    The two are incomparable skillwise. 2019 Giannis really was one dimensional compared to 2021 Giannis, certainly wasn't as clutch.

    Pretty crazy how people forget that this championship Bucks team lost to a KD-Kyrie Nets team by 50, way back in game 2 of that series lmao

    Dude, they were up 2-0. They had a chance to win game 4 being up most of the game. How about everyone accepts that Suns also didn't come through when it mattered? CP3 was able to put up multiple 40 points games in elimination games. Booker played real good. Even Ayton did well the first few games.

    The Suns were good enough to win the championship. They lost but I'd argue that the teams were evenly matched. Bucks won because they had players show up when it mattered.

    To be fair, as good as Tucker's defense should have been, he was carried on defense by Holiday, Portis and Giannis.

    Like the numbers he put up in every game is insane. We've not seen a finals performance like this in some time.

    Malika did a good job on those interviews. Poor Rachel fumbled the bag.

    Congrats to the Bucks. I was wrong about Giannis but not as wrong as Harden.

    And if are being real, Phoenix just wasnt built to guard him. Clippers, Utah,Sixers, Miami and the Lakers are all far better equipped to guard them. Even the Nets guarded the Bucks better than Phoenix did.

    Likely...but winning a ring gives you a lot of credibility with FAs and guys that want to be traded. It also raises the value of all the players you have on your team.

    i still don’t think he has it in him…

    But if anything the concept of Mobley as Giannis not Ayton, slightly slower but can actually shoot… is more intriguing post this series.

    man, I have no idea what motivates harden. I still remember when Matt Barnes disrespected his mother at a game and harden came out the next game with no fire. I wonder if humiliation will be the catalyst.. I hope not, I want those picks, lol

    The predictability of certain posters making certain posts is astounding. And they claim that the other guys are obsessed with a certain someone. lol

    Giannis had an awesome finals.
