Is Giannis Antetokounmpo a more fundamentally skilled player than Ben Simmons ? This topic came up because we mentioned one of the recent videos of the “Club Shay Shay” podcast hosted by Shannon Sharpe. His guest was Gilbert Arenas. I did agree that he is not the most skilled player in the league...not by far. Even with his two back to back MVP awards. I went so far as to name the even lesser ranked players that Giannis is not more SKILLED THAN.
“Fundamentally, talent is something you are born with (e.g. being fast, extroverted, great hand-eye coordination, amazing voice), whereas a skill is something that can be taught (e.g. the law, customer service, how to code)” This is how I AM grading them
As an illustration: Shaquille O’Neal even on his BEST DAY was never accused of being an amazingly skilled basketball player. He POSSESSED SKILL but what made him a DOMINANT FORCE was his PHYSICAL GIFTS and TALENTS. Shaq WAS/IS not a more skilled player than many of his peers but the gap between his physical talents far exceeded those of his contemporaries. My argument is the same with Giannis. That his Ratio of skill v talent is very lopsided BUT due to his natural abilities he’s able to dominate. Giving us a modern day vision of Shaq during his time. Having more skill DOES NOT make you better.
A skilled player that is slow,short, unathletic won’t be able to compete with someone else that has some skill but is HIGHLY GIFTED PHYSICALLY
Giannis IS IN FACT BETTER THAN BEN.
