@ClutchBxckets @jwillmuse2 Until you realize there’s 2 ends of the court or how leaving gms early tanked Giannis numbers, anyone can throw counting stats & ignore context just how you can look at Jokic numbers these gms against the wolves & “think he wasn’t that bad” Giannis with less help has been better
English
@Dantheprophet1 @jwillmuse2 28,13,9 on 61 ts% in 57 playoff games played> 30,14,6 57 ts% in 20 playoff games.
English
I said giannis was better all time than jokic and they called me crazy
buckle 🦌@mke_buckle
skip to 40 seconds no bucks fan alive should ever talk down on this man
English
@ClutchBxckets @jwillmuse2 You mean the 3 40 point gms 2nd round vs celts in 22 with no Middleton? The 35 on 60% vs the pacers with no Dame in 25’? Or 23-24 when he literally missed the series with injuries? Healthy, individually hes clearly been better. Jokic play dropped off vs clips vs OKC vs wolves
English
@jwillmuse2 Still an insane take. People all over Jokic rn but Giannis has been worse and has had worse results the last 5 years
English
English
.@_JasonLT is not rewriting the history of Nikola Jokic’s career but this series is undeniably a blemish
English
@Dantheprophet1 @MileHighGreco Im not even a Denver fan but he should definitely have 4. Embiid won strictly bc of voter fatigue
English
He has 3 MVP’s (should have 6) and an NBA championship. His legacy is fine.
NBACentral@TheDunkCentral
What happens to Nikola Jokić’s legacy after this?
English
@tschwartz09 @arkaavs 22’ push the celts to 7 without his 2nd best player with 3 40 points gms in one series? Yes
23’ did Giannis not get injured early, Did he not miss half the series? Yes
24’ Did he literally play at all vs the pacers? No
25’ no dame & was easily the best player rnd 1
English
@Dantheprophet1 @arkaavs Choked a 2-0 lead to the Raptors in 2019 Kawhi had him in prison
Lost to an 8-seed in 2023
Back to back L’s to the Pacers
Lost 2 Game 7’s to the Celtics
Embiid who literally doesn’t play has more than double the amount of playoff wins as Giannis since 2022 stop this
English
@tschwartz09 @arkaavs Giannis(injured) went against the suns who had the best record in the league down 0-2 had the most impressive finals in this current era including 50 to win the title apparently is the fraud lmao
English
@arkaavs Giannis is objectively the weakest liken it’s not even close lmao and has several more years of being a playoff fraud when he’s not injuring people to win series
English
@PolymarketHoops “His era” when Giannis is literally more accomplished this is shit we talking about
English
Nikola Jokic is one of the all-time greats:
8x All-Star
7x All-NBA
2023 NBA Champion
2023 Finals MVP
3x MVP
2023 WCF MVP
2026 AST Champ
61-10-10 Game
Make no mistake, this is one of the greatest players of this era, his era.

@DenverDegen @30GotNext “He’s not a plus but analytically he’s capable” lmao yeah goodnight I’m not going back & forth with you please put down the calculator & learn ball buddy
English
@Dantheprophet1 @30GotNext Ya he’s not a plus defender but analytically, he’s capable. Pinning this on him is hilarious. Braun has a $120mm dollar contract and is averaging about 4 points/game, Spencer Jones is a f’ing G-leaguer. If you’re hating on Jokic, you haven’t watched him carry this sorry ass team.
English
@DenverDegen @30GotNext It’s not just offensively dude its defensively when you have role players who can’t create you need to get out and run that can’t happen when you can’t get stops, he’s not going against the 2017 warriors it’s the wolves without their starting backcourt just stop with the excuses
English
@Dantheprophet1 @30GotNext Buddy he has Spencer jones in the starting lineup of his team. Guy was on a 2-way. He hasn’t been his best this series but you morons ignore how awful his supporting cast is. Look at how bad Christian Braun and Cam Johnson have been, no AG. He’s got a lottery team with him.
English
@Anthonyeeegan @Carsobi Giannis has delt with injures in the postseason since 21 unlike Jokic when he’s played he put up monster numbers it’s not the same situation
English
Jokic shot 0/6 in the 4th quarter. He also had multiple unnecessary turnovers trying to push pace and failed to finish several key possessions with defensive rebounds. Largely clamped again by Gobert. This is the worst series of his career.
English
@Kawhidagoat1 Same shit last year with AG hitting BS shot after BS shot vs the clippers it’s ridiculous
English
@thunderuporgtf @JoshLSports @speakeasytlkshw @EmmanuelAcho “Maybe throw Giannis” have you seen his resume? It’s literally better then all the players you mentioned
English
@JoshLSports @speakeasytlkshw @EmmanuelAcho Literally him and Jokic era. Maybe throw in Embiid and giannis but they too injured. Shai already a top 10 pg oat. I think top 10 definitely pushing it but 15-20 is cool. Top 25 is bare minimum
English
"SGA is on the verge of being a top 10 player of all-time... He'd be in the company of Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, LeBron James..."
– @EmmanuelAcho sends high praise for SGA and the elite company he'd join if he wins back-to-back MVPs and championships
English
@CourtSideTakes5 @SwipaCam Scoring is the most difficult aspect of basketball, no matter how good you’re passing is you’re still rely on the receiving player to score, 2 way ability is what’s truly peak
English
@SwipaCam A thing I don’t understand is why people don’t care as much for rebounds and assists? Why is points the only thing that matters?
English
@ExtinctKB If you can’t see the issue with his unwillingness to pass (that even Giannis has thrown hints to) you’re the problem
English
Are you fucking stupid nigga? Ryan Rollins has a bigger future on this team than fucking Cam Thomas in a year where nothing is on the line his reps are WAY more important than anyone else
⋆@bucksinfour
you can tell this is personal. must be getting his get back from back in the day. he know what cam can do but he won’t let him do what he do lol if anyone knows what cam can do it’s him. as a pg why are you not looking for him? how can he be aggressive when you don’t pass it 🤔
English
@TheoSays335457 @nathanmarzion He doesn’t care, just wanna waste Giannis career/legacy as long as he’s on bucks just a ridiculously low IQ fanbase
English
@nathanmarzion Yes waste a prime season and hope that a 19 year old pushes you to a championship 😂
English
Tank is officially on.
This likely reduces any chance of a midseason trade too.
Heal up Giannis... never want to see him get hurt, but this honestly could end up being a good thing. If there's ever a season for him to miss a lot of time, this is it.

Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo tells media postgame tonight he has a right calf strain and expects to miss 4 to 6 weeks. MRI on Saturday.
