And yet you still have Scott Foster officiating this. The great equalizer.

Seems he doesnt hate CP3 as much in this game.

 

[jd2010]

This is crazy FT shooting from the Greek Freak

 

[DBAH0]

Too many missed 3's for Phoenix.

That should be it.

 

[jd2010]

Giannis has probably hit 6-8 more FTs than he normally would tonight.

 

[jd2010]

42, 41, 26, 32 & 50 since a pretty quiet game 1 for Giannis

 

[RPCB]

We all appreciate Giannis dropped the F bomb three times on national TV.

 

[jod23]

Giannis just insane in that series. Deserves all the success he gets, just an incredibly likeable guy.

Crazy to think three Antetokounmpo brothers have now won an NBA title.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

The Greek ****ing Freak!

She was probably thinking to herself that Giannis could have mentioned the 150,000 people watching before he turned the camera to her.

 

[peternorth]

Appreciate greatness

Next season is gonna be so interesting now. Bucks will want to defend but the Nets will be healthy so I dont like their chances. The draft is coming up and plenty of trades and free agency. Should be a cracker. I wonder if CP3 stays in Phoenix or takes the easy way out and heads to LA.

Be good if he went to the lakers. But prefer lillard. Not that I can see a way for either really to happen

A look back at the 2013 NBA draft

1. Anthony Bennett
2. Victor Oladipo
3. Otto Porter Jr.
4. Cody Zeller
5. Alex Len
6. Nerlens Noel
7. Ben McLemore
8. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope
9. Trey Burke
10. CJ McCollum
11. Michael Carter-Williams
12. Steven Adams
13. Kelly Olynyk
14. Shabazz Muhammad

15. Giannis Antetokounmpo (1 NBA title, 1 NBA Finals MVP, 2 x NBA MVP, NBA All-Star Game MVP, 5 x NBA All-Star, 3 x All-NBA First Team, 2 x All-NBA Second Team, NBA Defensive Player of the Year, 3 x NBA All-Defensive Team, 1 NBA All-Defensive Second Team, NBA Most Improved Player (2017), NBA All-Rookie Team (2014)

Suffice to say only the Bucks chose wisely with their draft pick in the first 15 selections.

Cant see how the Lakers manage to acquire either of them, they just dont have the assets.

One of the worst drafts of all time. Propped up by Giannis.

2 nba champions in that 15.

yep spot on.

yep spot on.

Very true, there are champions in that list. But as individual players, there is no question that Giannis would be Pick 1 on a re-draft.

Pretty sure when we did mock drafts on the basketball board i had giannis at no 1 or 2.

This is such a painful draft as an Orlando fan as this was the off-season we traded Dwight Howard and ended up with the #2 pick, who's arguably the 2nd best player from that draft now actually. And he ended up getting traded with Sabonis for Serge Freakin Ibaka. Ugh.

I remember MCW winning ROTY because Philly allowed him to shoot 25 times a game also.

Tbf the only film they had of Giannis was him dominating 5ft 10 school kids in Greece. He was quite a speculative pick.

He was playing in a pro league in Greece.

Pro league? He was the only one in the league who could dunk.
