    Giannis with 1 good NBA player would have been a menace.

    Whats really impressive is that if Giannis played one more game, hed be above the guys that played 2 more games than him in the tournament.

      people were calling him “some random NBA player” which was wild to me

        Why? He’s never been an allstar, has no accolades in the NBA, he’s a good starter and that’s it. He absolutely is “some random NBA player” to the average fan

          Because he’s a good player. Not like he’s a dude that rides the bench and gets 6 minutes a game. He’s not a superstar but he is good. I think most NBA fans know who he is. I would consider “some random NBA player” a bench guy most people that aren’t fans of the team have never heard of.

      Bogi is and has been a killer, every time I see him he’s lighting the Celtics up and talking his shit, a favorite role player of mine

      My respect for Bogdan increased.

      I propose we change the meaning of the UK/NZ phrase “Bog standard”

      i thought it was gonna be an asterisk for a majority of points scored from free throws

        Before I clicked the link, I thought the asterisk signified ties. It’s just a coincidence I guess

    step scoring more than lebron considering he only showed up during the last 2 games is impressive. of course it’s also a given that lebron played more of a facilitator role but point still stands

    This put some perspective on Luka’s last Olympics performance.

    Scoring 143 total points and he also dropped 48 on his Olympic debut.

      And that puts Oscar Schmidt’s 1988 olympic performance in perspective - 338 pts in 8 games. More than twice Luka’s 143…

    Totally makes sense that the European teams ranked much higher - the had to lean on their star a lot more than the US did.
