Dirk, Hakeem, and early Tim Duncan has.
And to be clear, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton would be enough for any other MVP caliber player, like Luka, KD, Dame, Harden, Jokic, Embiid or Steph.
Jrue is an all-defensive team caliber guard that can get his own shot. And Khris is a big wing that can get his own shot.
But the issue is on the Bucks, is that Giannis can't get his own shot, so he needs a supreme shotmaker/playmaker like Dame. Giannis ideally, wouldn't be the first option or even the second option on a championship team.
So Giannis keeps getting players around him that are good players, but he don't exactly needs. Then it's, "Oh Khris Middleton isn't doing enough."
And I am like yeah, but Giannis was getting 30 14 and 6 in 30 mins and kicking everybody's ass but he can't do it in the playoffs. Khris Middleton isn't a top 25 player. His job is to play off Giannis and if Giannis can't play like he does in the regular season, his team isn't going to win.
I know that Giannis played well in Game 1, but he needs to dominate the game and he hasn't this playoffs. I thought he would go off since James Harden was out and it was a chance to steal a game.
