I will get banned if i am trolling a fanbase or being hateful so let me ask this question objectively.

How and why do people enjoy him play as neutrals. As a fan of the sport I like artistry in basketball, I like the tough battles and physicality in football but football is like war and basketball is like smooth jazz. But his is a football player playing basketball. Theres no IQ, skill, hes just running in and dunking it or making a clown of himself losing the ball. He is supposedly a 'hard worker' but its clear he only works hard in the gym and not to improve in skills. Personally I like watching skilled players perform magic, not watch a guy stronger and faster than anyone just run past guys and when that is taken away look like bambi, most people ive talked to agreed hes not fun to watch as well, so why do you like him?

He didn't create a museum dedicated to himself and then charge for admission.

I hate this sub man

For some reason I can never leave for long though, it's like an addiction

He's pretty awesome to watch when he's really 'on,' but I agree, Giannis is a pretty painful watch most of the time. He's clumsy, his footwork is trash, he's always jumpers he has no business shooting, he's always getting called for traveling, or getting away with traveling.... It can be really ugly.

Nuggets fans try not to tear down every other great player challenge (impossible)

In a league full of skill and finesse players sometimes it’s just nice to shut your brain off and watch the hulking behemoth mow through people
