  • In the summer of 2021 Giannis Antetokounmpo was at the top of the basketball world. After receiving the MVP in both 2019 and 2020 the last thing Giannis needed was a title and he captured that by defeating the Phoenix Suns in 6 games. At the time Giannis was considered by most as the league's best player and that would continue until the Bucks were upset by the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2023 playoffs. Nikola Jokic would then have his historic playoff run taking out that same Miami Heat team in the NBA finals and ever since then he has now been considered the league's best player despite Giannis still be as dominant as ever. Today we talk about how Giannis lost his spot as the NBA's best player and how it has gotten to the point where he is a bit underrated.

      And he made the jump to a truly elite playmaker. Before he was merely good, but at this point, he's up at the very top of the league. Its just so hard to win another MVP when your last MVP was quite literally arguably the greatest of all time if you played a full season.

      Jesus loves you❤️ and He wants you to have eternal life,do you want to be saved?
      Here's how to be saved:
      1.The bad news:we are sinners and because of our sin we are separated from God and deserve punishment in hell because of our sins
      We are sinners in need of a Savior
      (Romans 3:23"): “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”)
      2.The good news:Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins,He was buried & rose from the dead to give you eternal life through Him.Jesus took away our punishment for sin and bridged the gap between humans and God.Jesus is the only way,truth and life no one goes to the Father except through Him.
      Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.”
      1 corinthians 15:3-4For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
      3.How can you be saved?
      You are saved by the grace of God through faith alone in Jesus and not of your own (good) works,acts 16:31Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Cast yourself upon Him. Trust in His blood that He shed on the cross for your forgiveness of sins and His resurrection which has the power to remove your sins and to replace them with the perfect righteousness of Christ.
      John 3:16:God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
      Romans 10:9: “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
      Romans 10:10: “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
      Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lords will be saved
      Put your faith and trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior and *repent* of your sins(no longer living for yourself or what the flesh desires or for worldly things but now live for Christ through the Holy Spirit)

    It’s because we haven’t seen a fully healthy Bucks team in the playoffs since 2021. Giannis missed games in both the Heat 2023 and Pacers 2024 series that they lost. And last time he was healthy, he lost a 7 game series without Middleton against Boston in 2022.
    Giannis is definitely still amazing and more underrated now. People shouldn’t be counting out a healthy Bucks team so quickly. And I say all this as a Celtics fan.

      Agree, most people only care about the playoffs and kind of rightfully so, so it makes sense that Giannis' stock has dropped so much since he's missed so much time. A more extreme case would be PG and especially kawhi. Even a great full series in a loss could help people acknowledge him again.

    One thing to say about the Adriain Griffin firing. Not advocating for his firing at all here and it is still crazy that they fired him 43 games into his head coaching career when they were doing relatively fine. But there is a lot of revisionist history with that record. Everyone was complaining about griffin's bad schemes and failure to win the locker room during the first half of the season. When the bucks defense plummeted everyone was complaining about how griffin was using lopez and giannis. In reality they won a lot of games based on the sheer talent of giannis and dame etc. still doesn't explaining how they fired him when the team was the 2 seed 48 games into his career but just want to point out that it was a very rocky start to a head coaching job

      As a Bucks fan who watched them go down in flames in 2023, Bud absolutely deserved to get fired. I truly give my condolences to his family, but that doesn't excuse the basic mistakes he was making. Haven't watched the series since it actually happened, so some of my statements might be a little off, but they are all genuine and its only the games that I might get wrong.
      In game 4 or 5, the Bucks were leading by double digits coming down the stretch in the 4th, and then the Heat started to go on a run, and Bud ONLY called a timeout after Butler got a fast break dunk and took the lead.
      He continued to refuse to make adjustments for who was defending Butler who was torching Holiday. Jrue was just too small and too tired to guard Jimmy, and when Giannis came back especially, he shouldn't have been the main defender on him.
      He continued to let Jrue take way too many shots as he burned down our offense. Most people don't realize that Middleton played the best basketball of his season in the series, but instead of making him the focal point, Jrue was getting the same amount of shots as Middleton. Keep in mind, Lopez also tied (or passed, can't remember) his career high in playoff single game scoring this series, but wasn't used nearly as much as he should have offensively when Giannis was out. Speaking of Bud failing to use Lopez, remember when Lopez was NOT in the game and it allowed Butler to force OT?
      He just absolutely failed to call timeouts in crucial moments. Two stand out, and they were both in game 5 iirc. The first was when Butler hit that insane lob to force OT. There was still 2-3 seconds left on the clock and Milwaukee had a time out, but Bud just let Milwaukee dribble out the clock instead of actually getting a play constructed. Then, in OT, the Heat go up (can't even remember how it happened) and instead of calling a TO, he just lets the Bucks go and it results in GRAYSON ALLEN getting the ball and DRIVING INSIDE, passing on an open mid range shot, to do some stupid eurostep that he misses AFTER the shot clock already expired. What an absolute circus that Bud was largely responsible for. Holiday sucked too, and Giannis failed at the FT line and handling the ball, but at the end of the day, Bud and Jrue's failures were the biggest issues and that's why they got chopped.
      And also, keep in mind the idea of Bud not making adjustments was around long before this and if they didn't win in 2021, he was gone. Jrue also never had a good offensive post season in Milwaukee, even in 2021.

    It is Ironic that the bucks only made it to the 2021 championship thanks to their opponents stars getting injured and since then the only thing preventing them from reaching another championship round has been consistent injuries to their star players in the post season. I am not saying it’s Karma or something like that as I think they have been contenders especially in 2022 and 2023, it just goes to show you how much has to go right for team to make it to the mountain top let alone do it again.

    Giannis is at worst the third best player in the league, but in the playoffs his game just doesn't feel as dominant. Teams like the Heat, the Celtics or Toronto in 2019 limited his production by just putting bodies between him and the basket and forcing him to take outside shots and free throws.
    I think he needs to improve his post game and maybe start playing the 5 more like AD to reach the top again.

      Jesus loves you❤️ and He wants you to have eternal life,do you want to be saved?
      Here's how to be saved:
      1.The bad news:we are sinners and because of our sin we are separated from God and deserve punishment in hell because of our sins
      We are sinners in need of a Savior
      (Romans 3:23"): “for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God”)
      2.The good news:Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins,He was buried & rose from the dead to give you eternal life through Him.Jesus took away our punishment for sin and bridged the gap between humans and God.Jesus is the only way,truth and life no one goes to the Father except through Him.
      Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in[a] Christ Jesus our Lord.”
      1 corinthians 15:3-4For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures,
      3.How can you be saved?
      You are saved by the grace of God through faith alone in Jesus and not of your own (good) works,acts 16:31Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved. Cast yourself upon Him. Trust in His blood that He shed on the cross for your forgiveness of sins and His resurrection which has the power to remove your sins and to replace them with the perfect righteousness of Christ.
      John 3:16:God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
      Romans 10:9: “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
      Romans 10:10: “For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.”
      Romans 10:13 “Everyone who calls on the name of the Lords will be saved
      Put your faith and trust in Jesus as your Lord and Savior and *repent* of your sins(no longer living for yourself or what the flesh desires or for worldly things but now live for Christ through the Holy Spirit)

Giannis scores almost as much, and is FAR more efficient. Luka is a better offensive player, but Giannis’s defense makes him the better overall player.

    The reason why giannis is "underrated" is that he isn't as skilled as other big men look at Anthony Davis, Jokic, Embiid. They all have deep bags, Giannis is just a rim runner. And the only year he ended up winning a ring he barely beat a nets team without kyrie and a banged up harden who shouldn't even have played in that series. And even in the next round when he played the hawks Trae young got injured I have no clue why it isn't talked about people say the lakers ring is mickey if anything the bucks ring is "mickey" ever since he played healthy teams he's done nothing. And that one year the raptors exposed him all u need are big guys who can crowd the rim, because he can't shoot he's just a rim runner....

      Right off the bat, Giannis Antetokounmpo is a better player than Anthony Davis. Availability first and foremost, but also efficiency, defense, peak, overall career. It's not a fair comparison and hasn't been for some years now. Sorry for AD, but injuries really fucked him up beyond repair.
      Embiid and Jokic are more fair comparisons. Each of them has something that the other cannot replicate. Jokic is the best point center that's ever graced the game, an offensive maestro and an advanced stats darling. Embiid is the best scorer among the three and can be both a back to the basket traditional center and a midrange threat. Giannis is the best defender and athlete among the three, not to mention the best finisher at the rim.
      2019 Giannis was 24. Very much still developing. Who was winning and carrying their team at that age? Jordan wasn't. Lebron wasn't. The Raptors were better coached and had a more experienced team, and the Bucks crumbled
      In 2021, Giannis missed a game in the ECF because he was injured too. He bounced back and dropped 51 in game 6 of the finals. NOW IMAGINE IF HE WAS SKILLED!

    I think people’s expectation was astronomically high when Giannis won his first title, and it was a little bit unrealistic. As such, I could see how Giannis would get scrutinized a lot from a mile away.

    Idc how you order them. Giannis is a top 3 player. There are only 2 players that I will have a discussion on being better than him and that's Jokic and Luka. Personally I say Jokic is the best in the league
