ok, here's something that's not obscure... Giannis is having a better statistical season than LeBron, and his team is in the playoffs despite his team being damn near terrible [and they haven't had their 2nd-best player play a minute this season].
The Thunder aren't a bottom-of-the-barrel team without RW, the Bucks are without Giannis. Adams and Oladipo are 1st division starters on just about any team, and Roberson is elite defensively and would carve out minutes on any team. Giannis has Jabari and hasn't had a minute of Middleton's help this year.
