Yeah, sure, at first glance, that Giannis Antetokounmpo backboard block on the unassuming Stanley Johnson isn’t that impressive, but give it a second look. See how much explosion the Greek Freak gets with almost no space, and how he’s able to contort his impossible limbs to block that shot, even at an awkward angle. But, fine, maybe you’re still not impressed. Well, Giannis has an encore, just for you!
Two years ago, that’s a disastrous turnover for Giannis. Now, it’s as easy for him as breathing. His handles and control has improved so much that he can now drive from anywhere on the court, into and through traffic, and make the layup without any real difficulty. That’s just absurd, and honestly not fair for the rest of us mere mortals.
