You still neva get am grin grin grin grin.

There is a reason I asked @Khanben to tell me what he understood from my post about the dunk because him sef don misconstrue everything. @Khanben made reference to Bam's block on Tatum last season and I wondering why such an important block did not get the hype if it was soo great? Giannis's block is going to be debated for ages as one of the biggest and best ever, if that isn't respect, I don't know what is.
If Bam's block is so good but not enough to get the LeBum's comparison then where is the disrespect? Precious Achiuwa blocked KD during the friendly but somehow it did not get the hype..except for Nigerians of course..replace Achiuwa with Giannis, what do u think will happen to that play?
In essence, another player could have had a similar block but not get the hype and LeBum's comparison as an all time great but Giannis executes it and because of the degree of respect he has in the league, it climbs up to be compared with Bum's block. I am not undervaluing that block, if anything, I lean towards Giannis's if pressed but the onus of the statement is hinged on the fact that Giannis's block gets a lot of value and respect
grin grin grin grin I go get your time after the game abeg. For how biko bucks in 6.

Giannis has the highest floor I've seen in a superstar for a very long time. Just another ho hum 20-6-6. Zero turnovers between
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 3:56am On Jul 18, 2021
This is what I was saying. You would rather have Jrue and Middleton get hot - Giannis will get his anytime. If they keep this up, series is a wrap.

On the other hand, Booker is still trying to out-Kobe Kobe. CP3 who be distributing the rock is definitely not the same, not sure what is wrong but he usually is more assertive than this.

So which ball did Middleton share that had him taking 13 more shots than everyone else. This thing wey una get for mind against Giannis una go soon confess am
Shey you now see what im talking about - Giannis 16 shots, Middleton 18 shots, Jrue 16 shots. See how good the team looks? Make una drop dis african mindset that criticism means you are against the person. Everybody is a mini buhari these days smiley
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:02am On Jul 18, 2021
Jrue's size at the top is a big problem for the Suns.

You have started this opata yarnin again. Did you watch the first quarter? The only difference between today and last 3 games is Holiday is making his shots so drop this megedefegede

The other guys on the Suns are not ball dominant and this is their typical numbers all season long. Stop this dishonest analysis abeg

You are the one still not getting the point, the block is not being mentioned as greater than LeBrons os its giannis, he had a chase down block if not better than LeBrons in game 2, was it hyped?

Asides the fact that's giannis and in that moment with the difficulty of execution, that's what makes it great.
Bams block was good but not as special abeg...
I'm still countering your narrative that this guy is babyed, that's a big fat preposterous lie from the deepest pit of hell.

Jrue Holiday was averaging 33% on 17 shots per game prior to this one. Dfkm man! What kind of dishonest take is this

Middleton is averaging 4 more shots per game than Giannis
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:11am On Jul 18, 2021
The Suns switch Bridges on Jrue.

Giannis has been super aggressive driving to the bucket.

You are focusing on the quality of the block and that is where u are losing the onus..

Abeg, I still dey wait for my urgent 2K answer.. Is Kyrie a locker room cancer? Is he also American?
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:17am On Jul 18, 2021
Anytime people want to compare Ben Simmons to Giannis I get pissed off

I will repeat it for you again. The jump shooters need the touches so they can get hot. Its that simple. And they need plays designed for them, not Giannis passing out the ball with 3s left on the shot clock.

Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 4:28am On Jul 18, 2021
On God if the Bucks choke this one. Giannis needs to hit the second
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:28am On Jul 18, 2021
That shot by Booker was sic though!
Re: The NBA Begins by MANNABBQGRILLS: 4:28am On Jul 18, 2021

Bro, thats exactly what I have been saying. You got to give him those shots - thats the only way you beat the suns
Re: The NBA Begins by birdman(m): 4:29am On Jul 18, 2021
On cue, CP3 re-imposing himself on the game, allowing Booker to become dangerous. This is close!
Re: The NBA Begins by Roland17(m): 4:30am On Jul 18, 2021
Oh boy! The Bucks dare not.. They have to get this one

And they get them. Lol you're basically lying at this point. Didn't Jrue miss like 4 layups in Game 3 alone
