Giannis makes those 3 open layups he missed and Portis & Connaughton hit those wide open threes he set them up with, and now all of a sudden Giannis has a 30+/20+/10+ triple double (has only happens twice in postseason history) All of that could have easily have happened yet the Bucks would still get blown out. They were simply outmatched and without their second all star. Hakeem doesn’t go back to back in ‘95 if Clyde Drexler gets hurt either (Clyde averaged 33 points 9 rebounds & 4 assists in elimination games in those playoffs and was also Dream’s closer during that whole run)
And if Kyrie and harden didn’t get hurt or if kd wear his right size shoe and toe nail wasn’t on the line Giannis would’nt have a ring. And kd average 43 last 4 games that series he did have no supporting cast
Riv said word by word "Giannis cant guard in the perimeter" and "his championship last year looks kinda fraudy".Also leaving Giannis open to shoot 3s and long midrange jumpers is because they know how dominant hes in the paint.I dont know what guys want him to do shoot 40% from 3,give you 20 points in the paint,protecting the rim as elite as he does and also be as great of a perimeter defender as a Jrue Holiday because for a big hes already great guarding the perimeter only Adebayo propably is better
He didn't choke. He was just gassed. When you are tired you lose easy baskets that you usually make. And seeing his teammates not able to help, made him take up more shots that he usually disses out to KMid or his other shooters. It's not irrelevant that he was worse at the 4th quarters of the last games. That's being tired. And don't compare him to Kd..Kd gets his points the easy way: he shoots jumpshots. Giannis has to fight hard for his points against big bodies under the hoop. That's a whole different ballgame...
If you play amazing and lose, that’s not choking. It just means that your team wasn’t good enough. as was the case with the bucks and Giannis. Outside of giannis, bucks had no other scorer. Jrue holiday was supposed to be the second scorer for the bucks and he shoot 36% from the field and 30% from 3 and had to shoot 25 times a game just to get to 20 points. Connaughton, hill, matthews, portis, Lopez, and Allen were all atrocious in the series. It’s a miracle that the series went to 7 games. It should have been 4-1 Celtics. Jrue and Lopez should be the ones being called out for choking.
I honestly don’t think Giannis “chocked”. They just got outmatched. But he didn’t play great in game 7 to his standards. They double teamed him and made the role players try to beat them
“We clown Rudy gobert because he can’t guard the perimeter.” “At times we’ve seen Giannis get cooked on the perimeter” Difference is, rudy is a liability on the perimeter. You can put Giannis on shiftier players and expect him to hold his own
It's complicated with Giannis, because yes he played "somewhat" mediocre for his standards at game 7 but in the previous ones he was in god mode, he also had a historic playoff performance (and they still lost). So, basically Giannis gets no pass because he failed to carry a team by himself to the finals, a second time? I understand your logic but all the stars you mentioned KD, Harden had super teams around them, that's why they get no pass, but Giannis, if you remove him from the Bucks, they are instantly a mediocre team, he does a lot for them on both offense and defense. He only scored 25 points at game 7 (along with 20 rebounds and 9 assists) and not 60, so it's automatically on him?
You gotta have something going for you to choke. A role player doesn’t choke a loss because they have no expectations. When you are playing amazing for 3 quarters and then play like ass, you choked the game
@@abdeenabdul9472 I never mentioned Giannis once. I just stated that choking has to come from elevated play. Idrc what you think about Giannis, I just didn't agree with the original comment's take on choking.
yes....what did he have in game 6?? 40 20 5 ? and he lost so i dont want to hear about its his fault, their chance was in game 6 and his team was complete dogshit
Crazy how a 25/20/9 game is considered horrible for giannis lol but people continue to forget that the rest of the bucks basically did nothing. People talk about giannis not being efficient in a half but don't say a thing when it comes to jrue holiday's efficiency for the whole series. They don't say a word about how horrible Allen n Hill was, how bobby portis n others couldn't hit open 3's. Let it be bron in this situation the 1st thing people would point out is that bron had no help but with giannis people are ignoring that he has no help
If kevin durant the best player in the world then 0/6 is unacceptable. He literally needs a god squad to win anything, he gotta team up with kyrie, harden, simmons just to feel secure in an eastern conference with a bunch of single star teams😂😂😭😭
So if Giannis choked then did Luka choke last night? I would say they played better teams than them. But then again I don’t say players choke I say they lose to better teams. When a player who is the greatest player of his era got swept by the Spurs with no help I didn’t say he choked I said the Spurs had better players. By the way before I get quotes about the GOAT discussion I now talk about best player of their era because to many rules are different for different players. Wilt and Russell in the 1960’s, Kareem and Dr. J in the 70’s, Magic and Bird in the 80’s, Jordan and Hakeem in the 90’s, Duncan and Kobe in the 00’s, Lebron and Steph in the 10’s, Giannis and Luka in the 20’s so far.
what is this guys riv talking about how is his championship looking a bit funny.Bro sounds like you hating.Alot of people dont like giannis ,so many people in that media do not like giannis because hes not american and its obvious.The sly hate is rediculous lol
I can’t stand that lebron Stan with the beard. He literally went in on KD because he choked in overtime but yet he didn’t put context into it the way he tryna put context into Gianna’s choking.
No passed here why if luka get pass GS theirs no excuse on Antetokoumpo because luka are doing by himself with a good role players no excuse and double standards and moving the goal post for different players no no
No I don’t think Giannis get a pass because through our history when your labeled the best player in the nba and have a game 7 bad to his standards, and a blowout lost no passes. Mike was held accountable Kobe was held accountable Bron has been accountable Steph had the choker narrative for years KD has been accountable it comes with the territory I’ve never seen any of those goes have a game 7 bad to there standards and not catch flack for it media coddles giannis way to much
Nobody is giving him a pass. Yes Giannis should have played a little better in game 7 but everyone on the planet knew that the bucks were not going to win the series without a second scorer. The series only went to 7 games because the Celtics chocked in 2 of those 7 games. Series should have been 4-1 Celtics. jrue Holiday was supposedly the bucks second best player in the series and their second scorer and he shot 36% from the field and 30% from 3. Dude had to shoot 20-25 times a game just to get to 20 points.

@@Mike-or7oo you’re telling me that nba players who get paid millions and millions of dollars are only gonna play good when their teams best player is playing good? But nobody is sweeping it under the rug.

@@Mike-or7oo just because you’re the best player in the game doesn’t mean that you’re gonna win every series. And if you lose a series that you were supposed to lose because you were outmatched, then you lost. A player shouldn’t get killed for losing a series that they were expected to lose.

its amazing how Giannis drops 25pts 20rebs and 9ast and we say he had a bad performance. that's how great of a player he is
efficiency matters...
@@Howdidhenotseeme right? 😂😂
@@Howdidhenotseeme I 100% agree that's why I said we say that he still had a bad performance even tho his numbers are incredible
if he didn’t miss so many shots he’d have more than 25

'BIG MAN 50% AND UP!!!!' Big boy Joel Embiid has shot 50%+ FG once in his career in a season. Hear the excuses come rolling in when you say that tho.

Dude had more 40 point games in 1 series than most nba players have in a season 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️ yup sure he choked such a dumb take
KD got a pass for last years semi finals.
The only people blaming him were clowns tbh, he was obviously gassed
No passes for this year though lol
Not really you hear about that 0-5 in overtime so much
He did not get a pass last, people were talking down on him constantly for the ot

Really bad take, "you can still play great and choke"
No it’s not. If u play great for 3 quarters then play bad in the 4th u choked
