I guess your right. Can't be a turnover if he gets the ball back. It's why I hate the arrow in college basketball. Why even call it a jump ball? lol

Utah defended him the same way with Gobert and it resulted in Gobert laying on his back half the possessions and getting benched in the 4th. Pretty much everyone has tried putting a big man on him and letting him take jumpers and it’s almost never worked. Like I said, he just uses the space to get up to full speed and pushes guys out of his way on his way to a dunk (and he’s also been hitting the jump shots that he does take).

And not to mention, 5 blocks, which might put him the only one in the history of the NBA.
And there it is.. The yearly MJ comparison

You don't have to push so hard for him

He's going to get MVP over Harden regardless

Deservedly so, he's been the media darling.

They shorted Harden at least one year, but it was almost nothing else Garden could do yo win except have the leagues best record and that belongs to the Bucks.

I was just delivering what I saw on Twitter from the Bucks Twitter account.

He is too young to be compared to any legend.

All media has different angles and takes, some media favor Harden over Giannis.

They've both had great years.

Regardless

Harden has taken way more criticisms for his great year.

It's over

My point about Harden is, they've already selected their man.

It's kinda easy to see who they want by paying attention to who they're talking about and how.

Giannis has been at the forefront all year, even talking about him being the face of the league.

Even when Harden went insane they were talking about how it's not conducive to win

That's all you need to know.
