People can say whatever they want about Giannis and his bag or lack thereof, but one thing you can never question is his heart. He lays it all on the line EVERY time. He plays like a homeless guy looking for his next meal. Just a straight killer.

I questioned his heart last year when he didnt want to get up after losing the ball against the Heat. He sat there. But Gianis is looking to change that this year.

Cuz when this boy fills out like Giannis did after his rookie year, and that 18 becomes 28 shots like the freak. . . .Lord help all other franchises.

I couldn't have said it any better Stephen A. For Giannis to go right at Wemby who has about 6 inches on him and that incredible reach. Got to tip your hat to him.

The fact voters and espn fixate on number so much shows how there is so much disrespect on Giannis, even though people praise him. THE EYE TEST is absurd how he plays the game. Constantly attacking, the spin move now with the euro step. Amazing. His MVP every year. People prioritizing 12 assists over 10. All these subtle stats… that’s not why fans go to games. To watch one extra point compared to next star. It’s HOW the game is played and HOW Giannis plays is box office ever single night.
