Has Giannis actually become underrated?

    Couldn’t care less what some YouTube opinion is. They’ll create a storyline where there isn’t one, just to generate traffic.

  2. I’ve never heard anyone say he’s outside the top 3 players in the world. Hard to be underrated if you’re in that tier. I watched the Kenny vid, and he basically just outlined that the Bucks had a chaotic year.

    Underappreciated… absolutely. Underrated… eh.

    This is the Bucks sub, right?

    Then Giannis is the GD GOAT; so, yes, he’s underrated

    Top 1 in the league nuff said

    Idk MVP talks have kinda fucked him over the past couple of seasons.

    I’d say so. He wasn’t even considered in the MVP race this year. Not saying he deserves it more than any other candidate, but what makes Jokic, Shai or Luka have a better case for MVP? Slightly better records?

    Last years MVP race he was top 3, but Jokic vs Embiid dominated the votes/media. Again, not counting the others out, but Giannis had just as good of, if not a better campaign

    Also, he’s one of if not the best defensive players in the league. Yet in the last two years he didn’t even make All-Defensive Second team. And the year Marcus Smart won, Giannis should’ve and he wasn’t even a top 3 candidate.

    I’ve never seen somebody hit with voter fatigue so quick. I just hope the Bucks can stay healthy this year.

    Recency bias in US media has made it so. Being hurt in the playoffs 2 years in a row is not great for his coverage. The same thing happened to Kawhi, but he has a much longer history of not being able to play. However, people who actually watch the sport know better to underrate Giannis

    Recency bias + he’s missed the playoffs with injuries for the last 2 years
