    I guess. Hakeem and Giannis were/are very athletic and can move their feet.

    Lol. This means something to the Combine and that means something to those dudes drafting you.

    Background matters too. Africans do play soccer and that allows them to have superior footwork.

    Also you said there ends the comparisons, I just said the comparisons dun end there.

    I just realized you mean their games, okay, but you have to specifically say that.

    It will determine if it's a serious conversation or a loose one.

    They do play differently but the result is the same - Domination!

    They are also serious 2 way players.

    Worst opening round series in a while.

    Can't watch this anymore. The East needs to start the 2nd round already.

    The crowd in Detroit is thirsty, they cheer like they won something every time they got a bigger lead.

    Being an African immigrant matters in the drafting process? Come on, man. Of course I mean their games, it's implied when comparing 2 basketball players. Where am I right now?

    Pistons need to change the court design. It looks like this game is being played in Philly

    All good. The point is still the comparisons do not end there, at least that is my take. We just disagree there, that is fine!

    Nope, the culture will impact their game.

    Look, the Bucks are prolly getting a dog fight coming to them. They are still closing this out at home.

    I dun think seriousness is what this series needed.

    And why can we just talk freely about Nigerians?

    Hakeem is being mentioned and folks are trying to say he was so special and above everyone else......well nobody is taking away from his game.

    I am sure Yannis heard about Hakeem, and looked up part of his game. No biggie.

    He doesn't do it as smoothly as Hakeem, he is more mechanical and forceful, has more hangtime.

    Yannis is a shotblocker but a weakside shotblocker, a help defender.

    Hakeem also gets those, but normally he is in the middle facing opponents.

    Good lord I thought I was the only one that thought that! If Giannis makes one more good play TNT is going to have to hire a glory hole attendant to clean the table under his mic.

    LOL. They are going to foul out the whole Pistons team.

    29 to 8 ft disparity.

    32 to 8 free throw disparity.

    And the media won’t mention the free throws at all. Only how great Giannis is.

    I mean Detroit has what it take to win one game but IMO the Bucks are just toying with them, fouling out their bigs.

    After Curry, Giannis has the narrative to become the next Media Darling!
