What happened to him that he rarely shoots 3s anymore? Look at how effortlessly he was doing it back in the Summer League.

idk but unrelated note did you hear what the commentator calls him after that first 3
Jason Kidd
Kidd had him not attempt any for an entire season. Although adding all that bulk and changing his shooting style didn’t help either. Plus he kept growing when he got to the league so presumably his hands got just a bit larger which also affected it.
Realistically, Bud should have had him working in that midranger instead of free rein to hoist seven threes at the top of the key per game. The midrange shot is easy, low effort baskets that punish the D for playing off him.
Let me say this form the bottom of by pitch black heart: FUCK Potatohead.
Giannis is the best player in the universe, and that’s with a broken shot that Potatohead and the Bucks destroyed.
Finally, Giannis said fuck this shit, and he went outside the organization to hire his own personal coaches:
– Tatum’s shooting coach
– Mike Kalavros from Olympiacos BC: an absolute legend of a player development coach
It’s no wonder that the first year he worked out with another coach came Buck as one of the best mid-range shooters in the league.
I pray they do the same with his FTs and 3P. I would love nothing more for Giannis to age into prime KD.
It was Oppenheimer if your asking. Josh Oppenheimer was his shooting coach from 2020-2024 and you can clearly see Giannis shooting form change during that time. Also after Oppenheimer leaves Giannis immediately has his career midrange shooting year.
I just wasn’t Giannis to run fast and jump high for the sole reason of spiting James Hardin.
His body. How is this not common sense?
