Giannis is not a finished product. He’s learning how. He had a short off-season when that kind of work gets done. The article shouldn’t say “isn’t”, it should say “isn’t yet”. The guy is 26 years old, ffs. When Durant was 26, he was losing a 3-1 lead to the Warriors the season before he joined them. No one was saying Durant was the best player in the NBA then.
I love how recency bias feeds the sports world… all of a sudden the shine is off the star of Giannis Antetokounmpo as if at age 26, growing up playing soccer in some ghetto in Athens was going to make him a finished product by 26. It’s fucking stupid…
