after that speech I bet skip and the media feels bad for hating on gianiss yesterday as a lot of them chose kawhi or harden..smdh...gianiss was mvp because of the humility he shows..hes never the story negatively..only positively....sure he lost but theres no doubt where he wants to be to win his ring unlike kawhi who may leave or no story of him fighting with teammates like harden with cp3...notice that?...and then you got the warriors and kd mess....gianiss right now is the best thing going
Skip out of bounds with that confidence thing. Man just rel humble. A black man who grew up in Greece. N made it to the nba. N is mvp? Ultimate rags to riches story. His humility should be lauded. Not criticised.
Yxng K1 same thing was happening to kawhi and sometimes when he couldn’t score as much he would make plays and rebound. Since Giannis doesn’t have a jumper it’s way harder for him to score and play make because he doesn’t bring any attention outside the paint
vansh chugh Well he can overpower, but he can efficiently overpower only missmatches. His actual PF matchups pretty much are not overpower, but beaten by his first step and Lenght. He is no LBJ type of bully.
If you can't beat one of the major sources of Skip's hate (Kawhi or LeBron). You ain't even decent (see: Paul George, Joel Embiid, Derrick Rose, and especially steph scurry.)
Massimiliano Vincioni what do you mean the right way? His game is purely athleticism, that’s how he got exposed in the eastern conference finals cause he couldn’t do anything else
@@wolog1454 I think he means playing both sides of the ball, he was a finalist for MVP and DPOY compared to James Harden's notorious defense, which you cannot really argue, Giannis is the more complete player.
Jakob Bowers harden has become a solid defender, he closes out his opponent and gets between his opponent and whoever has the ball on the opposing team. That’s how he is 2nd in deflections and 2nd in steals. Giannis however just uses his body and athleticism to stand right in front of them so they can’t get around him. That’s why he sucks when guarding a shooter cause they don’t have to drive, like Kawhi Leonard
Nobody cares about what Kobe said in 2017, many people have been saying that giannis will be an mvp, the fact that Kobe said it doesnt make him special lmao
@@rudefloridaman1449 It doesn't matter that's what made Giannis work even harder. When he didn't win MVP last year I know it hurt him and that pain turned into motivation. Him not making the finals this year probably caused that same pain. He's gonna be scary next season.
It's not like Kobe's sum basketball genuis that he discovered a diomaiond in the rust everybody with a brain new Gianni's was gonna be something when he got drafted
It feels like he has to have a difference of opinion than O'shay rather he believes what he's saying or not, just to have something to debate. It's about ratings.
If Sabonis had won 6MOTY, we would have had a full international sweep this season, that really would have been something. From a playing perspective we could have had Canadian champions, a Greek MVP, a French DPOY, a Serbian ROTY & a Cameroonian MIP.
If Giannis isn't that strong, why did they wall him up then? Also, Giannis DID say his main goal is a championship. Skip and Shannon aren't stupid, but they act like it sometimes.
yeah they did that yesterday..exposed?..he still led his team in points rebs blocks stls assists fg%...he just has a hole In his game but if he had better help you wouldn't notice that....giv ehim curry klay green iggy shaun boogie see how easy it is then smdh....you dont win a title over night..its hard man...they were 66-17 with him on the court this year before kawhi happened...they will be better prepared next year when mirotic brook hill brogdon khris aren't worried about the money as their all free agents so that was on all their minds im sure
El Marocano while being way younger with much less experience, you can’t go from first round exits to championship that fast. There are stepping stones, harden will never get a ring. Giannis will most definitely win some
Bro Giannis played bad but he was never expected to make the Eastern conference finals and he nearly made the nba finals. He lost in 6 and so did the warriors.
Giannis didn't even play as bad as people making it out to seem. Averaged over 20 points per game against the Raptors with Kawhi and 3 other players on him at all times. (Gasol, Ibaka are both fantastic defenders). He played insane defense in that series also, he was leading 2-0 and if they had won game 3 at Toronto the series would have been pretty much over right there at 3-0 Milwaukee and we would be talking different now. He showed inexperience but that's about it...he didn't play as bad as they are making it seem.
@@Guccimane0713 that wasnt the beggining of season expectation, u like the ceLshits and raptors who had top seed projections. The Bucks were a 7th seed the year before, this wasnt the expectation of the team.
Giannis truly is the most valuable player in the league... Harden, Russ, PG are all great night in and night out. But if you pull Giannis off the Bucks they will be picking early in the draft next summer. Giannis makes the right play, plays defense, and clearly is the leader and face of that franchise. Well deserved
Trayvon Etienne Lol if you think Eric Bledsoe and company are gonna lead the Bucks to the playoffs you’re crazy 😂 Giannis makes his teammates better for sure. And one of them are wide open every possession because he has to get doubled
Gabriel Hutchinson how does he cheat the game. Creative ways to draw contact is a part of the game. So did Dwayne wade cheat the game when he made the pump fake move to draw fouls. No he didn't because he is smart and figured out a way to get to the line if needed. Just like harden. Now I'm not saying that harden doesn't flop. He does a lot but that is a part of the game that I hope gets eliminated.
Aaron9 Exploiting rules is not cheating. It may be cheap but don’t all nba players exploit rules. The warriors use illegal picks. Everyone has done the d wade pump fake and every player at one moment in time has flopped so just because he does it more than others doesn’t mean he cheats
Retroballer28 d Wade didn’t intentionally try to do it everytime he got the ball. If you fell for the pump fake, that’s the only time he’d try to draw a foul... which is normal place.
if kawhi leaves and philly don't resign jimmy and tobias then i don't see how the bucks are not big favourites to make the finals next year, even if they dont bring everyone back they still have the best core of any team in the east
1. Both of them choked in the playoffs but Giannis choked in the East finals, he went further than Harden at a younger age. If the fans voted, Giannis would still win over Harden, Scoring a bunch of points in an offensively gifted league is easier than being the main man on your team leading in offense, defense, and off court accountability. No matter how they slice and dice this, Giannis was still better.
Being shocked for winning MVP = *perspective.* It's good to have perspective and *learn to appreciate!* Being a *spoiled diva* that feels he is owed everything is this generation's problem.
That's why Hakeem is a living legend. Always showed up on biggest stages. Harden need to get tips from Hakeem about being dominant when it matters most.
Shannon, just because Giannis is the most famous Antetokoumpo doesnt mean he steppied in as a the father figure of the household. His big brother is a succesful basketball player and Giannis' mentor.
This wasn’t the time to talk about harden that’s bs just talk about what Giannis did. This man really said I still would of voted for James Harden gtfoh. Just Stop
wait skip... giannis said exactlg what you thought he shoudlve said minus the " we embarrased ourselves" part. he said something like " this is just the beginning, my goal is to win a championship"
There’s nothing historic about a guy that abuses the rules to become this so called “unstoppable force” Kareem didn’t have to bend any rules and his skyhook was truly an unstoppable weapon of a champion. One of the best of all time.
To be honest, I think the way Harden went out in the playoffs had something to do with why he didn’t win mvp. If the awards were given out during the playoffs, like it used to be, he would’ve gotten it. But it’s impossible for me to dismiss Giannis, it really could’ve gone either way.
After the Finals, you get Champions hype for a few days, then everyone starts to get caught up in Draft talk & Free Agency. There's no way these award should be hosted after the start of the playoffs.
Come on skip. I have to disagree with you here. Did you really say Giannis didn't feel confident. For anyone that has come from a very poor and I mean nothing background understands that you have to be shocked that you are in this position because back then it is impossible with poverty you had. That's what he meant. Forgetting the emotional side he did deserve it. He worked hard and thats why those votes were that high. Jus sayin
Giannis deserves it this was his year even tho his team didn’t go to the finals he lead them to the best record in the league and he actually plays defense unlike harden and finished top three in DPOY voting
How was Giannis exposed in the playoffs when he dominated the playoffs until he faced Kawhi? Harden choked again to the Warriors for the 2nd year in a row. Get out of here.
For the people about to hate on Skips opinion if you think the voters didn't take into consideration James Hardens playoff history your smoking. Imagine if this was 6 years ago and Harden was putting up those numbers folks would be saying different things. At the end of the day Giannis was my pick but I can't deny it was because I looked at Hardens history.
It's just the media that forgot he was human. Not everyone. That kinda speech happens every year. Nothing new. Just coming from a different person. Great player
Skip always referencing the post season for the award to negate Giannis' success Maybe I watched a different playoff set, but didn't Harden and the Rockets come up short A FULL ROUND BEFORE GIANNIS AND THE BUCKS DID?!
The biggest issue with that argument is that the playoffs should have no say on the REGULAR SEASON MVP. The MVP award is based off the regular season. So to bolster or negate a player due to team success or failures in the playoffs is stupid to me
Giannis did say they got unfinished business wtf Skip talking about Of course Giannis gone get emotional probs the first time he let that happen in his life I can imagine He came from literally nothing they was poor immigrants in Greece This guy came into the nba as a skinny kid who wasn’t really great at anything apart from being really long In 6 years he went from that to MVP and taking a team of no stars to a conference final I never seen someone come up as fast as he has in sport The guy started playing basketball at 12! By that age nearly all previous MVP are already known nationally as a upcoming star To much respect for Giannis
What are your thoughts on Giannis winning MVP?
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED Greek Freak
Let's go 💪🏿
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED he deserved it
Giannis was an MVP candidate and DPOY candidate. If I had to choose G.A. or Harden, for my team, I'm picking Giannis every time.
Skip and Shannon: UNDISPUTED he deserved it
If Skip was a voter he would have voted for Tim tebow
He would have voted for "Number 2". 😀
I would vote for Tebow too
Rhys 10 or MICHAEL JEFFERY JORDAN! Lmao

His humility should be lauded. Not criticised.
Exactly and he said that he wants a ring
couldn't agree more...
I concur
@hardwork Pays Off if you are black, yes.
bennett white Senile is Skips middle name 💯🙌👌
What makes Giannis is MVP is that he was DPOY contender along with the 60 wins and his crazy offence dominance.
A1 IDIOT YA. Then he got exposed by the kawhi
Exotic Loob choked a 0-2 better work on that jumper
DR PHIL yup that’s why I don’t like James harden

Best record in league
But people think harden should have won?? I’m confused
They basically are saying Harden Offensive play were better overall than The Greek Freak 😒
Because according to the media playing defence doesn’t matter. I’ve always thought the best two way player should be MVP, not the highest PPG.

For anyone that has come from a very poor and I mean nothing background understands that you have to be shocked that you are in this position because back then it is impossible with poverty you had. That's what he meant.
Forgetting the emotional side he did deserve it. He worked hard and thats why those votes were that high.
Jus sayin
MVP shouldn’t be based only on performance but character as well, giannis proved he can play, carry his team and be a great representative of the nba.
Seeing “Kawhi’s Meeting With Mavs..” and was shocked. As a Mavs fan, I NEVER saw this as possible.
Giannis deserves it this was his year even tho his team didn’t go to the finals he lead them to the best record in the league and he actually plays defense unlike harden and finished top three in DPOY voting

Bruh... the man literally said "But at the end of the day, this is just the beginning. My goal is to win a championship" at the end of his speech
Greek also should’ve won DPOY.
TJ Martin I won’t argue that. Either way Greek or PG13 should’ve been DPOY.
right I have Greek or PG13 to win it
PG13*
Jordan Bledsoe Yes and they were ranked in the top three for offense too.
💯 Big facts
Now skip wanna tell players how to accept the mvp speech 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's just the media that forgot he was human. Not everyone. That kinda speech happens every year. Nothing new. Just coming from a different person. Great player
So basically the media is supporting a professional flopper in Harden Wow now we know how y'all really feel about non American basketball Players
This is some real xenophobic nonsense.
Your really mad bruh. What's this your 30th comment about that?
Shannon definitely almost accidentally called Giannis' mom "the real MVP". I think he stopped himself in a moment of better judgement, actually.
Skip always referencing the post season for the award to negate Giannis' success
Maybe I watched a different playoff set, but didn't Harden and the Rockets come up short A FULL ROUND BEFORE GIANNIS AND THE BUCKS DID?!
The biggest issue with that argument is that the playoffs should have no say on the REGULAR SEASON MVP. The MVP award is based off the regular season. So to bolster or negate a player due to team success or failures in the playoffs is stupid to me
Giannis did say they got unfinished business wtf Skip talking about
Of course Giannis gone get emotional probs the first time he let that happen in his life I can imagine
He came from literally nothing they was poor immigrants in Greece
This guy came into the nba as a skinny kid who wasn’t really great at anything apart from being really long
In 6 years he went from that to MVP and taking a team of no stars to a conference final
I never seen someone come up as fast as he has in sport
The guy started playing basketball at 12! By that age nearly all previous MVP are already known nationally as a upcoming star
To much respect for Giannis
Harden is overrated
He's the only big man out there doing what's he's doing congrats to The Big Man Giannis
No way harden mvp or at least Co mvp the freak should have been dpoy
