NHT: That big Greek guy in the NBA

[Cardiac]

Still wish Danny and the Celtics took a chance on him over Olynyk.

Yah think?

Yah think?

Yes, he's better than Olynyk.

Just goes to show that nobody knows anything

You had to know that was sarcasm. Yes?

This gives you an idea of how freakishly built nba players are. Here is Greek Freak standing next to Brooks Koepka who the golf world marvels at how big and jacked he is. He looks like a small child next to Greek Freak.

He looks like he’s a foot taller than Kobe. He’s incredible.

I love watching this kid play. He seems to be a happy go lucky kid with super high character, the perfect face for the game.

That was the joke, brother.

Crazy, this one always blows my mind...

If you know his life story you have to love the guy but his appreciation for his life in the NBA is incredible.

What a poo draft in general.

What a poo draft in general.

Freak, Gobert, Oladipo, Oriahki and everyone else.

What a poo draft in general.

Wow, there are only about 5 players from that entire draft. McCollum at 10 was a steal, Giannis of course, but other than Burke, Porter and Gobert, not much else.

Oladipo at #2 too! He was a late bloomer but he's a two-time All-star and an All-NBA guard.

Edit: Steven Adams is great too.

Bennett was one of the biggest busts ever, Oladipo is starting to put a career together but when you see guys like Cody Zeller at 4?!?

Lol, my bad, I looked at the list and Oladipo and Adams stood out right away, I forgot to add them to my list. Seems crazy to me that Adams has only been in the league 6 years.

The kid euro-step dunks from the circle routinely. He’s the most physically gifted player that has probably ever been and he’s only 24.

Sure, this is more like a recruiting video where nobody misses, but we should be looking for kids like this.

I know a few once-in-a-generation 6'11 athletes with point guard skills, growth potential, unrivaled work ethic, and hands that could palm one of those weird spinning globes in middle school. I'll call them up.

 

[Huskyforlife]

The title annoys me, can someone change it to Giannis?

 

[Travelman6]

Anyone catch his airball vs the nets the other day though?
