The organization deserves a lot of credit they borrowed a lot of ideas on how to build a championship-caliber franchise from a small market from the San Antonio Spurs.
@C. Fair Lakers have been bad the last few years along with Spurs with Leonard Situation. I rather take the Bucks 10-19 year than Spurs and Lakers 10-19 year.
Announcer: @1:01 “and as he gets more experience you’ll see more of these type plays from him” 4-5 years later and his specialty is those type of plays lol
His three point jump shot looked a lot smoother back then compared to now, interestingly. His best year as a three point shooter was his rookie year non coincidentally. Obviously he became elite at every other part of the game though.
Tim Rodd is correct cause back then(as u can see) he was skinnier and therefore not as strong. Now he is muscular af and therefore is much stronger and making it harder to control the power o his shot
When I was in highschool our coach always made us go do shooting drills routinely everyday we work out our upper body. If you build a bunch of muscle then naturally you'll have to adjust your shot to a certain degree
middleton, giannis and illosova has been playing together for years in order to be the best season team the past years. Other teams need to look at this and understand that development is the most important process in sports...not just pure talent will lead to success.
Lol. NBA fans toxic. They are programmed to belittle and be nasty to others for their basketball knowledge, the team they support, and the players they support.
Too much time in the weight room, without doing something like yoga to supplement the weight training. 🤔 Also, I don't remember hearing his name either before this season or the season before. 🤔 Definitely not 3 seasons ago. ESPN need to stop talking about the same few players. 😶
@@luckyaces2487 I would have to say that Giannis probably decided to get stronger for the drive ins and to deal with injuries over jumpshots. He's only 26 though so here's to hoping that he still builds an all around game, cuz once he gets older he wont be able to take that beating from the inside.
To be fair how many young stars sign two extensions with their team? AD signed one, Lebron with Cleveland the first time signed one, Kd signed one. Giannis signed two extensions with the Milwaukee. It’s up to these star players to stay or go. Of course these teams are developing them but it helps that Giannis didn’t have the threat of him leaving looming
Duncan did have a consistent jump shot lol. He scored tonnes of his points from the mid range and high post. Giannis will win anywhere he goes. The bucks don't have anything right now that will give him the tools to contend. He might need to leave to find success. Maybe when his contract expires in 2020 he could go to a team that is currently an up and comer that might have the assets to compete with Giannis by then like the Suns, Nuggets, Jazz or Mavericks
That shot was quick and smooth,omg what could of been if he still had that shot today. He’s at the peak of his prime now and his shot just packed his bags and headed out and said bye . If giannis had that shot today could of been over for the league.
this young buck will win a MVP one day, but man this rookie came a long way from that season to now tho , no one really believed a kid from Greece would actually be an amazing superstar
Giannis came a long way a 2 time all star, most improved player, top 10 player in the nba, and led the bucks to two straight playoffs.it's either giannis or anthony davis to win mvp this season
Wow after all those years together with hard work. And that's why after they had won the 2021 Championship, in Giannis' speech he points to him "Chris we did it, we f*#%*n did it!"😊🏆👏
Even during his rookie year he was really interesting. That time when nba action was asking the people from the street to pronounce his name or to come up with a nickname for him "the alphabet" was somethig that stood out then or that time he ran all the way to the arena. Proud of where he is now
Who is here after he carried the Bucks to a championship 🙋averaging 30/10/5 and destroying everyone in game 6. Pretty impressive for a guy who can only run and jump 🤷.
I remember playing 2k14, and playing with the bucks. I saw Giannis, and of course I didn’t know how to pronounce his name at the time, but when I played as him, I said “This guy is going to be a beast one day.” I’m so glad that he’s gotten the recognition he deserves because he is an incredible player and a great guy. He will always be one of my favorite players
Lol I remember scoring 40 with him as a 60ovr too. It was the 360 version of 2k14 tho. I too became a believer of giannis really early, but not cuz of the game, because you could see his insane potential during his rookie year
I'm a bucks fan who's been watching giannis since his rookie year and honestly it wasn't necessarily his length/freaky athleticism that made me believe he could be good it was his competitive fire at such a young age that all the greats have. I'm not saying I knew he was gonna be this good but he had such a fire about him that made me believe there was no way he wouldn't eventually become at least an all star.
Facts hes really competitve you can see it in the all star game he wants to win like westbrook and jimmy butler from what ive seen of people who show competitive vibe i see something in mitchell too
I thought he was gonna be good the first time I saw him play against my rockets in his rookie season, I had no idea he was gonna turn into a fucking super saiyan
Just like the first guy said , he built muscle so his muscle memory on his shit is practically gone . He added muscle so the shit requires a whole different mechanism then it did before
From what Giannis said, Jason kid kinda ruined it. The first year told Giannis not to shoot at all. The next year to make some shots and when the 4th year gave him the pass to do whatever he wants he had already lost his confidence. Now he is trying to get it back
Look at his shooting form and everything else here, he literally GREW from a 6 8 natural 2 guard who could create as a rookie to a behemoth. Free throw thing and shooting is mental for sure. Shooting coach can help that
They developed Giannis and Middleton for eight years...the Bucks absolutely deserve to make this Finals trip and hopefully they win it all.
About to be 5 games in with them having won 2 and both of them having a 40 pt game 🙏
U are a damn FOOL lmfao. Middleton IS A BALLER .....giannis IS NOT though. Way too overrated and they deserve to win....if its against a good Healthy team.

Giannis and Middleton is what happens when you build a team and stick with the plan.
Thats the whole point of team management
The organization deserves a lot of credit they borrowed a lot of ideas on how to build a championship-caliber franchise from a small market from the San Antonio Spurs.
No crud.
Same thing GS did before KD.
you forgot to mention that water is still wet

His three point jump shot looked a lot smoother back then compared to now, interestingly. His best year as a three point shooter was his rookie year non coincidentally. Obviously he became elite at every other part of the game though.
I think its because he gained so much height and muscle hes still not as coordinated when it comes to shooting as back then
Tim Rodd is correct cause back then(as u can see) he was skinnier and therefore not as strong. Now he is muscular af and therefore is much stronger and making it harder to control the power o his shot
When I was in highschool our coach always made us go do shooting drills routinely everyday we work out our upper body. If you build a bunch of muscle then naturally you'll have to adjust your shot to a certain degree
Jason Kidd really hindered his jump shot too. Kidd didn't let him shoot any threes and it messed with his psyche.
Y'all dumb. because of his wingspan got longer
Giannis and Middleton been on the Bucks for so long, they were even there when they wore the Chicago Bulls jerseys 😂😂😂
That's the Michael Redd jersey
Giannis and Middleton. Been a long time coming, well deserved champs!

Smaller but not shorter
He was definitely shorter and smaller
He did grow 2 inches in his rookie year.
No we see the potential of being a shooter. Anyway Giannis is a beast he 'll make his shots I m sure.
Funny how this pops up right after he gets his ring. What a difference in size from then to now.

His jumpshot used to be so smooth
For sure, his set point was also much lower
and he shot 34.7% from 3 in his rookie season. Maybe he needs to change his 3 point mechanics back?
Too much time in the weight room and bigger muscles will alter your motion, he needs to do more flexible workouts to balance it out.
