The #NBA Most Deadliest Play #damianlillard #giannisantetokounmpo Pick and Roll
Published 2023-11-03
In this video, we break down the mind-blowing moves that reshaped the NBA landscape during the off-season. Damian Lillard's departure from Portland after a decade of loyalty, his almost move to Miami with Jimmy Butler, and his eventual pairing with Giannis in Milwaukee is the talk of the town. The Bucks gave up Jrue, a bunch of picks, and more just to make it happen! The Suns got Nurkic, Allen, Little, and Johnson, while the Celtics acquired Jrue in a complex trade that involved several players.
But it doesn't stop there. I'll show you why Dame and Giannis are now the most terrifying duo in the league, and how they execute the deadliest play in basketball – the Dame and Giannis pick and roll. 🏀🔥
First, I break down Dame's elite shooting skills. He's one of the best in the game, with Steph Curry being the only one to challenge him. Dame's ability to hit from anywhere on the court makes the pick and roll a lethal weapon. With around 50% shooting from mid-range and 40% from beyond the arc, he's a scoring machine you don't want to go under the screen against.
Next, we have Giannis, a two-time MVP and a monster in the paint. He converts an incredible 75% of his shots inside, making him nearly unstoppable when he rolls to the rim.
And don't forget the supporting cast – Bobby Portis, Brook Lopez, Khris Middleton, and Malik Beasley. They're all knock-down shooters, ready to capitalize on any defensive lapse. The Bucks' pick and roll threat goes beyond just Dame and Giannis. Double-teaming them might leave these shooters wide open for deadly three-pointers.
I’ll showcase a remarkable pick and roll play in the Bucks' season opener, demonstrating how teams struggle to defend against Dame and Giannis. It's a nightmare for opponents, with the likes of Beasley, Middleton, and Lopez prepared to drain threes.
Dame and Giannis are already cooking up some nasty tricks with their pick and roll, including the inverted pick and roll. Giannis starts the play, and Dame sets the screen, creating a unique mismatch that bewilders defenses. It's a move that's a work in progress but leaves defenders in a bind.
