Giannis had EASIEST Path to Title EVER

[pavyracer]

It wasn't easy. At some point he hurt his knee and missed 4 games. They beat a Hawks team that destroyed the Knicks and 76ers. If Young didn't get hurt they could have lost.

Phoenix was the superior team in the West and if the Clippers or Lakes or Nuggets won the West Giannis would have dominated them too.

Guess our opinion doesn't matter at this point, does it? The guy has his ring and that's the end of story.

True

Because people are simpletons and need things to be black and white. Giannis has ring, end of story. Cp3 no ring, choker.

People are generally incapable of thinking beyond a false dichotomy

Whether it was 'easy' or not, the point is, all of these teams suck and would get destroyed by former champions, runner-ups, and probably 2nd & 3rd seeds of the past.

big props for a star to win a championship with orchestrating a super team

that is the sad part of the nba... fans/media dwell on championships even though it's a TEAM SPORT

and even with that, robert horry has 7 championships and no hall of fame... here's another weird stat, people thought horry was so clutch in the playoffs... one of those playoffs he went 2-38 on 3 pointers!

Dammmmm thats a good stat, didnt know that

Who do you think was the most clutch playoff player outside of MJ? Shaq, Hakeem, KD, Curry??? Im just throwin out random names

And congrats to yall mm, I was half trollin with this thread. Half srs, half devils advocate... I have three difft personalities, hence the 150%

KLC, that's awesome. Remember the old line:

"If this guy wins a championship, he'll never pay for a meal in this city."

It's happening!

[TheMoneyShot]

You guys have to admit... this was the most boring NBA playoffs in a VERY LONG TIME. I see where Krak is going with this. If Leonard was healthy for the Clips... they beat the Suns... and at least you have experienced Playoff personnel on both squads Clippers VS Bucks... would of been a better Finals.

I still say Leonard is a bum though... don't even get me started on that a-hole. For a guy built like a Mack Truck... he sure does go down like Glass Joe from Mike Tyson's Punch Out lol

not sure, but all those guys are great players

everyone probably has their own biases, based on teams/players they like... i would definitely throw kobe in the mix

lebron might be the greatest player of all time, but nobody would pick him to take the last shot in crunch time like they would for mj/kobe

sometimes it's a really small sample size, and a shot or two bouncing differently changes the perception

people remember the kd foot on the line in bucks/nets game 7... but they don't remember how god awful the nets were in ot, durant went 0-5, harden went 0-2, harris 0-2

Funny thing is the Nets were awful but still actually outplayed the Bucks in that OT. They had like 4 or 5 wide open shots they just bricked. Durant got a pass because he basically played the entire game and was probably gassed. Harden and Harris were useless the entire game so nothing changed for the OT.

yeah i agree

combination of decent defense and guys being tired, but wow a game 7 and the ot was 6-2 and 2 of those were free throws... so a combined 6 points in 5 minutes!

Giannis has NEVER been to culver's. The staff would be stunned if he walked in.

first part isn't true, but second part is true

giannis loves himself some junk food, i think he eats even more pizza than i do

[IBetYou]

Guy's still parading his trophy around Greece with his entire family in toe. THey've got serious forrest fires going on over there and it's all about him LOL. Very proud guy. I thought he said he'd work on his game? Their chances of repeating are nil if he doesn't improve his skillset.

Bucks are going to have a hard season I think.

[play4win]

yea for sure, he beat labronze in that category which is very hard to beat.
anyway he gonna fade way. good luck
