Mark brown you don’t know basketball dumbass. I’m gonna assume you’re a warriors fan so you’re probably too blind to see it . They had everything you’d want on a championship defense. Kawhi & Gasol. Multiple DPOY awards. Ibaka multiple times led the league in blocks. Danny Green all defense first team. Kyle Lowry is a pit bull on defense. Siakam long athletic defended. It’s not crazy to say they had one of the best defenses we’ve seen in a long time. Do your research.

All superstars get double teamed so thats not an excuse. Giannis offensive game is limited thats why he couldn't do anything about it. If he had a jumpshot he could have just pulled up from 3 rather than drive towards the rim, if he was a good passer he would have found opened teammates rather than turning the ball over.

Giannis wasnt "exposed" in the conference finals. What actually happened was the raptors defended him really well and limited his effectiveness. Kawhi would guard him on the perimeter but as soon as giannis drove to the lane he was confronted by a combination of siakam ibaka and gasol depending on who was on the court. All 4 of those guys are elite defensive players. All that series proved was that giannis needs a perimeter shot which we all knew before the playoffs even began

david santoso You clearly don’t watch the games. Decent perimeter defender especially when the game is close,Second in steals, second in deflections, and has the highest paint defence rating in the league. How can you call him a bad on defence? He’s better then most of the ELITE guards in the league Curry,Irving,Kemba,Lillard, and CJ. If you don’t like him that’s one thing but to say he still plays defence like he did in 2015 is a flat out lie.

Once Giannis can develop a consistent shot he will have a plethora of offense to choose from. Right now he can just coast purely on his athleticism to beat his defenders to the rim but there will be times where that won’t be enough to win. Kawhi is deadly on both ends of the court, his game is cold.

Alex Gunderman yeah. No kidding. Nobody gives Steph any respect. But when it all comes down to it everybody knows who they’d want playing as PG on their team. Curry might not be the best 1 on 1 PG. But In a 5 on 5 real game situation, Curry is By FAR the best PG in the NBA. And it’s not even close. Harden and kyrie are right there it 2 and 3. And Damian not too far behind them.

I agree with Jackie I love giannis my favourite player 2nd favourite player is ben simmons simmons simmons I also love kawhi but like max Kellerman said who ever wins the series will show that they are the best player from that series and kawhi won his only weakness is creativity he shot amazing from 3 like 40% him and KD amazing from mid-range and vision so kawhi deserves first and then giannis 2nd because bron didn't have the playoffs to prove it even though it wasn't his fault and before he was injured they were 4th.
