We have giannis' athleticism, Luka's magic and Jokic's crazy efficiency. And at the Same time Curry is still unbelievable and Lebron is still an Allstar. Great times to be an NBA fan to be honest
Hell yeah! It was insane watching it live. Seeing it in slow motion you see his eyes follow the complete arch of the ball. Then being the freak that he is he was able to turn jump and block it. Absolutely amazing. It was one of those jump out of your seat kind of moments.
The fact that he was guarding the guy throwing the alley-oop then in a split second flips turns around to recover and blocks a center from dunking. He was basically in two places at once… that man’s not human.
It is terrifying how easy it is for Giannis to get all the way from halfcourt to the rim with a single dribble and finish with a dunk from the foul line. It's a highlight we would hear about all the time if Wilt or Kareem had done it and here is Giannis pulling it off multiple times in actual games.
@@PiwaiGee when you're a 7 footer like giannis is and have that kind of athleticism its not surprising it would happen. the pressure that those kind of explosive up and down movements have on his long nimble limbs and joints would make it to where he gets worse over time. but yeah i am sure about it, itd be overblown if kareem or wilt did it but giannis makes it look like its nothing.
With all the craziness of the free-throw line dunks and Giannis jumping over Hardaway. Him dunking on/through 2 people somehow gets lost in the mix, insane highlights.
Being a bucks fan the last 4 games of the nba finals were a religious experience. Even if we don’t get another I’m almost certainly gonna remember this era of bucks basketball with nothing but happiness
I don’t think he’s in the beginning of his prime anymore tbh. And he definitely knows that as well (being a Giannis fan myself) which is why he’s putting pressure on the Bucks to do something about it. He doesn’t wanna waste his prime. He’s 29 now. Knowing how injury free and resilient he’s been throughout his career, I’d say he probably still had a good 5 years minimum of his prime. Still, it’s more like he’s right smack in the middle of his prime.
the dunk over tim hardaway is literally not talked about as one of the greatest plays of all time. he CLEARED 6’6 THJ on a fucking lob. commentators didnt help either but my goodness
5:16 I remember I nearly woke up my parents with my cheering when I watched that game. That highlight was the moment my love of basketball and the NBA came back from the grave.
He just showed everyone how lame the dunks in the recent dunk contests were. For a while it was all about jumping AFTER the freethrow line and jumping over people. Giannis did it in actual games.😂
Nah prime Russ was even quicker, a better passer and a better permiter defender. Giannis is more of a post player. Him and Russ definitely have similar driving skills tho
@@IndigoSignature1234You don't know much ball at all Lol. All that you listed prime Russ had, Giannis also has, with an even better natural IQ for the game on a 6'11 frame basically.
@@IndigoSignature1234 He's the quickest 6'11 player I've ever seen that's for sure and he plays defense from 1 through 5 but lately mostly used as an off ball help defender.
0:31 this is what makes a player elite compared to original. 2 guys had the same equal chances to block that shot, and they both stopped because they thought it waa already a done and go. Then we got Giannis who doesn't slow down a bit and makes a play
Hardaway turn around and surprise surprise Giannis balls were on his face 😅 I'm sure that never happened in his life and he also wasn't aware this could EVER happen on a NBA court
@@PiwaiGeewhat else would u have him do? not run hard and jump? he wasnt a post player or shooter but he could drive and finish, and defend now he has a championship and multiple mvps, if he fell off after today he would still be a hall of famer.
Dunking over someone who’s 6’6” MID GAME is just crazy. Shit, dunking over someone who’s 6’6” in a set up dunk contest is crazy, let alone during a game
I do not like basketball what's so ever and I don't like any of the popular basketball players in the NBA. Nor do I see basketball at all. But recently a video from insta showed a clip of Gianni's free throw that takes a long time to shoot, so I had the curiosity to see. But omg once I started seeing more highlights of Gianni's I was in an extreme shock 👀😳😲🤯 in what I was seeing oh my god! I see Gianni's as the upcoming great legend of right before Michael Jordan. I am now thinking of buying a jersey Gianni's knowing I am not a fan of basketball nor do I like to see it at all. But Man! Omg! this is a new and inspirational player that moves me to see more highlights videos of him. Wow just wow 🤯
3:35 If you told me 10 years ago you saw a guy get the ball on the opposite three-point line and take it all the way for a dunk in just one dribble, I would have said you were high watching a game of NBA Jam.
@@Okuni_ To say the least, the current rules are awful. But Giannis is a rare player that actually look good playing under the current rules, he gives a "oldschool" vibe
Love these videos, you should do one of the Charlotte Hornets announcer calls but they get increasingly excited!! I think that would be pretty entertaining, everyone knows they are the most expressive announcers in the biz
honestly that block in the NBA finals have to be one of the best block ive ever seen in my life . The instincts to stop that dunk COMING FROM A LOB is not normal .
Lol, that's actually Lisa, one of the Bucks broadcast commentators, and she broke it out because Giannis had just been named All Star Captain. a little silly out of context though
Genuinely I think it's only hardly a competition and I do believe Giannis is still the best player alive. Jokic is flashy but efficient, but Giannis is dominant, powerful and effective.
Depends on what you enjoy I guess. I personally prefer Jokic's slow is efficient, efficient is fast style over Giannis's explosiveness but I'm just glad we have two incredible players with two very different styles in the MVP race every year
@@SentientTeapot2444 i hate watching Jokic tbh. He's great but I like to watch athletic players like Giannis or ja Morant. Jokic is one of the best passers I've ever seen tho I will admit. And he can shoot like a guard
I’ll admit that Giannis got away with a foul on McCollum, but that sequence against Portland is still awesome. Plays (mostly) stifling defense on a great perimeter player, outruns everybody for the go-ahead dunk, and then blocks a legit center at the rim to finish it.
noticed from this he dunks with both hands equally nice... alot of defenders went for the right but he committed left and banged on them. I gotta see other players who dunk both hands without thinking... usually they dunk with whichever hand based on circumstance... not natural choice.
Why Giannis is so good at stopping the opponents from scoring? Because he jumps after they jump which gives him an advantage, while they are past the height of their jump he is just climbing it and has an extra time to work with the ball.
if by 2 you mean 34 then yes. Look at 4:55, he bounces it once from half court to the basket. I wish they changed the too many steps rules instead of pretending they don't exist.
Giannis jumping over a 6'6 Hardaway is still one of the craziest dunks ever
It such a shame the commentators didn't do it any justice
@@TheMarslMcFly like when LeBron jumped over John Lucas III and the commentators didn't seem to catch it

2 huge plays to beat the suns in the finals. Bro was hungry for that 🏆. Hope to see him in the finals this year🏀
We got a pretty good shot at that lol

John McInroe’s face explains it all. When one of the most animated tennis players ever is left speechless, you did something right.

3:02 I couldn’t help but cough up my Portillo’s from laughing because of how unbelievable this dude is. INCREDIBLE.
Look at Giannis man, so inspirational.
Goosebumps watching the last three plays
something about watching giannis eurostep into a dunk from the 3-point line will always astound me
bro giannis absolutely went ballistic on that first round series against detroit. like a god playing against subhumans 😂
Easily the best and most powerful likable player in the NBA
5:49 I love it when the Knicks get humiliated on their home floor like that.

not as freaky as the carry at 3:07

The crossover and then dunk on gobert face. The basket was shaking. 20 years ago would have been shuttered glass like Shaquille dunks

Giannis is a 2K EndGame card come to life.
Maybe it's just how big his strides are, but it looked like he was traveling in several of these.
It's so rare to see an Alley-oop get blocked. He is really gifted.
One similarity with stars blocking shots from behind is their team mate chasing then giving up as the star jumps some crazy spring
Nice video, these Giannis plays are crazy🔥

Thumbnail of the decade.
I love how 2 of his best plays are from The Finals. He looks like he is 10 feet tall when you see those long arms go out
Can't look forward to seeing this new duo Giannis-Dame
Now we need Greek freak plays that get increasingly more Greek
I’m convinced he’s travelling in some of these. He’s taking 2-3 steps while just holding the ball in one hand 🤷♂️
if the ball is spinning in your hand it is not a travel. look at the rule book for the nba 2023
Greek warrior 💪💪💪
That announcer seriously needs to get his butt kicked for comparing giannis to Queen James!

I think he's one of the only players in the last 10 years that we can say was an almost solo championship player.
