RUclipsrs are what makes youtube great. Congrats to seeing Thinking Basketball getting the proper exposure.
🐐
This what else get their content from lol
I clicked on this video thinking it was a thinking basketball vid lol
He plays so patient & fundamental he does not waste dribbles at all
and yet luka better
@@togfanatic3781starting to sound like YB fans with that gay ass shit
“Luka better” “yb better” 💀😂
Ain't lying tbf but saying like that😭@@togfanatic3781
that is why he is so efficient, this styles of play will be really good for the playoffs
@@togfanatic3781Luka is a turnover machine and doesn’t play defense
THIS WHAT JJ IS TALKING ABOUT. This for real hoopers. Real fans of the game.
It’s also true that the majority of fans don’t wanna see this.
Casual fans wanna see dunks, 3’s and grown men shouting.
This why the WNBA don’t get views. This why even RUclips basketball players have started shouting and performing for the camera.
I’m here tho. Love to know why not just what. Love to know what’s effective and not necessarily cool.
Thinking basketball Top 3 breakdowns no debate.
luka better fyi
now that you mention it im kinda surprised jj hasnt had him on
JJ's Analysis and knowledge are nowhere near this
@@truthnotfeelingsthat's not why WNBA doesn't get views they just aren't fun to watch
Those crazy splits SGA does to decelerate look similar to the sliding technique used by tennis players like Djokovic to get out to a wide ball and rapidly recover to the centre of the court.
very true, i wonder if it will be more of an emphasis for iso scorers, kyrie also creates similar angles which make him extremely difficult to stay in front of when he decelerates. Yoga and mobility exercises are extremely important for almost every sport, not just lifting in the gym. It’s the reason why Wembanyama is an alien at his size, and helps him prevent injury.
OMG I was thinking the same thing when I seen that lmao. It's wild.
I play tennis and slide into my shots so seeing this comment made my day🤝
freaking died giggling when I saw him shoot the open three with a step-back haha
whats the timestamp?
@@jakealexander2476 6:13
😂
That's another level, gotta keep them guessing 😂
And he missed. Imagine he made that
ThinkingBasketball WOOT WOOT 🥳
His style is so unorthodox like Jokic, it’s just something players are not used to. They don’t know how to stop it.
It isn’t unorthodox at all. Jokic is unorthodox because he’s a center with point guard skills.
@@goeadIt’s an unorthodox pace. Same like Luka. If you can’t see that then go study more lol
@@808bboarder Lol let him cook. He’s a casual. Dude is unpredictable on the dribble. Half the time he looks like he doesn’t know where he’s going cause of his style and next thing you know he’s scoring. I played with a few dudes like this, smaller guys and I couldn’t understand why I couldn’t block their drives. It’s frustrating as h*ll.
@@NoName718.yeah it seem unorthodox since he move so smooth and calm and for sum reason they cant guard it. and everyone else try to copy, try to move smooth but they cant do it. they gotta move fast and strong to drive, but not shai. i think its his timing and feel for the game. and touch kinda like jokic
@@808bboarder You can make several players who play at a slower pace. You guys are just trying so hard to sound like you know more than what you really do.
Thinking basketball linking up with the nba? Wow this is cool
Been going on since late 2023 , so proud of the channel
He is elite at delayed tweens and pacing his combos, the fact that he has a counter for everything makes him elite in an iso.
I NEED MORE THINKING BASKETBALL!
He should be in more MVP talks
well he’s currently 2nd
he’s gonna win book it
He's second on the ladder what do you mean
Stat padding stats...playing in games winning by 33 Points to get his stats
@@onlyfacts3178 why are u on every SGA vid LMAOOO cry about it bro🤣🤣🤣
What I’m getting from this is how much of a luxury it is to have an elite stretch big like Chet. Him being able to pop out to the three point line and dragging out the shot blocker helps SGA a ton
No. You must not have watched Shai last year with no Chet.
yes
He literally did all of this last year without chet and was all nba first team
LOL no. I guess you missed Shai's entire season last year without Chet? Because he did this even without a big haha.
That’s why they went from a play in team to the number one seed in the west. Chet’s impact has been huge. That’s why I was pulling for him for ROTY because it’s not just empty stats. But Wemby is phenomenal too.
Love this guys channel. Glad he got a feature
Ben & JKyleMann been diagramming that off-rhythm drive off the backfoot for yrs now. Kinda reminds me of a taller Baron Davis w/it. Bruh got THIS much game & dnt attempt more than a few threes per night typically!
Thinking Basketball made it !
This is my favorite player for the past 2 years. I'm happy people are recognizing him. He's phenomenal.
Wonderfull breakdown I was very impressed ❤good work
I’d want to see a video of SGA reacting to this, see if he agrees with everything or if he has different thoughts.
Read an article from ringer that he constantly training his lower extremities with wierd exercises and strecthes to lessen the stress due to his playing style. He stretches his lower extremities regularly when he plays and this can prevent injury. Can you si his calves and hamstring it's like a rock
any specific exercises you can recall? main ones maybe?
@@SuperSaiyanTraining can't remember bro my bad, read the ringer article entitled way of shai. It is mentioned there
Glad you’re getting the recognition you deserve TB, been a fan for years.
The dude is just simply unstoppable. People complain about his free throws but he gets fouled A LOT! Honestly if you watched him night in and night out you’d think he should average about 15 ft a game. They can’t stop him and end up fouling him.
So happy to see TB here. He’s work definitely deserves this exposure ❤
Amazing video. I have always yhought of PnR as a way to give the ball handler several passing options... although SGA of course does this sometimes with e.g. Chet, SGA seems to use the PnR as a way to get into isolation! Offensive tactics have improved so much
Babe wake up another NBA and ThinkingBasketball collab dropped
Great video man.
Now this is good nba content
That open step-back on AD is so funny. Excited to see how the unique offence holds up in a series.
His 3 pt line jab step and mid dribble acceleration show he's a very deceptive player in an athletic, explosive, and flexible body. That's a deadly combination and makes for a unique superstar.
His ability to handle the ball with his left consistently and confidently also gives him a great advantage. No defender is expects him to drive past with his left. But he does
Honestly one of my favorite players in the league rn
Shoutout to Thinking Basketball!
Had to double, triple check what channel I was watching 😂 congrats on the collab Thinking Basketball!
I don't know if i'm just tiered but when Ben said "he loves this move (step back three) so much that he'll do it when he's wide open", i couldn't stop laughing and just kept replaying that part at 6:15
Yooo the gawd thinking basketball!! 🙌
Great vid
I’m a very new basketball watcher, these analysis are amazing to watch and learn from. ❤I will have to watch more Thinking Basketball videos.
good start to understand the game more
Need more of this content
I love when someone knows my game and still can get it.
Just because you know what’s coming doesn’t mean you can stop it.
Thinking Basketball was the perfect collaboration!
Make BASKETBALL great again
Woahhhh thinking Basketball with the nba🔥🔥🔥
Now this is what I want to see. Thank you
Imagine what 2k would look like if devs watched videos like these
Loving thinking basketball
This is the type of analysis I prefer
When you play the game at your own pace and slow , you read things better leading to better reactions to certain things on the court.
2:26 😂😂 got his ass
I’m happy ThinkingBasketball is with the NBA now too, it’s really cool
OMG! CONGRATS BEN TAYLOR!!! I'M HAPPY FOR YOU MY GUY!!!!
this is the kind of player that wins FMVPs. Multiple. Pure scoring taking advantage of all assets the team gives him. Winning basketball. I’m so sure the Thunder are getting to the WCF. It will be interesting to see who they match up against and overcome. They are so fun to watch
All depends on how Shai plays
More Thinking Basketball!!
He's my MVP this year. Statistically excellent (points leader, steals leader. he's top 10 in defensive win shares + #1 in offensive win shares), best player on a top 5 team, essentially unstoppable in the regular season.
Too bad everyone is saying Luka is the MVP but Shai has been productive both on offense and defence, without Shai this team is not in the playoffs
Same MVP
SGA ⚡
My basketball content GOAT Ben Taylor of thinking basketball 💯💯💯
I LOVE Thinking Basketball.
Amazing video from NBA.
Thinking basketball be doing this for years now. One of my favorite youtubers
Watching it is poetry. I don’t remember who it was last night against the Clippers, Shai shook the guy 10ft away from him with most sinister behind the back snatch I’ve seen in years.
When he took the shot he was literally more wide open than you would be on freethrow.
Norman Powell 😂
LETS GOOOO THINKING BASKETBALL
Shout out to the man Thinking Basketball!
I just enjoy watching this kid play
Coach daignault is so underrated
I’m really curious if you timed the difference between the step back and the shot (for mid range not 3s) between Luka and SGA, what the comparison would be. SGA creates so much space that I see him pause a lot before actually shooting. Maybe it’s balance or maybe it’s just reading the game, I’m not saying Luka is better at it but I actually predict that their shot prob goes up around the same time after they initiate the cross.
I just find these two players rly interesting because even tho they look so much different, their games are actually pretty similar. Luka is just more fluid and SGA is more jerky and each have benefits.
one of the most entertaining players in the league for sure
Hes the best iso hooper in the league. He could easily be averaging better stats than Luka if he wanted to play that heliocentric style but he knows if he wants to win, he needs his teammates to eat too
Oh hell yeah... Thinking BBall making it big time !!
Shai-Gorgeous. His game is so fluid
Clipper fan in shambles. I loved this draft pick.
SGA⚡️
Thinking Basketball has made it to the NBA.
If only Doc was interested in basketball at this level
His touch, body control and focus are out of this planet.
Thinking basketball at it again!!!!!
It reminds me little bit of Michael jordan in his first couple years, using crossovers and hesi's into exploding past defenders, especially when going left
his mid range jumper sure does. especially that sweet fade away he does off of his spins and cross overs
Nah mj doesn’t have this type of handle mechanics. He’s just super gifted athletically that he can get away with anything involving quickness.
Shai never disappoints
He never wows either. Gets whistles like he been a superstar. He hasn't had any nba magical games. Espn is high on him bc he is black. Levels below Doncic. Facts are facts. Research lukas Def statistics this year
Yea.. cuz hes black lol. You sound ridiculous
@@jasoncruzoyou're being WEIRD
@@jasoncruzobro is just hating on someone having a spectacular season
@@jasoncruzothat’s not it at all dawg, you embarrassing yourself🤦♂️ literally look at the thunders record or watch him play a full game because he is destroying defenses consistently and it’s propelling his team to the top of the league
I LOVE THINKING BASKETBALL, IVE BEEN EXPOSED TO A NEW DEPTH TO THE GAME AND IVE BEEN ABLE TO APPRECIATE SO MUCH MORE
Dis who I wanted with Bron for his last seasons mane damn
if we can get clips thunder matchup in playoffs, ooooowee Shai going to ball
this video a gem
His offhand is the opposite of most. Hooking up rather than hammering down.
I like players like SGA, Luka, Brunson, and Jokic because they all take their time and place at their own pace.
Shai got some guts
Most fools don't recognize greatness, just hate Ness!
This okc so good😮
Why okc so good my bad😂
Oh, was wondering why I hadn't seen this vid the moment it came out, cuz it's the NBA channel. I've always been critical of how you measure efficiency, but that's only because you're otherwise the best analytics RUclipsr in the game, congrats.
Thinking basketball is the GOAT of RUclips basketball content
Thinking basketball=#1 basketball channel
I think what helps him be so “shifty” is how he almost always keeps his back straight when he drives instead of fully lowering his shoulder. His legs are doing the work while his upper body seems motionless
Beautiful hoops
A thinking basketball video on the nba channel??
Pretty dope
Would love to see Shai's eyes while he attacks the basket. He probably manipulates defenders like crazy!!
MVP
More content like this!
SGA is evidence of calipari developing guys into killers. A great prospect but at the bottom of the depth chart at the start of his freshman year. Iron sharpened iron until he was the best plays on the team and one of the best in the country and he’s continuing to grow at the same rapid pace he did his freshman year
so basically what this video is aying is the reason sga is great in iso is because he has floor spacers and the floor is properly spaced out for him to iso. the worst 3 point shooter for okc is giddey so i guess the ability to have floor spacers and guys who spread the floor helps sga to attack a driving line. also the ability for them to set screens for shooters and chet openeing the lane for sga by setting a screen.
He is unguardable and must be the MVP this season. He is the main reason why his team is on Top
Opposing teams just got free analysis on SGA 😂
They watching this but still cant stop him sga nice😊
I'm not sure how I feel about getting you on the main NBA channel my friend. These normie fans dont understand the depth of analysis and those of us that do are already subbed to you. But I'm happy for you getting the exposure non the less
FACTS: Most average NBA fans thought that SGA is just 2 or 3 years in NBA but hes already on his 6th season
Chet is perfect for SGA
