    Default Potential Durant vs. Giannis Finals Matchup..

    Who would you expect to get the better of it?

    Durant has eviscerated LeBron in the last two Finals so I'd bet on him.

    At some point, I expect Giannis can beat a super-team with just one other all-star..

    just like MJ would (and did to the bad boys)

    Giannis doesn't need "moar help", and will win with a regular cast via teamwork and original brand of ball, thus proving how overrated Lebron was (needing so much help to win with a suboptimal style)

    That would probably make Curry or Klay FMVP.

    But if Giannis could beat the Warriors by doing that, it would be goat-level...

    Obviously, that's way better than teaming up with 2 perennial all-stars... Middleton is a 1-time all-star like 91 Pip

    The bulls won 47 games in 89' and would've missed the playoff cut without MJ.. so that was a lottery roster that he built into dynasty by 91' (EXACT SAME ROSTER)

    Would be an insane matchup. Unlike the last 2 matchups both starting Small Forwards play team oriented basketball so it'll be exciting watching possibly the 2 best forwards in league history (Too soon on Giannis?) go at it

    Giannis has straight dominated Durant in each of their matchups this season. Giannis will dick him down. Hopefully, the bucks can hold their own against the warriors because Giannis can certainly hold his own against Durant

    Kevin Durant moves like water at 6'11.....

    Like I know it's easy to hate on KD, but we have never seen a 6'11 guy move like him offensively.

    Giannis is a freak but I still think on the perimeter, KD scores on him.

    Assuming Finals defense being allowed, Giannis has a huge advantage, especially in the paint because he is so much stronger.

    Well moron, that’s because he’s a better on ball defender.

    He’s way quicker laterally, is quick with his hands, is physical, and knows how to frustrate.

    Especially weak minded and physical players like Katie Durant.

    As great of a season as Giannis is having, Katie is still the way superior basketball player.

    He’s almost just as long, and way more skilled. One of the top five shooters in the NBA. He also doesn’t excessively travel all over the court. They might not call all his carries but still basic footwork packages are there.

    And I say that as someone who likes Giannis the person and competitor more.
