Jrue Holiday after his first season in Milwaukee:
โฝ NBA Champion ๐
โฝ Olympic Gold Medal ๐ฅ
โฝ NBA Sportsmanship Award ๐
โฝ NBA All-Defensive First Team ๐
Giannis Antetokounmpo is the only player to win Finals MVP and anchor the best defense in the playoffs in the same year since Hakeem Olajuwon.
Is he the best 2-way player in the game?
Does Brook Lopez have a Hall of Fame career considering he was one of the best Centers in the 2010'?
โฝ Brooklyn Nets franchise leading scorer (10,444 points).
โฝ 1x All-Star
โฝ 19-20 All-Defensive Team
โฝ 2021 NBA Champion.
Interesting fact:
Brook Lopez only attempted 31 threes during his first 8 seasons and only made 3.
In the next 5? He attepmted 1830 and made 630 threes.
Brook Lopez is the first played who completely changed his game from top to bottom because of the new shooting era.
Even though those stats might not mean alot to you, Giannis Antetokounmpo was truly the most dominant defensive player we've seen maybe in the last 10 years in the 2019-2020 season.
The narrative that Giannis shouldn't have won the 2020 DPOY is completely false.
Giannis led the league in:
โฝ Defensive Win Shares (5.0)
โฝ Defensive Box Plus/Minus (4.1)
โฝ Defensive Rating (97.1)
โฝ Defensive Rebounds
And just to make it clear, Greatness is not defined by how many MVP's you won, there's alot of player who we're "robbed" from many MVP's because of narratives.
At 26 years of age Giannis has already more MVP's than:
โฝ Kobe Bryant
โฝ Shaquille O'Neal
โฝ Oscar Robertson
โฝ Hakeem Olajuwon
โฝ Kevin Durant
โฝ Dirk Nowitzki
โฝ Kevin Garnett
โฝ Dwyane Wade
โฝ Allen Iverson
โฝ James Harden
At 26 years of age with already:
โฝ 2x MVP
โฝ 1x DPOY
โฝ 1x MIP
โฝ 1x All-Star MVP
โฝ 5x All-Star
โฝ 5x All-NBA (3x 1st Team All-NBA)
โฝ 1x NBA Champion
โฝ 1x FMPV
Giannis Antetokounmpo just entered his prime.
On November 11th, 2006, Michael Redd would set the record for the most points in one game in the franchise history with 57 points against the Utah Jazz.
