They Say Giannis Isn't "Skilled" Enough? The Heat Disrespect Is Getting Ridiculous

The disrespect toward the Miami Heat continues — and now Giannis Antetokounmpo is taking the heat too.

Despite being an NBA champion, Finals MVP, multiple-time MVP and one of the most dominant players of his generation, Giannis is once again facing criticism about whether he is “skilled” enough. This time, Channing Frye’s comments have given Heat fans plenty to talk about.

On this episode of Battered Heat Fans, we react to the criticism of Giannis and ask a simple question: What exactly do people consider skill in today’s NBA?

Does Giannis need an elite jump shot to be considered skilled? Are people ignoring his footwork, handle, passing, finishing and ability to consistently create offense despite defenses being specifically designed to stop him?

And it’s not just Giannis.

We’ll discuss why the new-look Heat continue to be overlooked despite a roster featuring Giannis, Bam Adebayo, Klay Thompson, Andrew Wiggins and Erik Spoelstra — and whether all this disrespect could become fuel for a Miami team entering the season with championship expectations.

Keep doubting Giannis.

Keep doubting Miami.

The Heat might prefer it that way. 🔥
