      It’s great but it’s still not on the level of Kyrie, KD or PG yet. They demand defense out to 25 some feet and really know how to utilize those long strides on the initial burst to put the leg in front of defenders for immediate leverage.

    If you think SGA is hated let me introduce you to Joel Embiid. Meanwhile Jalen Brunson get’s praised when unlike SGA and Embiid who are just too good to guard, Brunson be twerking backwards into defenders and getting the call when technically the NBA just addressed this a couple years ago saying you can not jump backwards into a foul.

    • @Eliath1984
      @Eliath1984 4 месяца назад +1

      I'd say he's like a new and improved Harden because Harden will just start hoisting up everything. Shai looks more to get his teammates rolling.. Obviously I won't say Harden is bad at what he does but especially in the rockets years it looked like just Harden goin out there and just tryin to win the game all by himself. Shai plays solid D and picks his spots which makes it harder to gameplan for it because he may drive on you.. or he may draw you in and then dump it off..

    Showing just good clips of shai and not showing the disgusting foul baits. We all know he is really skilled, but those head snaps, putting elbows players chest, holding defenders arms, and refs calling it foul is just crazy, breathing the same air is a foul. He has a lot of flopping when getting locked up, 9-10 FTA per game and most of the fouls is just plain flop which makes watching him unenjoyable to watch. Most of these comments who watches him just watched the highlights.
    If you watch whole game youl understand how unbearable watching defenders get hitted and dragged by his elbow and refs call it a foul.
