Why does Giannis look like Stringer Bell lecturing on Inelastic products 😂
Antetokounbros and hundreds, if not thousands, fans left OAKA after Game 4 of the Greek Finals suspended with 2:46 to go in the third quarter. Objects and smoke bombs were thrown from the stands into the court, while Olympiacos were up 28.

Paul Pierce wasn't better in his prime than Wade, but he was an incredible player who absolutely could've won more chips with better teams early.

Steph Curry is running 7.7 P&R per game, most of his career. He's scoring 1.20 ppp, 95th percentile.
So, a Steph Curry P&R generates more efficient offense than Giannis on the break (1.17ppp).

There's definitely something to how their ball dominance is perceived differently.
My hottest take right now is that Jalen Brunson plays a less efficient version of Luka ball with the Knicks but it’s hailed as amazing because it’s fresher
