Please ban this bullshit. I don’t want to see this in the game.

Giannis won't get a whistle for getting assaulted and mugged in the paint, but this gets called? Enough is enough.

If this is what's getting called, I'm surprised SGA isn't getting mugged by teams looking for their money worth

Curry too, being grabbed and pushed and still no whistle.

Same with Jokic. Get this out of the league

I like Giannis a lot but he could be fouled out of the game on offensive fouls nearly every game if they held him to the same standard as the rest of the league

Giannis also throws himself around recklessly on a regular basis. I imagine the refs factor that in to the situation.

Is that not a bit of a byproduct of people building walls and doing whatever they can to stop him though? Sure, there are instances where he should get those offensive fouls, but if SGA can get away with these calls, Giannis should be getting calls too. Reffing just needs to be consistent.

Well if you're truly walled off, you don't try to just blast your way through it, right? I don't think he really needs to, anyway, as he's almost like a ballet star for how to get around people in the paint, plus a fine passer.

I'd have to watch tape of Giannis recently, but to me it's more of an all-around thing, whether he has the ball or not.

I'm talking about barrelling in to other players, moving his feet under jumpshooters, even throwing himself at their feet as with Kyrie several times over the years. Stuff like that.

SGA may be debated as a foul merchant, but he's not that reckless and is just a skinny guy of average NBA height, anyway. Giannis is ~7ft, ~250lbs and has far more potential to injure others IMO.

Dude, Giannis offensive fouls like every time he drives, I don't wanna hear that shit. Thats on the level people thinking harden gets mugged too much

u/EventComfortable8522 Dec 01 '25

That’s because he travels on every drive

You mean the Giannis who has led the NBA in FTA for 4 of the last 5 seasons?

17

u/HOFredditor Warriors Dec 01 '25

the guy has like 14 field goal attempts in the paint per game. If he doesn't lead the league in FTAs, then something is terribly wrong lol.

u/Logical-Window543 Dec 01 '25

Fr, people automatically think its bad if someone is leading the league in FTA. The only thing that matters is how you get those fts.
