Going back to the murder anaolgy, very few premeditated murderer would be caught holding a gun over his victim. If the goal is to prove or disprove whether Giannis is a dirty player intentionally injuring Kyrie, not being caught looking at Kyrie's feet would be expected just like not catching the murderer with a gun in his hand would be expected. That's why pointing out Giannis not looking at Kyrie's feet is not relevant just like noting a guy not holding a gun in a murder case in vast majority cases tells you close to nothing.
Honestly, if the officials called him for travelling, palming, pushing off, or charging, he would score 6ppg. I hate watching him because he has an undeveloped skillet which is permitted to be elite due to no-calls. Good thing Middleton is carrying him to a championship!!
Wasn’t a fan of Shaq. Not a fan of Giannis. Brute force ballers just aren’t my cup o tea. Doesn’t mean they can’t be damn effective. And if they aren’t brain dead they can be awesome players. Sorry Westbrook…
I wish you had the time to provide us a video with this evidence. I'm talking break down a couple of games that defends this stance of yours. It's pretty damn extreme.
Really? Watch his left arm when he is driving with a defender on him. He is allowed to have the arm raised as an arm bar, but cannot extend. He extends frequently. Count his steps after he gathers, watch his feet before he dribbles. Granted, he isn't Robinson Crusoe on this issue, but his footwork is sloppy and poor fundamentally (Hakeem must vomit every time he sees it) Watch defenders get set in front of him, barrelled to the ground, and called for blocks. Palming - again, not Robinson Crusoe, but umm.... I could probably make you a video from todays game of all 4 quite easily, but I am pathetically inept when it comes to video making, apologies!
Well, here's his highlights from games 3 and 5 of this Finals series...and none of those things you mentioned, happened. Have those things happened in past games, even this season? Absolutely. But in the sport's biggest stage, it hasn't happened. The only thing people can ding Giannis on, is his FTs.
It’s actually not. How can I argue with you if I don’t know which plays you’re speaking of? I missed game 3 and 4. But there are bad calls in every game.
I understand what you're saying. The probabilities don't change by pointing out something that was a virtual certainty anyway. But I don't agree with the assumption that it was virtually certain, or even to be expected, that Giannis wouldn't look or even glance in Kyrie's direction while intentionally trying to hurt him. I think there's a fair chance he would do so, especially absent any other obvious unnatural movements on his part.

Giannis to Harden. If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the East I live out there, so don't go there
Giannis actually shows up when it matters. Your franchise player needs to drop historic numbers in these kind of games. Harden shows up short everytime when we need him to drop 50 in the playoffs.
U got that right. Much better than step back miss 3s. Imagine if he actually consistent with free throws and jumpers. I guess there will never be a near perfect player like Jordan.
Wasn’t a fan before, but I am now. He’s stamped. His motor and will to win impressed me the most. Literally this dude is like a giant sized Westbrook with a brain because he knows his limitations and plays within himself.
See what happens when you just try to make the bucket and don't try to game the system? NBA Champion. DD
Giannis absolutely took his game to the next level in the biggest moment. He was absolutely unstoppable tonight, and deserves the championship.
