Didn’t SAS JUST say this is the greatest closeout game in NBA history???

Stephen A said "I watched Magic drop 42, I watched MJ drop 45 but nothing beats what I saw from Giannis last night" and he's already turning back on it? 😂

Stephen A is always hating on Giannis because he's not American, this giannis performance is the best closeout performance in the history

Leave him alone and let him enjoy his 50 piece McNugget. 😂

Stephen A can’t stand it when a non-American makes history. Just look at the magnitude of what Giannis has done! None of ya’ll can downplay this!

At this point I think the media cares more about Michael Jordan’s legacy than Michael Jordan 😂

SAS just will never give foreign players all the credit they deserve lol

This is just CNN/Fox for sports. They are not into journalism, but into creating controversies and narratives. Worst thing is these clowns can shape the future of these players through their bs.

Why is Stephen A saying Giannis Silenced his critics like he ain’t one 🤣

Kinda nice seeing these three eat their words

Why is perk here, this same dude said Middleton was Batman and Giannis was robin. The dumbest statement ever lmao

I’m tired of this. When will people acknowledge SAS blatant xenophobia? This dude almost never gives foreign players their credit. He won’t even try to pronounce their names correctly. How many times have we seen him laugh at the idea of a foreign player coming into the NBA and be great only for guys like Jokic, Giannis, Luka to prove him wrong

The “Batman” analogy aged well. 😂

At this point I would rather listen to Lavar Ball say he’s better than MJ. The negativity on this video is just too much.

The bias of ESPN and the whole of American sports media. Give them props as long as they're American.

Giannis’s performance was statistically the best ever. They’re just using feelings and nostalgia over facts.

If this man Giannis was american...oh men , we would never see the end of the "best player in the world" "best finals performance of all time" "greatest close out game ever". Why don't american sports media don't give real props when a international player dominate the league? Next up is luka, we'll see

Stephen A. LITERALLY 2 segments ago: I've never seen such a performance in a closeout game like Giannis last night Stephen A. now:

Perk why are you still here? Jalen INCINERATED you on Get Up 😂😂😂

Let's face it Americans will never admit a foreign player being the best at something That's just disgusting If it was any american player with the same game they would be saying that it was the best performance ever

SAS and PERK shouldn't even give voice to this

They are not accounting the monstrous defensive game Giannis had on top of that offensive masterpiece. That was the most dominant game i've ever seen someone play on both sides of the ball, and the clutch FT shooting cannot be overlooked.

Man had 50 and dominated on defense. It’s a fair case it’s the best close out game in finals history.

I don't know about the close out game specifically but Giannis to me had the greatest finals series of all time...tell me another player that has had all the icon plays Giannis had in this series...Game 1 chase down block after hyperextending his knee...back to back 40py games in Games 2 and 3...The block heard around the world in Game 4...The Alley oop dunk to seal it in Game 5 and the block party and 50piece in the championship close out game and even hitting free throws and fade aways to exorcist his demons...not to mention having team mates that can give you 30 one night and disappear the next...Tell me who did it better?...I get the case for '16 Bron but still taking Giannis.

"Dedicated to the haters, the non-believers, and the disgruntled. Oh, no, I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay right here and watch Giannis rise to the top. It feels better that way!"

Stephen A just likes to hear himself talk at this point 🤦🏾‍♂️

They will always hate on Giannis Becuse he is not American …..I never remember them hating on Lebron or Kd like this SMH!!!! Carry on

Lmao this was definitely the best close out finals game of all time. Tied highest scorer in the close out game 14 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2 assits. Who tf has done better?

Man had one of the greatest finals performances in history and these "commentators" are tryna tear him down 🤦🏾‍♂️

The critics were the media who were rooting for Chris Paul lmao. Fans love Giannis

Stephen A is turning more & more into someone like Skip Bayless! Don't even feel like seeing ESPN's videos after his name pops up!

Michael Jordan didn't even shoot well in that game. He was 15 for 35. But the final 40 seconds with three consecutive clutch plays is why it's lifted to #1. It ended with the most iconic of shots.

Here’s why this was the best performance in a close out finals game in history: He dropped 50 and was the best offensive player on the court and had the highest scoring performance in nba history for a closing finals game. AND LIKE THEY SAID, CONTEXT MATTERS. Middleton and holiday didn’t have great offensive nights, so the load fell on giannis. Second, he was the best defensive player in the court with 14 rebounds and 5 blocks, and made all the right defensive rotations to challenge all the shots. The effort he gave was unmatched. Thirdly, AGAIN CONTEXT MATTERS. Giannis had been struggling from the free throw line, but made 17-19 in the biggest game of his career

Jordan was not better he had 45 1 ast 1 rb Giannis 50 points 14 reb 5 blocks 2 assists

Giannis attacked his fears and got to the free throw line and knocked the shots down

Blame Monty Williams for this last night... Ayton and Crowder were doing next to nothing and when Kaminsky came in, he was hooping. Make all the jokes you want about Kaminsky but he was keeping their season alive and Monty leaves Cam Johnson and Kaminsky out to bring back Ayton who was awful??

Stephen A. is so Tired of Touring the US that he's putting his anger out on Max, Max is right on the best in the world debate and That this game wasn't the best closeout game in history. Leave max alone 😂

This was the best close out performance in history period

If LeGone would drop 50 you guys would go crazy 🤦🏻‍♂️

And that’s why there is so much people that don’t take you guys serious. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Yes that was the greatest close out game. And that was the second greatest finals performance in nba history. Lebron 2016 finals series performance was the only one that was better due to circumstances and Lebron leading every one in every thing. Giannis was special man did everything

These analysts need to chill out. Not everything needs to be the 'greatest of all time' 😂

Giannis played phenomenal this was a historic performance let’s give him his props and chill with the dismissing💯

Stephen A been taking his anger out on Max all show. Bro is absolutely sick that Giannis won the title

Giannis is a champion and a finals mvp everyone can shup up

This was the greatest close out and the whole world knows, y’all always don’t give people credit if they ain’t from America

It’s not too often we get a 50-piece special for a close out

This series should be the nail in the coffin for Perk on First Take

Perk acting like he didn't just call Giannis a "Robin" just few nights ago. Foh

At this point I dont think it's about basketball it's about feelings. I wish kobe was alive to give his opinion of giannis' championship

Honestly that was the best closeout game to me he dominated both ends of the floor.

Bucks made it to Finals due to KD’s shoe size making it a game tying 2. Suns made it to Finals due to injuries in every round.

MJ was the best. Gm 6 vs Utah. Pippen was sick, MJ did it all by himself and the finish was poetic. Jumped, fist pump, showed his 6 fingers, tears in his eyes.

Bruh the 50 is one thing but the blocks and ft oh my 🥺 , Giannis presence in the paint was on another level

Magic's first title win in '80 playing for KAJ. Plus a triple double the game before but there are many great players who had great games in finals Giannis is just another.

These so called “ analysts “ can’t help but get back to being negative. Giannis has been on an upward trajectory since he entered the league. This is his moment and no matter what SAS, Max or even SKip says, Giannis took that game and left no doubt.

If it were KD it would be a different story lol. Giannis didn't have a super team behind him, Durant had Harden. They just can't give credit to a non-american player and it shows.

Frasier's 36-7-19 isn't talked about more because everyone just remembers Willis Reed starting the game while bearing a torn thigh.

How was it not the greatest closeout game in history? It was better than Dirk, better than Magic, better than Jordan in their legendary closeout games. Giannis deserves his moment.

Didn’t come here for the slander only came to remind Mfs Milwaukee did it, nothing else matters 🤷🏽‍♂️

Here we go again. Tearing a guy down.

Of course it wasn’t to SAS.

I'm most def going to the parade tm who wanna come with 😂

All I know is I didn’t live to see those other games so this is the best close out game in a finals I’ve seen and I’m 23 fyi. Congrats to giannis everyone was doubting him and his free throw shooting he definitely overcame adversity. Well deserved!

2 videos ago SAS said he hasn’t seen a better close out game before in the NBA finals as great as Giannis’

When Perk has a segment “he did it in great fashion” “address like the numbers on the house “ every. single. time.

Max when speaking abt Steph or Giannis "2015 Cavs were injured and 2021 nets were injured they got lucky" and when it comes to kwahi " he is such a clutch player and 2019 champ and fmvp and beat the warriors" well kd and klay were injured and they got to 6 games😂

2:28 Who West, Max? Jerry: Don't call me Sherry.

They really praised Giannis for 1 night and now they backtracking it all and takin it away from him

Stephen a is really allergic to giving foreign players props

Bruh y’all just ain’t gonna give foreign players their props hey 🤦🏿‍♂️ This boy is one of the only two to drop a 50 piece in a close out game in the finals and y’all undermining him ??!!

I lost so much respect for this show

Max with a Walt "Clyde" Frazier reference. Good one. And Max isn't trashing the Knicks being such a traitor to his hometown. Patience, Max. Milwaukee waited 50 years to win another one.

Giannis just chillin eating his nuggets lol

Max keeps bringing up the Bucks wouldn’t have made it to the finals if the Nets were healthy. Well Max, they are in the finals that’s all that matters

Personally for me, LeBron's 51 against the Warriors with KD - Game 1 was the best individual performance in a finals.

Giannis finally played like a DPOY and it was scary. Can't wait for Bucks Nets series next season. I know Nets were hurt and went to game 7 so most people would have nets as the favorite, but Giannis became a different animal. I wouldn't be surprised if Giannis consistently outplays KD by dominating in the paint and making his free throws. And btw, Divincenzo and Jrue Holiday can do a GREAT job defensively on Harden and Kyrie. And they still have different bodies to throw at KD. Can't wait to see it, but I have the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 7.

Max forgets that Kawhi would have lost in 1 if KD and Klay where healthy.

I would’ve never thought the only person to say something with some sense & put respect on Giannis name would be Kendrick Perkins

Yo that Clyde Frazier stat line is INSANE 😵😵

He overcame his short comings in the most pivotal moment! That’s just unbridled confidence.

Bro just said lastnight on national television , that this was the best finals close out game

Max said Clyde Frazier’s was the greatest close out but he wasn’t born when it happened 😂

They played that Clyde Frazier footage and I laughed lmao. Ain’t no way that’s better than Giannis

This is indeed THE BEST closeout game in nba finals HISTORY

So we had two teams in these playoffs to recover from an 0-2 deficit twice in the same playoff run. Clippers and Bucks. But Bucks got lucky versus Brooklyn once Kyrie went down.

I want to know if the suns won the championship would they bring up about them winning against injured teams.

SAS was one of the credits criticizing him lmao

Stephen A literally said earlier this was one of the best performances ever and gave Giannis major props after the game... why the switch up now?

His name is Walt Frazier.

Max Kellerman: context matters whilst coming up for every reason as to how lucky milkauwee were in there playoff run Also Max Kellerman: the greatest all time moment isn't giannis( but its in the moment where I wasn't born ) You weren't born yet so how would know their road to the finals or have any understanding of context back then And plus when the dust settles context doesn't even matter, it's all etched in stone. Did you win a ring or not.

Why can’t they just say he had a great finals and finals performance giannis obviously did not play in the 70s or those eras

It's gonna be boring until the season starts I can't wait hopefully everyone is healthy next season

Context wise it is the best Giannis being a closer to 50 percent from the free throw line and shooting 90 percent from the line on 19 free throw attempts

As a huge Jordan fan who grew up in Chicago and watched those bulls teams, I think Giannis performance last night was greater. I don’t feel like it’s recency bias either, last night Giannis was incredible and the better close our game in my opinion

Watching this after taking a break from sports talks shows and wondering why I even bothered watching again. Is this really a conversation they need to be having right now? It hasn't even been 24 hours since the Bucks and Giannis won. Let them enjoy it and talk about how great they played, not about how his performance wasn't as good as past legends...

The Utah Jazz was the only thing in the way for us to get a Michael Jordan vs. Kobe Bryant Finals twice. They denied the Lakers twice. Prevented a Bulls vs. Rockets in 1997 and Bulls vs. Spurs Finals in 1998.

Giannis made 50 points on 25 shots against the Suns and Jordan made 45 points on 35 shots against the Jazz

Don't forget he hit that smooth 3 !

Not only of off but also in def iconic closing game 50pts 5block
