This is the best version of Giannis we’ve seen yet

Giannis Antetokounmpo just had a historic 14 game stretch, in those games he’s averaging:

33.6 PPG and 11.4 RPG on an absurd 65.2% FG

no one has EVER averaged that over 14 games until now

It’s an incredibly dominant run Giannis is on right now. The addition of Damian Lillard has opened up the offence in the half court for him where he’s averaging 66.7% FG on half court drives. Recently Kirk Goldsberry highlighted how dominant he has been in the paint and his stat further reinforces that. We haven’t seen anything like this from a player.

If this sounds cherry picked I decided to lessen the requirements to only 33 PPG on at least 65% FG, the only other person to do that would be Karl Malone in his 89-90 season.
