@@morlyfe He is still white he is off Italian origin most Argentinians originate from Europe its not like other Hispanic nations where its mixed Mestizo.
Reminds me of 2k when you look at player comps in player scouting and every good PF or C is Tim Duncan and then you’ll look at their ratings and they got an A+ 3😭
When doing these projections, Giannis technically wasn't yet a Greek citizen, so they were still using his Nigerian name. The family took on the Greek version of their Nigerian name when they received citizenship. Which is a common practice in a lot of places.
I was high on Derrick Williams as well.. funny enough his tweener position between a 3 and 4 would fit perfect in todays NBA, im a cavs fan and when we picked him up he played very well for us for like half a season
that’s the proper Yoruba spelling of his last name. when his family moved to Greece, it was altered to match the Greek alphabet. he talks about it in a couple of interviews
I remember when Zion was coming into the league and people were saying he'd be winning MVPs in his 2nd or 3rd seasons LOL. Don't get me wrong, when he's on the court he's one of the best in the league but the problem is getting him on the court. I still want to see him go on a deep playoff run if he could get to 230lbs he'd be fine.
I feel like you could definately go to 2018, I think ayton, bagley, luka and a lot of that class are set in their careers, some guys like Trae are still 50/50 if he's an Allstar or a superstar but 2019 I think is too early atp
Aren't the comparisons about their playstyle and not the level they are going to get to? So yeah you could get a supercharged version of Gatling that's better than a Walmart version of Pippen.
also calling kyrie pass first out of duke is the worst take. dude was a scoring guard but he was better than the pg they already had so he ran point and nolan was at 2
3:15 kenny its about there play style right? If there was a 6'6 sg who was shooting mid ranges ofc u would compare him to mj or kobe, but it doesnt mean that he is going to be that great
This clown said Jonny Flynn was a bust dude when you get injured that’s not considered a bust dawg.. if you fully healthy and projected to be one of the best then never pan out that’s a bust dude smh y’all mfs

White guy = Larry Bird
White guy under 6'9 from Europe = Manu Ginobili
White guy 6'9+ from Europe = Dirk Nowitzki
ginobli is Argentinian bro 😭
@@morlyfe I know that. Everyone knows that. Doesn't stop the scouts giving that player comp out like they're paid on commission for it.

You wanna look into Argentina's genetics@@morlyfe
Imagine if every player lived up to their hype. The league would be led by Andrew Wiggins, Ben Simmons, the Ball brothers, and Deandre Ayton
Thon Maker and Jabari with Giannis.
@@MrdonjuliothewickedGiannis wouldn’t have been used as much if Jabari was good
And there'd be a Scottie Pippen in every draft!
Its not? This is shocking news to me
LaMelo has lived up to his hype imo, yes he's always hurt but when he hasn't he made this shitty hornets team a play-in team
10:18 even more lazy Demarcus Cousins 💀
Adetokoubo is one of Giannis' names btw cause i already see people pointing it out
Adetokunbo is his actual name that was modified (or mangled) to Antetokounpo

Kenny didn’t acknowledge it but I’m not letting this slide. NBA Draft Room compared Luke Babbitt to AK47 😭 all time miss
Luke babbitt was low key nice the. I used to go off with him on 2k
Luke Babbitt was from my home town and boy could that comparison or be further from his play style lol
The him about draft comparisons is that they should reflect their play style not necessarily how good they’ll be
1:10 why does harden look like d mills and mike combined
😂😂😂😂
Yo Kenny can u please make an ncaa 25 series on this series when it comes out
Irving was never pass first. I'm not sure where they got that scouting report from. I've watched him since high school.
Yeah, that was weird. Dude was always getting buckets
funniest one by FAR is Marquis Teague's comp being a better version of his own brother
I was high on Derrick Williams as well.. funny enough his tweener position between a 3 and 4 would fit perfect in todays NBA, im a cavs fan and when we picked him up he played very well for us for like half a season
Love the vids Kenny!
Great vid Kenny you should do another one of these
Been waiting for this video since you first mentioned you were working on it few weeks ago
Tobias Harris getting compared to Charles Barkley is especially painful for Sixers fans after this year's playoffs.
Giannis Adetokoubo. We finally found someone more dyslexic than Kenny
There's really no right way of spelling antetokounmpo's name.
That’s the Nigerian version of his name
Thats how his name is spelled in the Yaruba tribe in Nigeria where his last name comes from.
Giannis actually wore a jacket with his name spelled like that a couple of years back at all star weekend
that’s the proper Yoruba spelling of his last name. when his family moved to Greece, it was altered to match the Greek alphabet. he talks about it in a couple of interviews
Bring the part 2 broskiiiiiii
The LeBron James draft comparison to Anthony Bennett is wild
I love looking at these in my free time 😂
More draft content Kenny please
I would love to see more of these.
personality aside, a latrell sprewell comp for bradley beal is pretty spot on
Once again draft day comparisons are NOT comparing what they think the rooks career will be like, it's simply comparing playstyle
True but it’s wild to be throwing around names like pippen or ginobili
Kyle single got Shane battier comp. kinda breaks mold
I’m hoping Chase Budinger will be playing in the Olympics next month.
has there ever been a white guy compared to a black player
never been this early to a kenny vid
Kenny when we gon get that 2k series bro bro
Lmao great video guy
8:48 which is crazy cuz for his era Scottie was a great shooter
I remember when Zion was coming into the league and people were saying he'd be winning MVPs in his 2nd or 3rd seasons LOL. Don't get me wrong, when he's on the court he's one of the best in the league but the problem is getting him on the court. I still want to see him go on a deep playoff run if he could get to 230lbs he'd be fine.
I don’t always comment but I do for Kenny
They went back and edited their mocks drafts and changed comparisons weaknesses and strengths to act like they were the best scouts ever
90s and 2000s would be good decades to do
They had James hardens defense scouted as elite….. we were in very different times
Changing the mock draft 10 years later could just be spelling mistakes 😅
I feel like you could definately go to 2018, I think ayton, bagley, luka and a lot of that class are set in their careers, some guys like Trae are still 50/50 if he's an Allstar or a superstar but 2019 I think is too early atp
Draymond and world peace. Perfect comparison
Deshawn Stevenson being compared to MJ is an all time flop SMH
2:50 ekpe udoh was a super reach by us and the last pick before joe lacob bought the warriors. It was still our incompetent front office/ownership
Aren't the comparisons about their playstyle and not the level they are going to get to? So yeah you could get a supercharged version of Gatling that's better than a Walmart version of Pippen.
Dedication and humility are the keys to your success. Keep shining.

Try a 14-17!!
What website is that?
as an aussie, wtf did luc longley do to you besides win chips for your team
to be fair to wes johnson and his comps he was a good scorer in college
That spelling on Giannis is disrespectful 😂
I was a Perry Jones believer
😭 good god they compared Bismarck to Ibaka and Ben Wallace three completely different play styles but we know why
I’m sure draymond saw this comparison back in the day and it’s what motivated him to be what he is today 😂😂
PART 2
Derrick Williams would definitely be better in the small ball era
Here’s a video idea. NBA draft bust that could have shined if drafted by a different team.
Anyone who was drafted by the Kings
We want to see 14-23
Need to simulate Victor Oladipo’s career from the start and get him into the Hall of Fame
They do the same thing still. If you're a defensive wing that needs a jumper, you're compared to Kawhi.
We want #1 overall alex Len rebuild
A nice Latrell sprewell
Less talented chris bosh is CRAZY wording
The worst one I ever seen was Zhaire Smith being compared to Michael Jordan 💀
We want a part 2❤️❤️
also calling kyrie pass first out of duke is the worst take. dude was a scoring guard but he was better than the pg they already had so he ran point and nolan was at 2
jeremy lamb was really just like TMAC…. in 2k14
Bizzy for ben Wallace in that 2011 draft 🤣
jeremy lamb was tmac in 2k
Put some respect on Luc Longley's name!
7:25 am i tweakin or does tobias harris of all people have CHARLES BARKLEY as a comp
Draymond green ron artest was dead on😂😂
Wenny Weecham
NBA draft net compared Kawhi to Luc Mbah a moute
3:15 kenny its about there play style right? If there was a 6'6 sg who was shooting mid ranges ofc u would compare him to mj or kobe, but it doesnt mean that he is going to be that great
Want more
So basically the thumbnail Is just because he white with long hair ain’t it 💀💀

Yo
This clown said Jonny Flynn was a bust dude when you get injured that’s not considered a bust dawg.. if you fully healthy and projected to be one of the best then never pan out that’s a bust dude smh y’all mfs
Hi
Perseverance and humility make your channel stand out. Congrats!

Hasheem thabeet should’ve been a Dikembe type of player but of course he sucked ass
Yessir
Holy I’m Early

Bruh ekpe udoh was not great in the league he was striaght trash
First Comment!!! Let's go Kenny
You realize that black players are only being compared to black players too right? Lol
1 view in 54 sec bro fell off
Create a creative comment
You should do a 2k rebuild and actually make those draftees become their draft day comparisons and see how it changes the league
