
that would make him closer to top 10 in every stat
but 21 ppg might not cut it with the leagues top 10 scorers all avg prolly 23 or more
Kevin Durant + Russell Westbrook = Giannis Antetokunmpo
W/o the jumper
+Brendn Swam He can develop one, I mean look at John Wall a few years ago he had the worst jumpshot and now he is fire from the elbow and decent from three.
+The Dream Its all about confidense .He has good mechanics .When you see the gap defenders give him closing its over
Hell no
Stop spamming you 5yo fanboy
Giannis parts the sea, like Moses
He's a future mvp
Got it completely right my brother.
Not even close to finishing his career and has a HOF career 5 years later, gonna be a defending champion. Dude keeps leveling up
I wanna see him and DJ go head up. This is a 7ft PG. Sheesh!!! Unreal
Unique footwork this guy definitely play soccer the way he performs the euro step is magnificent
+Juventus Soul Yup! You're correct! He did play soccer before getting into BBALL.
I've heard he can juggle a soccer ball forever. Not crazy but for a near 7 footer it's crazy haha
I've heard he can juggle a soccer ball forever. Not crazy but for a near 7 footer it's crazy haha
Been waiting for this
His fake pass is way too op
This man doesn't have a lot of tools but the things he is good at are all unguardable
In five years I bet him and Ben Simmons are gonna be the best point guards in the league.
Looking at this video I now feel confident that he will dominate as PG next year.
Go, Go Giannis arms!
he take two steps from the three point arc to the rim. Ridiculous
Pause at 4:24, the dude is keeping check of 2 guys 1 at each side of the paint and the pass was actually not that bad.
MUCHAS VECES DA TRES PASOS CUANDO ATACA LA CANASTA, PERO ES UN GRAN JUGADOR POR QUE TIENE GRAN DEFENSA, ALTURA, VELOCIDAD Y GRAN IMPACTO. ES EL FUTURO
He moves and style of game remember a lit bit Westbrook. Amazing!
This Dude Has The Most Potential In The NBA... Oh Yeah And Jason Kidd and maybe Lebron Will be working him out
Great great stuff
Whoever at the Bucks head office decided to draft this man, give that guy a pay rise
I wish I could build a time machine and put him on the '92 Greece team, bring him off the bench and have Pippen and Jordan say, wtf is this? F' Kukoc, Giannis is a Bull now, pay him whatever he wants! Lol
Size of a center skills of a point guard.
I think we all know what his favorite go to move is....so many Euro steps in one video
Είσαι απίστευτος. απόλαυση να σε βλέπω
+Evin Gualberto Amazing videos! Could you please do Klay Thompson but his offense instead (finishes and shots). I know you did his lockdown already. Also your videos are really great, keep it up!
demigod
If he had a 3 point shot he would be unstoppable
With this guys stride length...if he ever tried the 100m sprint and bulked up a bit....i don't think usain bolt would stand a chance
Hey Evin, I see that you haven't made a Giannis Antetokounmpo video in a long time. What do you think about the concept of "Slippery Slasher" and showing all the times he does a euro or just a 1-2 step and slips in between two defenders?
Amazing...he could be the new magic Jhonson or something similar...
Great video! would you work in some Kevin Durant finishing ability?
I really like your channel, keep it up
Regards from Chile
Giannis is an athletic version of Larry Bird.
The NBA Freak!
NBA champ 2021
Imagine he develops the 3 ball
geekish
he finishes at the rim despite the triple team lol
where is "Kobe left wonder" I really like it
he walks so much
5:52 lebron stands there not playing any defense watching giannis do all that
Giannis = young Scottie Pippen. Who else agrees?
He plays basketball like Gumby, mixed with stretch Armstrong
Who else is here in July 2020, and wondering where everyone has been in the past 4 years.
People say he needs a Jumper, don't watch him play. The REAL problem with him is, he's new to Basketball. He literally has been playing basketball for only 6 years, he's going to be The Greatest Buck ever! If your watch him play, you can tell he doesn't have LBJ, Kobe or Duncan type of IQ Same as Jabari. In Three years Him & KAT WILL OWN THE NBA. Jabari needs more Minutes, sometimes he'll be WIDE OUT and you could see he's Thinking rather than Reacting.
the problem with tht comment is kat wont surpass AD .... secondly oscar robertson and kareem played for the bucks bck in the day so maybe 3rd best?
+f3ck it he could surpass Kareem, Kareem is more of a Laker than a Buck. Giannis could avg 25-8-8-2-1
ur probably right
I can see him averaging a triple double in a few years
EEhhh I don't know about that but he could average a near triple double. I see him dropping like 23-25 points 9 rebounds and 6-8 assists
This guy is more comparable to Lebron than Ben Simmons is
Ben Simmons is more comparable since Giannis is more of a KD type of player
Grant Hill of the modern era
I love Giannis 💖 but I see some travels lol
Why does he make it look so easy?
He reminds me of Grant Hill... also... he traveled in a few of those plays... took 3 steps...
Edmundis Tolitus gather
nope 3 steps
freak
Today's Giannis is a lot more explosive, but 3 years he was a lot more quicker and agile
That's traveling.
Walking in the Moon 😂
The guy does a euro from behind the free throw line.. okay
first time I see a guy that can go from his own half court to dunking the ball with one dribble.
and lol at 1:14 the guy tries to block him he's like a foot short.
I see people keep saying he needs to shoot more....but why? If he can get to the hole like that and slam every play, why does he need to shoot low percentage shots when dunks are guaranteed 2 points.
Just like with Curry, no one even tries to defend him
Like me if you think Giannis is awesome! Μας έχεις κάνει περηφανους ρε Γιάννη! Love from Greece :)
Who needs a jumper when you can finish at the rim like him?
Could we see a STANLEY JOHNSON defense ?

he's unfair! sheesh
Well.. now they got 2 greek freaks w thon
What the fuck man this guy dunks like dr j
is he travelling during his spin moves?
Does he get any calls? sheesh
this slow /fast mode .....!
All you have to say is 6'11 point guard.
PLS make a complication of horrible calls the refs have made for the Warriors.
Livingston running into steph and it gets called for a shooting foul.. Draymonds moving screens, Draymond flipping a celtic in the final seconds of the game. Etc
+Lisset Caicedo That video would be too long
That's about an Hour
Draymond karate kicking Stevie Adams twice and no foul called.
scared that this dude steps too hard during his euros
5:52 he "didn t" jump on that dunk
a 3pt shot away from being KD 2.0
His shins are gonna break if he keeps euro stepping every single fast break
nope
