Kobe didn’t get to see Giannis win a title:(
2020 is bullshht
He did
Kobe would have been absolutely blown away by Giannis’ performance in game 6. 50 points and basically perfect from the foul line?!?! Kobe literally woulda been going so crazy on twitter smh i’m boutta start crying again
He didn't have to he knew it was coming
He knows🙏🏾
Giannis is already a NBA legend
Yeah but people gotta understand how crazy good guys like Lebron and MJ are. To be the GOAT he gotta get like 35ppg for a few seasons in my opinion
lol that's true but Anthony was saying he is a legend being legend means one of the great players like even Steph
@@gabrielgeorge2348 I agree....but.. to be honest...i smell Michael...
@@gabrielgeorge2348 lebron never average more than 31 why the hell giannis have to average 35?
@@gabrielgeorge2348 no you don’t lmao
The 3 dislikes are James harden and his 2 burner accounts
Naa, it’s because he basically explained nearly everything we know besides what the title said
@@brekkonmoen8277 what did you expect? The title said "what NBA players think of giannis" and you expect something else?
@@brekkonmoen8277 you the casual one in the comment read the title 🤡🤦🏽
😂
🤣
Most humble man in the NBA, And just a super family...So lucky to have him here in Milwaukee..Wisconsin is proud of you young man.
Well he had his own statue when he retires soon.😊
Giannis will become the GOAT
Yea aight 🤣
@@andrewchisholm3476 Giannis has GOAT potential if he develops a solid perimeter game
@@andrewchisholm3476 he very well can be
@@andrewchisholm3476 he will he led the bucks to a title do you remember dude
I think they should bring someone like Kareem, Hakeem, or maybe Tim Duncan to help his post game could you image if Giannis shoot a sky hook or had a good post movies he really could become the The GOAT.
Much respect to shaq and kd for major props to that greek freak of nature. He's probably going to work even smarter and harder
Yeah, hat's off to KD. He had the best case of being bitter out of all the Nets, but he just tweeted out to Giannis "Now go you one" (ring). Hard to do at that moment.
@@recoil53 the reason KD has that much respect for Giannis is because KD is Giannis' favorite current player. Go back and watch Giannis first ever interview when he was back in Greece is a very young kid. He said. He like to watch Magic Johnson and Kevin Durant. Those two motivate him
@@basicLife7721 I doubt Durant just has respect for being called Giannis' favorite player. I think it goes back to what they say - if Giannis finds a jump shot it's all over.
@@recoil53 oh ofcourse no doubt. Giannis is something else. Something I personally haven't seen before. And KD himself is a wrecking machine. Greatness admires greatness
@@basicLife7721 I'd love to see them in their primes in a small ball front court together. Just total devestation.
He has come such a long way dude and he is still so humble about it. I love that.
Damn, Kobe could’ve been here for Giannis’ championship. Rest In Peace Kobe.
rest in peace, Jason
Giannis is a special one🖤🖤 his story always touch my heart
Everyone approves except James Harden....
And me. I think KD & Lebron are better
@@Anonymous-gy4lp Maybe, but the difference is immaterial in that you can viably build a real contender around them without going to overwhelming extremes on who the teammates are. I mean I like Khris Middleton, but there are and have been a lot of #2 guys who are a lot better.
Man felt robbed
Who is james harden lol
@@taneh9049 facts who he compared to the freak
Giannis is the most lovable nba player
I'm a KD fan but it's so dope to see how kobe said MVP and championship and that's exactly what Giannis did.
😭😭😭😭❤️ tears of joy Giannis is so awesome and Rip Kobe! Way to see Giannis as the man!!
rip, Jacob
With all due respect, Giannis' contract doesn't pay him 57 million annually....it starts at 39 million this year and then tops out at 51 million in the 2025/26 season. I'm not sure if you included endorsements but yeah, nowhere near 57 million annually. Doing the math you divided 228 million by 4 years but it's actually a 5-year contract and it's backloaded. Awesome video though!
Not hard to look that up
@@MITCH_61 Youd think these creators would do a basic amount of research lol but they dont and we eat it up like they did :p
I was looking to see if someone commented this.
Yeah... The interesting fact about that is that if they paid him the same amount of money but for only four years it would had made the second highest paying contract in SPORTS HISTORY 😂 just crazy
@@Amm17ar nigga don’t hate on him just because he made a mistake
KD admit Giannis long before they go against each other on 2021 playoff. The fact that these two giants battling for a tittle few years later on a tight 7 games is just something amazing. It's feel similar when u watch Wilt against Kareem or Hakeem against Ewing. Ultimate respect for both.
tittle?
He is a great person. Fame and wealth shows any darkness in our hearts.
People need to give Giannis the respect he deserves
Who woulda thought that slim 19 year old would be considered just as dominant as Shaq
Giannis is currently the best player in the NBA. There are so many good players today but watching Giannis play, he seems to just be able to get his way with anyone offensively and is the best defender in the league. The man is unstoppable.
See how humble this guy is. He’s just starting
Giannis: hey harden I took my team to the finals and won a ring. NOW THAT TAKES SKILL!!! Harden:...........
No it’s not true Giannis doesn’t have skills it’s your fantasy James 😂hahaha loser
@@theodoresavvaids5563 Ok….Diehard James Harden kid
Harden saw Giannis win and started crying in Lil Baby's arms 😭
💀
Big g will be top five arguably by the end of his amazing career. As a sixers fan gotta love his story and drive to how he's gotten here
Watching this video showed me that the whole world didn’t sleep on Giannis, just the casuals. Anyone who knew anything about the game knew Giannis would be a beast way back in 15-16.
Praying for his continue of success. Hes story always Inspired me. "From 0 to hero. 🙏🏻💪
How do you spend 11 minutes and not mention his Finals game 6 performance? He gave us a preview of what it looks like when he’s also hitting a mid-range shot. One of the top 3 most dominant Finals close-out performances in NBA history.
It was actually thee most dominant finals close out performances. He scored 50 points vs the great Jordan’s 45 points in 1998. But Giannis also had 5 blocks, a billion rebounds, and actually destroyed Suns fans even worse than Jordan did lol. Giannis showed even less mercy than MJ lol.
Thank you, very nicely done
Giannis when he was a young kid, playing in an amateur Greek team. "One day I will be playing in the NBA". Reporters laughed at him back then. But we all know the story now. Top player, top guy!
Dude...Is Amazing!!! Humble and Kind!!!
This is the giannis era
Fantastic piece of content.
Kobe was the first who saying giannis is a Star....
I believe KD did first. If I’m not mistaking
I don't know why but I cried after watching Rise
Giannis is a great hard working young man and deserves all the accolades he received. As for the few haters(james Harden) he's a selfish ballhog and needs to more team play than individual stats, that mentality very seldom produce champions. Change your attitude young man stop hating and maybe just maybe you one day may be an NBA champion!!!
awesome video.. great content #AvidViewers🔥
Dude won a championship and let everyone touch it in Milwaukee.. dude is gangster.. Milwaukee love him
I believe that you made a mistake at @6:09 , didn't Lbj score back to back 41 points in the 2016 nba finals vs warriors?🤔
Giannis would be unstoppable if he masters his shootting
He is better than the over overrated NBA players. He's dominant on the court. He's got beautiful eyes, a cute smile and nice arms.
over overrated?
When you put those cool paintings up I took a picture and made it my wallpaper😂
As much as I want to hate this guy, you just can’t. He’s humble, he put in the work. He plays defense, always hustles, involves his teammates, could go on and on. He’ll never been seen as the greatest because I don’t think he really cares to promote himself or become selfish on the court for numbers.
Being at work explains it’s his league then seeing him win it all I believe
This dude has goatness written all over him.
Now im in tears 😭😭😭 because of kobe...miss him
He just a big kid doing what he loves my nigga Greek gawddddddd 🙏🏾🍿
He Is So Carzyyy With His Dunks + Everything He Dose Period👍👍👍👍👍
My Favorite NBA Player
Dont forget he a back to back mvp and dpoy and only two other player have done that in the nba
Let's hope he keeps working hard. Sometimes excellent athletes just give up the pursuit of excellence once they think they've gone to far from where they started. A typical example is Ronaldinho and Allen Iverson. Those two had the potential to be greatest of all times but lack the discipline to go further.
His unfaltering loyalty to his draft team, the humility, charisma and superhuman work ethic are what sets him apart from any other non-MJ players in the GOAT discussion. I;m glad the Milwaukee team realizes his greatness and further potential and are rewarding him with the contracts he deserves. I wish him an injusry free long career, seeing him compete with the likes of Doncic and Jokic is gonna be fun. Slowly getting that early 2000s feeling about basketball again. I wish EA got some competition in the gaming field tho, their UX is atrocious.
Everything you just said applies to Kobe also... except Kobe has *more* G.O.A.T. achievements 💯 Giannis is still early in his career and has plenty of time to catch up though!! But he's gonna need at least a few more 💍 as well as having a long ways to go before reaching _anything close_ to Kobe's legacy as an iconic figure on & off the court or his level as a role model for young men 💯 Between the years 2000-2010 it didn't matter if you were a hooper putting up a 3pt shot or a 30 year old account tossing a piece of paper in the 🗑... *_Anytime_* a guy tossed *anything* into a container, the word "Kobe" came out his mouth while it was in the air 💯 Too put it shortly, Giannis *is definitely* the best current player w/ the highest ceiling... but he has quite a lot more he needs to prove in his future career before 🐐 talk 👍
oh you're right about Kobe, that's my bad not including him as the #1 non MJ @@EmpressOfExile206
bless him
Love the clips you pulled of shaq haha
I love giannis❤
giannis is basically shaq if he fixed his diet
Harden really thinks that being long is enough to have skill like giannis. If that was true, ben Simmons, Joel embiid, AD, etc would have the same skill as giannis. Therefore, having handles and being long is nowhere near why giannis is that good. Giannis has way more skill than that. And even if harden was as tall as giannis, harden would still be same cause he isn’t athletic
The Greak Freak l just love him
Giannis is simply good! 👍
To be a "Giannis" is not a day's job. Kudos!
Giannis has the chance to become the greatest period. If he back to backs or 3 peats it won't even be a conversation
Go Giannis 🇬🇷💪🏼
After seeing some dumb comments jeering about Giannis can only beat injured team, I, however, feel joyful because it's another time that Giannis will prove those who taunt at him and not believe in his ability wrong.
I love this guy
Go giannis
Agree
Harden talks about skills when Giannis lives at the gym and him celebrating lil baby’s birthday for two weeks .
The bucks have had a pretty good line up for the past few years and I'm happy about it
question at 6:05 Didn't Paul Pierce drop 42 on the Lakers in the Staples Center, and then drop another 40+ in the next game back in March 2001?
Giannis is what Kobe wanted shaq to be
Giannis deserved the 2nd MVP cuz he actually plays defense. Harden needs to shut it. Scoring points don’t matter if your giving up easy points as well. 2 sides to basketball
03:24 You are allowed to shove/hold the defender arm out of your way?
This dude is the best
Imagine the pressure but the hapinnes a person can have when people demand from him to be the best nba player of all time. Chill guys. He is probably one of the best, and he may end up being THE best. We shouldn't be like that. He even asked not to call him an MVP the first time he won that title, and yet people call him MVP and GOAT... He may be, I hope he will. But let's all just enjoy the game like he does. PS. I know he is BUCKS for life(and that's an extra reason to love him), but if only Warriors had him instead of Draymond.........
Kobe probably thinking “you see Shaq! This is what you could’ve been!” Note: Not a knock to Shaq with his accolades but Kobe felt that Shaq could be even better.
True giannis goat
3rd MVP title is on the way...
the most famous greek in history already Giannis
I say tie, put your personalities Together and that's two Humble men That are extremely honorable.😊
It’s funny to think that Kobe’s student was actually Giannis. It went from Jordan, Kobe, Then Giannis? Seems strange but I’m happy it happened😂
Why does everyone start with James harden and giannis when it comes to beef like giannis started it.. harden and the rockets organization started the shit after his 1st mvp saying harden should have been mvp. Taking out ads in Milwaukee. Harden radio comments about narratives deciding votes. Whether true or not doesn't matter. Be humble in defeat. Come harder next season.
Man Harden so jealous of Giannis
Karma get him bro
@@frankie1925 exactly
KD the legend recognizes another legend
harden the beer belly
GIANNIS
I wonder what would happen if curry and giannis team up 3pt and paint domination
Champions every season
As a bucks fan I’m greatful

Hi from Greece(Giannis's country)
Γεια σε όλους τους Έλληνες
I really don’t consider GOAT. Every year, every season , there’s always the best player. Saying all time really is not all time. There’s no all time. Media only says so
Honestly this is one of the most accurate things I’ve read, people always say goat is either MJ or Lebron, but you wouldn’t know who’s really the best unless they all played at the same time
I am Greek so yes I can say that he is the GOAT but he knows it too that he isn't no one can replace MJ . Although he is for sure one of the best and he will be in the conversation for top 5 players to ever play this game among players like LeBron MJ kobe...
GIANNIS the GREAT! 😉 👍
4:14 "Kobe Bryant !!! The man Giannis has watched while growing up..." Giannis literally didn´t know that Kobe Bryant even existed, 10 years prior... He´s been playing soccer, and hasn´t touched a basketball yet... But I get your point, since such phrases help build up the drama...
He had his his Guarantee. That he was able to be the best.. ..
One word rise
I worry that the double knee overextension he endured through the 2021 Championship is subtly hampering his play, and that it will get worse with time.
One of only a few players I would pay to see play.
Kobe will be courtside finals forever kobe saw gianis cement his name among the stars and earn his respect
imagine a dragonball Z fusion from Shaque and Kobe = Giannis
This didn't explain what nba players said about greek
After the rule change James Soften has been exposed as the one not being “skilled.” Guess he should’ve learned how to play basketball without depending on the refs calling weak calls for him. 😂
Boom
