In year 13 Giannis should’ve been learned how to shoot the basketball. All the stars in the east besides Giannis can bail their teams out every night with a simple consistent jumper from mid range to 3 point range.. imagine how many potential ecf or finals runs the bucks could’ve had in the last 5-6 years.. probably could’ve even had at least 2 rings.. Giannis not having a clutch jumper is a big reason they haven’t even been out the first round since 2021 and lost to teams with their best players having clutch jump shooting ability

Stop the Cap 🧢.
Giannis’s Midrange shot has improved alot leading into this season.
This Buck’s team just is not properly constructed around Giannis’s strengths anymore.
As much as I would love for Giannis to stay in Milwaukee for his entire career I think it’s probably best for both of them to move forward from each other and start Fresh.

@gabrielalele8603 Improved a lot this season? Irrelevant. Original comment is correct
@gabrielalele8603
January 22, 2026 at 6:18 pm
@TorSavvy: His shot has improved over time. My comment still stands.
@TorSavvy
January 22, 2026 at 7:15 pm
@gabrielalele8603 Fair. But two things can be true. His shot improved, but his whole game should be rounded out by now. He needs to run point to not be a liability on offense. It’s not sustainable. Not a real post threat or off ball shooter. Hard to build a team around that.
@gabrielalele8603
January 22, 2026 at 8:10 pm
@TorSavvy: His Post game is actually pretty solid. One of the strongest post players in the league. Has trained with Hakeem Olajuwon arguably the Greatest Footwork player of AllTime. This current team is just not properly constructed around him. They need better shooters around him.

Giannis is shooting 1.3 3pa on 39.5% shooting and Stephen A said it’s comparable to Steph…

Buddy if your taking anything that SSA takes seriously you need to reevaluate yourself SA is a complete joke hes a jester that just regurgitates the same dogshit talking points for clicks and views he has no real valuable input on anything hes been bashing on lebron and other big names for views and whatever the popular opinion is he either regurgitates it or manipulates it to say the opposite for virality its all just a curious for entertainment 😂

Wake the hell up and trade Giannis? That has gotta be one of the dumbest takes.
I get wanting the best for Giannis as a player but trading Giannis does nothing to help the bulks and as an organization they should keep him until they have no other choice. Unless someone giving up a star for him.
Once they trade Giannis they’re going to go back to being what they have been basically since Kareem … Irrelevant.
Why would they want to rush to being without Giannis?

Gianns is ruining his “prime” & the bucks organization is letting him do by not telling him they run the show he just plays 🏀!! That ’21 championship looks like “lightning in a bottle” instead of the beginning of dominance, he hasn’t been able to duplicate it since then……….just saying 🤔😐!!

January 22, 2026 at 4:14 pm
Giannis either needs to leave this off-season or stay and suck it up because all of this is his fault, bro wanted Doc Rivers as a coach (despite him Adrian being a good coach) the entire Bucks organization is reaping what they sow after doing coach Bud dirty asl. 😂😂😂
@TorSavvy
January 22, 2026 at 5:55 pm
Nah Bud was trash. Giannis saved old boy. They should’ve kept Kris and Drew

The Bucks have 0 talent outside of Giannis. What type of question is it to ask what’s their issue?

Media just wants him out of Milwaukee. Steph has zero chance of whining on the warriors , where’s the media begging him to leave.
