2 playoff games the past 2 years. Time for him to slow down and start thinking about changing his playstyle to extend his career.

Giannis seemingly took loads of PEDS, bulked up one offseason which gave him the weight and strength and maybe a little more explosion and since has done absolutely nothing to improve his game. Like Lebron and Shaq he succeeds because he's physically dominant. It's been years since that physical transformation and he's the exact same player the only difference is his usage and numbers went up in lockstep. He still can't shoot threes. He still can't shoot FTs at a respectable rate. He still has no back to the basket or mid-range game. Despite this he's been one of the best PF the game has ever seen. Imagine if he actually had pride and worked on his skills as hard as he worked on his body.
