Damn
MVP x3
Hell ya
It’s so refreshing to see. For a while there I was just yelling at my screen for him to take a step or two inside the three point line. He was always just a little short on his threes and the idea that he needed a three point shot was so dumb. Literally developing any type of shot benefits him and the rest of the team so much it’s insane.
Giannis is nearly 30 and just now found himself a reliable jump shot. Ben Simmons is 28 and still hasn’t even tried to develop one.
I’ve been screaming it from the mountaintops for years that all he literally needs to complete his game is a somewhat consistent 10-15 foot jumper.
With his athleticism, it’s hard for players at his size to commit to sticking to him when he drives, so they always give him a little buffer so they can at least attempt to stop him. With the threat of him hitting that jumper, it puts them in no man’s land. Play too close? See ya later it’s a dunk or layup. Play too far away? Splash thanks for the open look. Play someone smaller on him so they can stay close but not get blown by? Sweet, he can just bully them in the post or hit that shot over them anyway because he’s 6’11 with a 7’3 wingspan.
There’s literally nothing you can do to stop it outside of being Wembanyama. If he can keep this up and add this jumper consistently to his game, lookout.
Kareem’s sky hook extended his career by at least a few years. He could have continued playing for a few more years if he wanted to.
Hopefully Gianni’s’ midrange shot extends HIS career.
Can I still dream and ask for a skyhook?
He just keeps getting better, it’s incredible.
I remember him getting dogged for taking that midrange game winner by a bunch of people who haven’t watched him all season. I was watching him in practice a few weeks ago at a game and he was automatic.
i cant wait until people start trying to cover off these shots and he’ll just hit that quick spin and destroy in the paint even harder
No 3s OOPS I can mid-range now!
He will continue to be disrespected because it’s a 3 pt NBA.
We’re in a new era of Giannis tho and I’m here for it
