Coast to Coast Giannis

Continuing the Giannis in transition theme, I suspect the 22-year-old will show off his ability to cover space with his long strides. Pointing towards the lack of defense played, he could really put on a show. My prediction is that he pulls off his signature fast break dunk multiple times.

The Greek Freak is capable of going coast to coast with as little as four dribbles. That’s just unheard of in the game of basketball, and could give the highlight of the night to the young man.

I have a feeling that if and when he does pull off a monstrous fast break dunk, he brings out the Larry David general annoyance mean mug. I’m not sure how the other players will react to it in the All-Star game. Who knows, perhaps it sparks some competitiveness from the West team.

His enthusiasm has led to some other NBA All-Stars taking it personally this season. The All-Star game, is supposed to be a loving get together, and I could see his enthusiasm hurting some feelings. I’m all for it, Giannis is in the right, just loving the game. The NBA needs more dark feelings anyway.
