  • Why Do Former NBA Players Hate On Giannis?
    This Video:
    Gilbert Arenas recently came out and said some very… interesting things about Giannis Antetokounmpo. But this only continues to add on to the disrespect he continues to recieve from current and former NBA players. Why do they hate on Giannis and say these dumb things, is it xenophobia? In the case of Arenas I definitely wouldn’t rule that out. But this video even includes a bad take from Channing Frye and LeBron James after what they said about Giannis. These are some ridiculous takes that just keep adding on to the disrespect that the NBA’s best player is getting.

    About Me:
    I am a 19 year old basketball fanatic who enjoys creating TH-cam videos. I've been watching the NBA for a decade now, as I first became a huge fan of Derrick Rose and the Chicago Bulls. I also have become a big fan of Kevin Durant, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Trae Young, along with many other great NBA players. You can expect one high quality video every single week on this channel to be uploaded on Friday at 7:00 PM EST, keep on hooping!

      Y'all so funny with that. You do realize that everyone in the NBA was literally one of the best ever to play basketball where they're from, hence the reason they're in the NBA.
      So KD winning with the Warriors means nothing. He still had to put in the work. And for everyone saying how much of a fluke that championship was..... Well the Warrior's were DOWN with KD against Houston. So please stop.

      @@NeverGoFullRetard415 I don't mean it like that. It's more like how Dirks 1 ring means so much. Because he stayed with Dallas and they built a team around him and won it all. Giannis proved he can be that guy with his chip, and that's a rare level of player. KD has proven it in other ways, but his rings with the warriors don't mean as much as what Giannis did imo

Imagine a team with 3 all time great shooters, the best defender, the best pg, 2 of 3 top 3 players in the world and the greatest spot up shooter since Ray allen who can also guard anyone 1-3. Oh and on top of that the best scorer since kobe who can also lock up anyone except a dominant post scorer. If they lost to Houston they would be the biggest failure in basketball

Maybe not on Twitter or in comments but as far as making the nba, gettin paid and having a good career. There’s no xenophobia.

People hate Curry because he’s a light skinned nice guy that came from a upper middle class background who they feel may have got a “easy” path to the NBA.

    • @felixronkainen8880
      @felixronkainen8880 ปีที่แล้ว +35

      I think Embiid gets more love than the other three because:
      1. He played NCAA basketball
      2. His name is easy to pronounce and vaguely sounds like it COULD be American
      Those things are obviously super shallow, but they play a big role in a player's perceived marketability by the media titans like ESPN. More media coverage inevitably leads to more likability by casual fans and more clout within NBA discourse in general.

      It’s because he played in college and was friends with wiggins the number 1 pick . Giannis just turned up the league with no promise then took his place by force !
      And then he openly refused them .
      He wants to beat them and uses that unfamiliarity as fuel .

      Giannis has everything except a cool name, a flashy playstyle and a big market team, he looks good, he is charismatic and funny, he has an elite work ethic, great durability and perform well in the playoffs, i swear if he was even from a Big European country like France he would be a superstar, just watch Victor Wenbayama i have no doubt if he become half as good as Giannis he will be a superstar

    To me Giannis is the anti-kobe. Kobe was ultra serious (at least the media perceived him that way) in regards to the mamba mentality stuff. Giannis is wholesome as fuck but people mistake that for being soft. Kobe was an all time great and an era defining player but some take that too far. Kobe is not top 3 player of all time but based on media narratives many people will put him up there. Giannis is also an era defining player and will likely end his career in a lot peoples top ten lists however I fear he won't get his due because of the way the media treats him.

    Giannis's ring counts for more than any championship since the 2011 mavs. Small market, big star, stayed and built his team. His 1 championship means more than KD's 2 rings.

  • @yunan9610
    @yunan9610 ปีที่แล้ว +16

    The comments related to his skill are likely coming from the fact that Giannis is a big man that plays like a guard, but he doesn't shoot pullup jumpers and do some other guard stuff like for example, KD. The trend of dissing his skills are usually coming from perimeter players. If Giannis played like traditional power forward or center he wouldn't have been hated as much. Giannis overlaps with their role but doesn't play like them, so they looked down on him. It threathens their ego because he had success without having the same skillset that they practiced.

    • @mwangikimani3970
      @mwangikimani3970 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      , Best comment here. The criticism is due to the fact that this 7ft athletic freak plays like a guard in transition. They feel that he unfairly rides on his physical talent not his skill.
      People are generally mean and unfair when they feel threatened. Very true.

  • @halion4487
    @halion4487 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I think part of the reason is that he directly goes in the face of the narrative that ex-players claim that they were bigger, stronger and tougher than the players today. Giannis worked his ass off, went from skinny as all hell to one of the most built players in the league, and now bully’s some of the best defensive players of today. He’s come back from ankle sprains and other injuries like it’s nothing. He epitomizes the physical style of basketball older players claim to be missing from today’s game. Giannis would beat them at there own game, and they don’t like that.
    The other thing is that Giannis is good at everything those older players valued. Defence? Check. Slashing? Check. Finishing? Check. Leading? Check. He’s a poor shooter, but the 80s and 90s didn’t value shooters much, so the past players can’t criticize him for that, as they also weren’t good shooters. Hence why they have so many nonsensical arguments. They can’t validly critique him over anything without being hypocrites, so they flounder and comment on his toughness and work ethic, when he’s a league leader in both.

      Yes I agree it's just that these Americans are not used to real basketball. Imagine saying that a European basketball player like Giannis does not understand the game when here we teach real basketball iq to our players not the flashy bullshit these arrogant assholes are used to. They are pressed because European players are showing them how the real game is played. I agree Giannis, Jokic and Doncic the best players in the NBA and then it's Curry the only good US player for me..And that's not being biased as a Greek.

And Lebron has these records like “Longest consecutive games played with 10+ points” OF COURSE he gonna play just to keep that streak alive lmao, even if he has to statpad and stay in meaningless blowouts to get those 10+ points.

I am willing to say that within the next 7-8 years the bottom end of the top 10 and the high end of 10-20 (Steph, Kobe, Durant, Russell, Wilt etc) could be about to move down. Giannis is the best player in the world, and his peak is one of the highest we've ever seen. Only thing he needs is to maintain his prime.
