      It's called a "gentleman's sweep" because the gentlemanly thing to do is not end a team's season at home in front of their fans but typically the higher seeded team is the one sweeping, so game 5 would be at home.

      Wrong.

      He definitely worded it wrong. But I get what he means. Giannis isn't that fundamentally sound on offense. He doesn't even have a good post game. But what he lacks in fundamentals he makes up for in athleticism and height. For instance, his ball handling isn't that great...but he is tall, fast, and can jump. He can normally get by with not dribbling too much. But if they were to line them up and do a skills challenge he would for sure come in last place lol.

      Same with Shaq. In his prime years, he was an automatic 28 to 30 pts per game. But his offense was mostly dunks, put backs, bulldozing his way inside the basket. 10 to 15 fert away from the basket, he is harmless as a fly. And if you put him to the ft line, expect him to miss half of his ft attempts.

      @@NartelOhab but what I will say is that Shaq had at least mastered the post game. He had it all. The baby hooks, footwork, and everything. It's just when that didn't work he also just knocked them over lol. But Giannis isn't a master of anything. He's just above average at a few things coupled with being a really good athlete.
      It even took Lebron years before he got a pretty good post game. So Giannis will eventually master one of them and probably get better over time.

    Jokic and Giannis' careers are so similar. If one is in the discussion then the other has to be. Jokic is better offensively, Giannis defensively. Giannis' offense is closer to Jokic's than Jokic's defense is to Giannis', but offense tends to be more important than defense. I'd take Jokic, but pretending it isn't close is stupid

      You are correct. Giannis is closer on offence but offence is more important. Both of them healthy, its really close.
      However, you have to take availability into account. If Giannis isn't playing, he is giving 0 on offence and 0 on defense. And that creates a separation where there should be slim to none.

      How are you surprised?

Even Sakic in ice hockey and Bellichick in American football!

      Well there can't much discussion about it. Results, stats and attitude don't lie. NBA is by far the best League but in the last 15 years European basketball has step-up with it's own ecosystem, the way it views and adapts basketball, its practice and the way the game is/can be played. Ofc Jokic and Donkic talent is something special (far removed from most European players, and the Balkan region always produced great Basketball talents) but i do think that one of the best things to have ever happened to European basketball was the creation of EuroLeague and tbh the way FIBA has been handling all other competitions. It is not as grand as the NBA (and probably will never be) but it is a legit ecosystem and environment for people to become superstar players by their own right!

    I hate the Giannis conversation. Brou is doing the entire "Who I saw play last time", you wanted Jokic to force the ball and shoot? then you dont want Jokic; Giannis is not skilled and that's why he lacks behind? Go tell that to Shaq 25 years ago. What are we saying? Giannis should be in that discussion, he is not a shooter and still gives you 30+ points a night and top 2 defense in the league, what good is having better shooting if it doesnt impact scoring? you can take him down a bit for it but his defense more than makes up for that.
    It's a triple tie, and it's so close that if Luka becomes the champ he deserves that title, just like Giannis did, just like Jokic did.

    I completely agree with Nick here... its clearly a 3 man race right now.
    Giannis is at 3, cause he didnt have any PO success lately, Luka at 1, because of PO success and one of the greatest statistical seasons ever. Can you name another 33/9/9 season in NBA history... I help you, you cant! Luka created the most points EVER (points + points of assists) in the NBA this season on top of that. Ad the injury riddled season the Mavs had (153 missed games by 15+ MPG rotation players, Denver 49, OKC 39) and how the team looked when healthy (Ended the Season on a 24-7 run... one game behind Boston in that timespan) and its clear as day who shouldve won MVP.
    The difference between those 3 going forward: Luka 25, Jokic 29, Giannis 29
    So Luka should have the edge over the next 4-5 years. But I agree, at some point (if he stays healthy) Wemby will most likely take over. Will it be in 3 years, 5, dont know. But that dude is the only guy I can see winning 5 MVP's and 5 DPOY's over his career... like ever!

    This is the second time I have heard brousard use the argument that jokic is a better defender than luka cuz of his size. I think his size is exactly why he is a worse defender cuz he plays the 5(most important defensive position arguably) and is bad at it and imo if you are a bad defensive center you are more a liability than a bad defensive guard cuz you are supposed to defend the most valuable shot which is a shot at the rim.

    54:45-- Kevin, that's a great comment. Luka got an advantage this season with the additions the mavs got: Lively, Gafford, Washington. I could tell he could trust his teammates to follow up on good plays that he could create. At the same time, he could take a break every now and then because the Mavs got Irving at the right moment in his career(maturity wise). Brunson was great, but he wanted to "lead" more than to get a championship. I was skeptical about Irving, but im glad I was wrong.
