Haha. I knew who started this thread before even looking. A clown being a clown.

Paul Pierce already declared the bucks-heat series over.

I would declare the OP correct if you don't give consideration to basketball.

OK, if you asked all GM's who would they take and it would be unanimous - Luka looks great too though

Wouldn't be unanimous as the Dallas GM would take Luka as would about 20 of the others. I think the Clips were actually scared of Dallas when the Mavs had a full team. No one is afraid of the under performing Bucks when the guys on the court seem to be afraid of the spotlight and then they have a guy like Bledsoe who won't even suit up.

You think all the GMs would unanimously take Giannis over Luka? I don't know man.

25 vs. 21. Slight weaknesses for both but I believe when Luka gets really desperate to win, he will get into elite shape and play hard on both ends.

Everyone would take Giannis

I mean look at tonight's game. Against a good team, Giannis' game didn't translate very well. Against a good team and great defender like K. Leonard, Doncic dominated. He dominated the entire series even without KP. He dominated a team that had KL and P. George on the defensive end.

Doncic has a much higher ceiling IMO.

Giannis, if you’re gonna take D out of equation you may as well say what if they were same height. The game is the game.

I'll make sure to bump this after Milwaukee wins the championship.

Doncic with the much higher ceiling? Hahahaa. What is Giannis ceiling? Greatest player ever?

I love when people start this stuff obviously all based off of a single game.

edit: Doncic didn't dominate that series obviously Kawhi Leonard did.

Miami-Boston/Tor-LAL/LAC will be their road most likely

When the Bucks can't run, they really gotta work for their pts in the halfcourt. 3 straight very good halfcourt defense teams in a row.

Who knows what is gonna happen with bubble ball w/ injuries/mindset and intangible stuff, but I feel like I'd be decently surprised if they won. And I think Giannis is the best in the league.

Hate to bring politics into the thread but having your team on the phone with the Wisconsin DA and being in the national news for something other than basketball is less of a distraction when you're playing the Magic instead of legit teams. Not ideal.

Or the reverse argument the OP would make if it fit his narrative. "Why are you celebrating the white guy(Dionic) when the black guy(Kwahi) is a better player and his team beat the white guy's team in 6 games" Typical conservaSHIT thinking. ;)

Man, wouldn't I love to see the Celtics crush the Flakers in the NBA finals. I'm boycotting the NBA for the most part, but if a Celtics/Lakers
final happens, I will watch.
