    Default What if Greek Freak wins the nba championship?

    Rookie to Most improved player to

    MVP + FMVP + franchise player against the most stacked team in history with one of the most sub-par lineups ever?

    Dare I say he gets the MIP again?

    He would automatically get into the top 20 of all time for me and start knocking on the top 10 players.

    I mean we are talking about a time where LBJ arguable top 5 wont even bother suiting up if he doesnt have 2 All-stars with him

    Houston or the Bucks can beat anyone if the stars align just on their shooting alone. Both are respectable contenders but one of these days a borderline contending team is going to fluke their way to a ring just by hitting 3's. Orlando was the closest I saw to this in 09. All those guys got overrated and/or inflated contracts based on that run. And then the other side was Houston when they missed an ungodly amount of 3s on their way out of the playoffs.

    Everyone goes from "Rookie" to MIP. Every MIP has been a rookie. What?

    He hasn't even made an All-NBA 1st team yet.

    And there's no universal "top 20 all-time" list. You should say "my top 20 all-time", do you know how long the NBA has been around? He's already "knocking" on the top 10, meaning he's already surpassed the likes of Kobe, Hakeem etc? Okay. If your hypothetical came true, he'd be a 1x All-NBA First team, 1x Champion and 1x Finals MVP. I can name about 65 players with a better resume, probably more.

    Bucks aren't there yet. They've had a nice regular season, but Giannis doesn't have enough help around him to win it all.

    Nobody can sustain shooting to the level needed to win a best out of 7 series. Some might come close but thats the best they can do.

    Thats my point. They can very well win it.

    And it would be possibly the greatest achievement in nba history given the current playing field

    This isn't a binary situation. It is possible. And I provided an example of a team that won more than 1 round just off of hot shooting.

    Nobody is beating a healthy GSW in the playoffs.

    Hoping Toronto or the Bucks pull it off. Have far more faith in Toronto, since Kawhi is experienced and knows what he is doing in the playoffs.
