Bucks: Giannis should be an MVP candidate instead of Harden

[Kawhitstorm]

No, he isn't.

Yes, he is.

[DAF86]

Yes, he is.

Giannis isn't the defensive anchor that Garnett was. Let the greek freak get his team over .500, in one of the worst conference of all time, before calling him better than a top 50 player of all time, tbh.

Dummy, I said 22 yr old Garnett who only made the All-NBA 3rd team & was Paul Millsap status at that point of his career. (Garnett was a better defender but Giannis is a better playmaker/scorer so it evens out)

The only player in NBA history to be as good a rebounder/playmaker/shot-blocker/thief as Giannis has been this season is Garnett during his MVP season: http://bkref.com/tiny/vhbE3

The next closest player is PEAK Admiral: http://bkref.com/tiny/oyTWi

Once his body develops, he's going to be a 4 like Anthony Davis so his shooting won't be that much of an issue b/c he will be blowing past defenders.

In today's NBA the 4 needs to shoot, tbh. And no, he won't be blowing past defenders, if defenders give him a 5 foot cushion 'cause he can't shot, tbh. He might put good numbers in the regular season, but in the playoffs when defenses stiffen up he will need a jumpshot to open up things for him.

Rondo didn't have a problem getting to the rim when he had turbo speed & actually dominated in the postseason.

Rondo? Are you really bringing up Rondo to try and help Giannis case?

Rondo got injured when he was entering his prime & the Big 3 were getting phased out otherwise he would have been like John Wall.

He was the 2nd best player in the East during the 2012 playoffs where the Celtics almost upset the Heat even w/ Ray Allen playing like 2013 Turnobili: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...s-vs-heat.html



He also gave MVP Rose the business during that season:



The best player on the Celtics when they beat the Cavs in 2010 was also Rondo: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...cavaliers.html



Playoffs Rondo was REAL:

So Giannis ceiling is winning a championship as the 4th or 5th best player of his team, have a couple of stat padding seasons and be a cancer for the rest of his career. Gotcha.
