If you think Giannis is the best basketball player in the world, then seek God.🤡🤡 Dude travels and charges constantly without being called. Of course, he is "unstoppable". And despite refs heavily on his side, the Celtics are still in this series.

Giannis just charges and travels the entire game… and I’m not a Celtics fan by any means
— RJ (@who_u_again) May 14, 2022

Giannis charges 90% of the time. It’s ridiculous.

@SHAQ don't ever say giannis is as dominant as you. The number of charges he commits are egregious!!! He needs to be on a field with all that. Nowhere near the same dominance pic.twitter.com/isFkZUZ8BG

What is wrong with these refs? They let Giannis commit charges with impunity.

Since his development into the ‘Greek Freak’, Giannis has always been an aggressive player. Like Shaq, he is an unstoppable force when he gets to the rim. With so much contact coming in during his rush to the basket, it is hard for the referees to call anything against him. His brute style allowed him to collect accolades after accolades and even earn the respect of fellow NBA players.
