    Prince is your next superstar. He reminds me of Tim Duncan/ Brandon Roy type. He is so damn fundamental and yet he is a superstar.

    Isn't Greak Freak redundant?

    Like ... "That girl is greak ... a greek freak." I need a ruling from @Jontro

    Well guys, it's here! The new "Rudy Gay is about to show the world he's on Durant's level"! And it really couldn't be any crazier. I really like Taurean Prince but he's actually a year older than Giannis and nowhere near the player. How in the hell is he going to surpass him when he's older than him and still nowhere close to where Antetokounmpo is at?

    Tim Duncan / Brandon Roy type? Are you saying Brandon Roy was like Duncan?

    The greek freek is an athletic beast, but he can't shoot and he isn't a winner. I see him like a melo and kyrie: great at self-promotion on the basketball court, great at getting a bunch of numbers, not very good at making others around him better.

    Taurean is up and coming. If people haven't seen him play, the guy is so fundamental and so damn good. He is like Jimmy Butler was a few years back. The more muscle he puts on, the more he is going to be unstoppable. The kid is just great.

    If Giannis was on the Hawks they would be a playoff team.

    As of now, they look to be one of the worst teams of all time.

    Advantage Giannis.

    Here is an example. This performance by prince last year was a master class in how to thoroughly beat your opponent every way possible. It probably didn't even make sportscenter because who watches Atlanta.

    1. And Taurean Prince is a winner? I'm not seeing the Hawks win a lot of games in his tenure.
    2. Giannis is already better than peak Jimmy Butler and he's still only 23. Taurean Prince is 24 already. While Giannis is playing for an MVP Trophy Prince, a year older, is hoping he can make his first all-star team.

    Naw, man.
