Giannis Antetokounmpo went Wilt Chamberlain to close out the NBA Finals 😳 (Game 6 at Home) 😂 He could Retire tomorrow and be a FIRST BALLOT HALL OF FAMER AT AGE 26 !!!!!!!!!! Wow
Absolutely CEMENTED in all of NBA History! 1 of 3 players to earn a finals MVP, a regular season MVP and a Defensive Player of the year! Michael Jordan, Hakeem Olajuwan and GIANNIS!!! Congrats to the Greek Freak!
One of the problems with this positionless Basketball is they are judging Giannis the same way they Judge KD..When in reality Giannis is a PF and KD is a SF...Traditionally a SF will have a different Skill set than a PF...But that doesn't mean the SF is better..Shaq was the most dominant..He never was the most skilled..And we never expected Shaq to have skills like a SF..Now Giannis is dominant and they are holding it against him that he doesn't have skills like a SF...When Giannis is this generation Shaq..
Yes Giannis has more post moves and a better driving game then durant (post hooks, euros, spin moves) all better then kds but NOBODY bring that shit up
i mean a lot of dudes were, shabazz fucking muhammad was the pick before him, look back at that draft it was rough lol. there wasn't really any sure fire picks so they just took a flier on the guy they thought might have the most potential
The NBA scouts barely knew Giannis, that's why, they only scouted him like 1 month before the draft. Only the Hawks and The Bucks were interested in him. The Hawks expressively want him but the Bucks got the pick before them. So really, he's not exactly a common prospect.
Giannis’ mid range game is actually pretty solid….the jump hook from 7-10 ft, the turnaround post jumper from 10-15 ft, the one legged Dirk fadeaway from 13-16 ft, and pull up mid range from 15-20 ft are lowkey turning into go to shots of his and it’ll get a lot better from here…..not to mention the other parts of his game he can improve
Giannis is a career 72% FT shooter and shot 76% from the line in the second half of the regular season….he may not consistently go 17-19 but he definitely won’t shoot 55% from the line again fun fact: Giannis has a game where he shot 17/17 from the line
The lowkey huge development moving forward. Now he has a post-season where he knows what to do when doubled, singled, etc. His confidence will show in his offense.
why is nobody mentioning that down the stretch, Giannis was guarding Chris Paul. A 7 footer guarding a 6 footer...and locking him down !! Just unbelievable
The way they describe Giannis' play it's like they didn't watch. Go watch the highlights, Giannis was using agility, balance, and grace to go AROUND ayton. Euros, spins, crossovers, pass fakes, how they describe it at about the 8 minute mark is kinda just nonsense
Bill Simmons just said that this was as good as any Larry Bird performance ever???? This honestly equals that Giannis has just played the best game ever, for real
giannis had a 2006 d wade finals like run..for sure...or walton in 1977...down 2-0 to win 4 in a row as a underdog is insane but unlike the 06 heat the bucks did not have 3 in a row at home or get a suspension so its much harder to win 4 in a row now a days ala 1977 but back then it was a different sport...to me what the bucks did was much harder then what miami or the blazers did
Giannis realized if he played a certain way he is unstoppable..But basically Barkley and Shaq was telling him this all year lol..When Giannis plays like a 90s 00s Power Forward he is unstoppable.
that may go down as a top 2-3 closeout finals victory ever for giannis in the finals...right next to mj's last game as a bull and magic's 1980 rookie masterpiece on the road without the mvp....its right there...duncan's game 6 2003 is up there but not top 3...i would put giannis 2nd behind magic...doing it as a rookie is insane but even then he did get 37 10 from wilkes a hofer...the thing with giannis is he did it without anyone for like 44 minutes showing up besides portis on offense much outside of moments...2 guys played 26-36 minutes each and scored combined 0 for the bucks jrue was 4-19 and brook barley scored and khris for a long time was floating....mj's 15-35 was not that amazing but its mj going 3 straight and 6 for 6 so it has historic context on a night pippen was hurt rodman was banged up and the team was off besides toni really
its unfair for people to say injuries effected the playoffs..the nets were unfair so expecting giannis with no super team to beat a super duper team is unfair..and even if trae young plays the hawks lose for sure...the clippers with kawhi may beat the bucks who knows but besides that its unfair to say giannis had an easy run...he got hurt and dominated the finals...his team still mostly sucks, we know this..thats why hes a top 27 player all time now cause that run is hard to pull off ala 2011 mavs...after khris and giannis its a bunch of randomness but hey thats old school ala the 2001 lakers..2 guys and a bunch of random...2006 wade shaq..2009 kobe gasol and random heroes from fisher to ariza to odom...2011 dirk terry and randomness...
@@kalinwang1 it’s crazy KD is the best offensive player in the world but all around player you got to go with Giannis people will realize that eventually
I love how Ryan checks Bill every time he tries discrediting Lebron😂 Bill always uses other people’s accomplishments to knock and Lebron and Ryan’s always like “Okay pause…”
Lebron had to leave and stack a team to win. The Greek Freak stayed in Milwaukee and won. It is what it is. When both careers are over and done with it will be a thing.
@@iank3924 he didn't HAVE to leave and stack a team he tried to get them to come to Cleveland and they said no his management didn't make good trades and bring talent to the team he took his career in his hands
@@KobaniacMinded Or he failed, things were hard, he has been spoiled since age 14, and he took the easy way out. Giannis is such a better competitor and is mentally tougher. He had every reason to leave the Bucks and stuck it out and won in an era where the NBA players are always taking the easy way out.
@@iank3924 you do realize that if other teams were not hurt namely the nets who they still almost lost to, he'd probably have requested a trade by now dont be brainwashed by the moment and narrative
They were just more iconic and memorable, not nearly as good. Look at what giannis did both defensively and offensively whilst shutting up his critics about FT and scoring half his teams points (50 out of 105) AI is my fav player but that game is the only finals game he won and the stepover is why we all remember it.
@@usmanfarooq96 I don’t think lebrons is more iconic just because they ended up losing and got swept. So the magnitude of this game was so much greater that it overtook the “lebron effect”
Yea, for the last two games, Giannis just reach another level of mastery where he knows what to do and the counters to stuff he's been thrown at for the past recent year, be it shooting midranges, pump fake from 3pt line into drive and spin moves. And his hook shots is just something unstoppable when he gets to the spot.
Ayton fell for that 3pt pump fake with one foot in the paint and it didn’t even matters Giannis is too damn quick. He was in the spin move so damn fast.
People don’t understand Giannis! You know how hard it is to win with one team and doing the right way and he’s finally did it and it was just a relief and unreal for him! I think, Giannis never thought that he was going to win with Milwaukee Bucks because it’s not super team and small market! But he did it and it was the emotion that has been built up for a very long time and it shows on his face and he was just happy and enjoyed the moment!
Don't forget people after the last games without giannis against hawks were talking how the bucks were better without him!!! Crazy some get paid big telling this bull
frank gave them good minutes they just did not play him in other games plus donte has been out for 3 rounds for the bucks so they had a bigger injury loss then saric is for the suns..hes just a body..he barley plays..stop it...he may get a dnp if giannis scores 35 on him
@@razkable Saric is, compared to Frank, a great passer, playmaker and screen setter. He played sparingly for whatever reason, but he would be valuable in this series, especially since Phx didn't have anyone to give Ayton a meaningful break. And his skillset would allow Phx to play differently and move the ball faster.
Respect. Compared to all of the other assessments out there, this was actually a contextual appreciation of Giannis. Not too much, not too little, not too sensational. Reminded me of good Bill Simmons content back in the day.
Bill Simmons, and Rusilo are fucking awesome. Basketball nerds that have backbone and truth in their opinions. Simmons loves his damn Celtics and can fanboy now and then, but hes earned that right because of his majority of work. I LOVE BASKETBALL!!
Giannis winning this championship “organically” tarnishes Lebron 3 colluded/manipulated/schemed championship. Giannis’ 1 chip is greater than LeScheme’s 3. By a mile.
@@slavemonkey5063 I don't think LeBron's first run should necessarily be blamed on the front staff. They won 66 in 2009 and 61 in 2010. There was good reason in 2010 to believe that with some experience, they could make the jump. But then the team was terrible again against Boston and the NBA was forever changed.
Why can’t you put the whole podcast on. You lied to us bill about the ringer not changing under Spotify. I miss the full podcasts. Thanks for selling your company and changing.
The Hakeem comparison is actually perfect but not for the reason Bill mentioned. I can’t say with certainty or confidence that Hakeem would have those two rings if Jordan was in the league the same way I can’t confidently say (and no one said) the bucks would win the chip with a healthy NBA.
its unfair how giannis has number 1 pick top 20 player all time type pressure put on him from the media because of 2 mvps but he was not even a top 12 pick...or born in the usa..and came from poverty....
its great to see kd lebron kawhi giannis curry have dominated this era since 2012 and should be 2011...its been their decade...now lets see what harden jokic lillard embiid and tatum can do...guys people put in the top 5 too early and top 10 all the time..

its unfair how giannis has number 1 pick top 20 player all time type pressure put on him from the media because of 2 mvps but he was not even a top 12 pick...or born in the usa..and came from poverty....
what in the camera 0.5K is this LOL!!!!???
i see they recorded this video in 8K ultra HD...
1080p? You must be having a laugh mate
Bill Simmons voice never changed.
Are they streaming this with a PS2 camera?
the camera quality LMFAO
Might as well take out my Nokia with irda
i was rooting for the suns but im still happy for sure
Props to Bill on his coffee mug selection, I have that same mug and it is the best. :D
its great to see kd lebron kawhi giannis curry have dominated this era since 2012 and should be 2011...its been their decade...now lets see what harden jokic lillard embiid and tatum can do...guys people put in the top 5 too early and top 10 all the time..
HARDEN HAHAHA
Phenomenal talents, all five of them (the first five you mentioned, that is).
Giannis is in the same era as the Lillard, Jokic, embiid. The guy is only 26

Im a Giannis guy all day.... but Durant is still the best player in a league.
