I usually like watching this raw talent play, but the more I see him play, there are big negatives to me. First, a others point out, he consistently walks/travel/carries and gets away with it way too often. If the NBA tightens this up ever, then what will he do, take jumpers, which he isn't great at?

But the bigger negative, some might see it as a positive, is his wreckless D. He runs out of control to chase down the block. The one with Mario is simply ridiculous, why wasn't there a foul on that play? This same out of control style led to Kristaps injury last year. He runs full speed at people with no intent to stop nor leave room for people to land safely, but he complains he was disrespected, when either the play before or two, he clearly took 3 outrageous steps and got the basket, maybe an and 1. Can't recall

What do you folks think on the Greek Freak?

He publicly threatened Hezonja's nuts. Should get fined imho. As for not leaving room for others to land, yeah he is a dirty player.

He's a beast and has the potential to be the best player in the league and the Bucks didn't need to tank to get him.

He only threatened one nut to clarify.

He is an AHole can't wait till Mitchell Robinsons frame fills out. He can stand under him when he lands so he tears his acl

I'll take him lol I don't think we have to worry about the league ever cracking down on Freak's footwork. If AI and Kobe could get away with palming for their careers, then Freak is fine. Plus, I think the majority of his steps are legal anyway. He's a top 5 player IMHO.

Never realized how truly ****ty of a shooter he is. Anything beyond 3 feet and he sucks horribly.
Dude lives up to his nickname though. Too bad I guess he thinks he's beyond getting punked for what should have been a dirty foul.

Good for Mario!

Mario stepped over his legs. Dude is 7 feet long. Get over your self!!!
Sure I'd welcome him here if he wants.
Prediction: KP for the Freak trade when he wants to bolt Bucks.

He's a superstar no doubt about that and the NBA protects their $$$ makers. But his reckless D yes...he should get fined for just not caring about another person in the air.

Btw, that flex after the retaliatory dunk...wow he dunked with no one around him and then flexed Lebitch style...wow we are so impressed
He has pretty much said he wants to finish out career in Milwaukee...so no trades happening and he does have strong family and team loyalty. But he's definitely turning into a player who is relying more on strength than skill and it'll go south for him.

I personalty like Davis game more. Freak is more durable zo.
They are both spoiled brats which is a trademark of NBA new generation stars.
If anyone at this young age will get so much wealth and attention results will be similar.

You should read up on Freak's family background. They were basically phantoms in Greek society before officials noticed he could play basketball.

I read the article on him and Enes.
Europe is a tough place for emigrants.
Nationalism is the name of the game.
Politicians opened the door... but it in fact was a trap.
Door into the cage with wolfs.
This "white" people who run to America were no angels.
But those who left are worth... Especially East and South.
Thousand yeas of bloodshed, wars, inquisition, genocide left a huge impressions into mentality of European nations.

Im not sure what kind of revenge he's looking for. He did what he did in the 1st quarter and he had the entire game to retaliate
