My Bucks finally have a player worthy of MVP talk!!!!

That's all I have to say for now.

Hoping this thread (because of his rising superstardom) becomes very long over the coming years.

I am looking forward to the Badgers having a good tournament though!

He had a particularly vicious dunk during the All-Star Game that Steph Curry had no desire to get in the way of:

No chance of a Milwaukee Buck winning the MVP trophy due to being a small market team in today's NBA.

Durant won it a few years ago. It's not like OKC is a huge media market.

Giannis won't win it this year because he's not quite the best player in the league. He's in the conversation, definitely, but he's not the front runner.

KD is much better than Giannis and he played for a contender. Giannis would not be the best player on about 20 teams right now. Just a bog fish in a small pond. He is good and fun to watch but will never win an MVP.

Of course playing defense in the all star game is a big deal, Giannis still needs to develop a perimeter shot and improve his defense and he should be in the discussion every year.

Wrong. He's top definitely 10 player in the league. Brian Windhorse said he's putting him 5th on his MVP  ballet.  Also he's 22 and the bucks look like a contender for the next few years.

I had no idea you were a basketball fan.  I am a fairly casual one but I do like it. :-)

If he continues to get better as he has done I definitely think the ceiling is pretty high.  Just think he could maybe be a bit better on the glass for his height maybe?  But I guess how he is used may hinder that a bit?  Small markets always get crap, you hear it all the time.  The big fish small pond comparisons are often a bit on the silly side.  I grew up in MN and they said the same thing about KG...then he went to Boston.  I am cheering for the Bucks now that I live in WI, but I sure hope my Wolves can figure things out eventually.  KAT put up 25 and 12 this year and I would love to see him in this conversation one day as the team improves.  Hopefully Levine can get healthy, he was just starting to learn to be more than a dunk specialist.  In the meantime, go Bucks!

I had no idea he averaged 8.7 rebounds per game this season until I just looked it up. That's really, really good considering they play him almost exclusively on the perimeter.

Yeah the more I think about it, and how he is used, I don't know that is actually gets much better than that...

Windhorst is just a Lebron fanboy; not a legitimate sports journalist. 

...and the Bucks a contender? Come on man! No one contends from the East until Lebron leaves.

So him being a lebron fan boy has what to do with Giannis? Cav's are the class of the east this year probably next then we will see.  If Jabari ends up at 75-80% when he gets back after the all start break next year they will probably win a series. 2018-2019 if healthy they will contend in the east IMO. Lebron won't be Lebron in a few years father time is undefeated. Have you watched the bucks besides these 4 playoff games? I'm not asking to be a jerk I was just curious.

Probably 20+ regular season games. Windhorst is not a good journalist imo (as well as many agents I know personally).

Him being a not so good journalist means his opinion isn't valid? If you watched tonight your "big fish in a small pond" argument is ludicrous. Giannis is 22 and hasn't even developed a reliable jumper yet.  Your entitled to your opinion even though I don't agree with it in anyway.

Windhorst is not respected amongst his peers. That is what makes his opinion not valid. 

Don't get me wrong giannis is good but not great. His is an athletic specimen. However he played 41 minutes and his team lost by 25.

I didn't realize 1 player could win in the NBA? How many titles did LeBron win without 2 all stars on his team?

      Eh. He broke ONE of Tiger's records. Youngest to be ranked #1 in AJGA. It didn't help that Tiger's birthday is in late December, or that Tiger didn't play many AJGA events before he was 15. Did he do any of these things? TIGER WOODS' AMATEUR VICTORIES YEAR WIN(S) 1984 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1985 10-and- under Junior World Golf Championships Boys    1988 Boy's 11-12 Junior World Golf Championships   1989 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships   1990 Boy's 13-14 Junior World Golf Championships, Insurance Youth Golf Classic   1991 U.S. Junior Amateur, Boys 15–17 Junior World Golf Championships, Orange Bowl International Junior Look at some other AJGA Players of the Year.

      Day 56: 4/19/2024 Okay, even though I'll be teeing it up in a tournament in less than a week. I couldn't find time to get to the range today.  I spent time on the indoor putting mat.  And I spent time in front of the mirror with my 7 iron. Then again later with the driver.  I also thoroughly cleaned all my clubs.
