Why does Giannis score 40 and 15 and look terrible doing it?

The dude plays the whole game looking about as offensively inept as you will see and always ends up with 40 points.its amazing,the dude would score 60 a game if he could shoot at all.
12

Because he is, at least for a superstar and league MVP

bc the other team has 5 players trying to stop him

It just seems like when I make it a point to watch him I end up watching the game and thinking he must have had 20 points.after I watch I go look at the box score and it says 40,and this isnt occasionally,literally every time I watch him I think he must have scored half the points he did.
I started making a game out of it just to see what he scores vs vs what it feels like. It's hard to do though because they update the stats on the screen so much.

Because he doesn't spam threes to get his points which is what we're conditioned to seeing lately when players score a lot. I don't think he looks terrible, he just scores in a different way. He's damn near unstoppable on drives and lobs.

Because he can’t shoot. He is the shaq of this era. But tbh his # the last couple years are better than shaqs ever were.

Sorry simple arithmetic is difficult.
I can draw you a house if that helps.

Because he can’t shoot jumpers or FTs.

Because he’s basically Ben Simmons if Ben worked his arse off and reached his peak.
He’s still pretty bad at free throws and despite him working on his 3…it’s still bad

His game is so ugly. He can't shoot, neither from 3 or mid-range, his handless arent that good either.
His entire game is driving to the whole and finishing, but he's incredibly elite at that one thing.

Because he's 6'11 with enough athleticism to get the job done, but with no meaningful basketball skills outside of "yam ball through hoop" or "be taller than other man"

He was pretty good last night. Aggressive at the hoop and some vintage Lebron type slams
I don’t understand the way the Bucks use him as the primary ball handler on these possessions tho. Let him run around and get open by the rim. His little run forward then run back really far and run faster to the hoop is such a weird version of pro basketball offense
But last night in particular, if the bucks could get one guy from their bench to score a point every once in a while they would cruise through the East.
I think they were like 6-32 from 3 at one point last night. And they’ve shot like that during the entire playoffs.
They should also never let Lopez back on the court while trae young is on it during this series and put Giannis at the 5

Because he has no skill at all and the refs let him get away with bullying his way to the rim.

Dude’s 7 feet tall, just how good of an outside shooter do you expect him to be? Dork and Durant are unicorns not the rule.
He’s shot over 70% from the FT line for his career, that’s better than what Tim Duncan did.

Giannis should shoot from 12 feet in, work on his FT shooting and develop a bank shot. He will never be a good ball handler. He will never be a good shooter. But he has the athleticism and tenacity to score 25ppg and kinda make it look easy.
The guy is probably taller/more athletic than 80% of the league. He can eurotravel or just broad jump and dunk on most players. He can be more efficient trying to do less IMO.

He is a good ball handler.
How many 7 footers can lead a fast break.go coast to coach grab a rebound take the ball up court and dunk.
You can count them on one hand.

I don’t think rockets fans are allowed to complain about how superstars get officiated for atleast another decade
