Wasn't always the biggest fan, but his game grew on me, mostly the confidence he plays with is rare to see. Like he knows he's the best on the floor. Good to see him staying consistent and improving. Gonna be a problem going forward.
Been a fan of him since he was on the clippers. I’m glad OKC gave him the keys. He is one of the best new school players. He has the full package, sky is the limit for him.
25ppg for OKC through almost 300 games over the past FIVE YEARS. His rise to greatness has been anything but sudden and if it surprises you then you're a casual NBA fan.
if u watch his rookie highlights u can rlly tell he was gonna be a good player prolly not this good but a good player he rlly worked his ass off the Canadian In him
My favorite quality of Shai his “Kobe-like” presence on a possession to possession basis. It seem on every possession he has the ball, he or his teammate will score. They don’t turn the ball over and it is a problem for OKCs opponents
Man what a good time to be a OKC fan. This man is the most consistent scorer in the whole league with the most 30 point games so far. All while getting his team involved and getting points within the flow of the offence. I believe he's gonna have a long prime because his game isn't as physically demanding and efficient
He is better than Ja Morant & Luka Doncic in my opinion. OKC is the Real Process, Not the Sixers. In comparison: All OKC’s young players are and have developed into Serviceable Starters, unlike in Philadelphia where they trade away all their Under Processed Players. Even with Embiid leading the league in scoring they can’t get past the 1st and 2nd rounds of the Offs. OKC will be a championship caliber team for the next Decade. I Thundered Up a few years ago from being a lifelong Sacramento Kings fan and supporter. SGA is the 23-24 MVP
I would like to see you do Steve Kerr. I know he was never a star or anything, but the man was literally unrecruited out of high school, it was just his high school coach knowing Lute Olsen and sending Lute a letter and tape when Lute got hired to coach at the U of A, that was a four win team the prior year, that got Kerr a D1 spot when he was already enrolled as a normal college student planning to play intramural basketball. Kerr was supposed to be a good locker room influence who rarely played, but he made the most of his opportunity. Getting drafted late in the 2nd round, at 50th, the sports writers said he would not likely ever play in the NBA, and then he really barely played at first and was almost out of the league when he asked the Bulls if he could try out for them. Kerr is by far the least athletically gifted human with an NBA ring as a player, and he has five. And now four more as a coach. And he was not supposed to be able to make it at anything above high school. A testament to his extreme competitiveness, his hard work, his intelligence, and just being a super likeable guy; he literally was drafted because the Suns had an image problem and he was a good way to help improve that. www.nba.com/bulls/history/steve-kerr-unlikely-journey
Honestly if giddy can just develop a solid three ball they can win with him it's a big backcourt plus you already got shai given you 30 and 5 so it's not like they need giddy to be a superstar or anything just dependable

This is one of the most accurate comments I’ve ever seen on RUclips
I can co-sign this statement.
He scores the most casual 30 a game I've ever seen in my entire life.
And unlike Joel he diesnt need 16-20 ft’s to get to 30
His game is the smoothest game I think I’ve ever seen in my life, nothing is forced n he’s just so crafty n moves with so much control
Other than kd
You ain't lyin. He's smooth wit it.
Yea, in a league that plays no defense.
One of the best and most exciting players in the league. Very efficient as well .
A beast with the Midrange.Should be starting All star game!
Been a fan of him since he was on the clippers. I’m glad OKC gave him the keys. He is one of the best new school players. He has the full package, sky is the limit for him.
If Cade can clean up his efficiency and handle, I think he can mimic what SGA is doing. I love the way SGA reads the court.
Agreed although I think shai is a tad bit quicker of the bounce but cade is gonna be ok the pistons just gotta put better pieces around him
Cade gotta stay healthy first
Idk anyone has said it , but also short stint he had Chris Paul for sure helped him out. Best examples on why you need veterans on your team.
Hey JC, Excellent video as always thanks for doing it and the shout out you my favorite content creator salute!
For each time I’ve been to an OKC game, watching him play in person just seems effortless. This kid is a beast 💯💪🏾
I’ve been know for a long time shai was going to be a special players since he was high school 🔥🔥
Lebron,thats you?
Can u do more rise videos please i absolutely can't get enough of these

I been telling people about Shai for years and glad to see he's one of the big superstars of the NBA
Who exactly did you tell for years ?

Defined agree, he’s my pick for top player n top Pg in the league 🏀
He’s not a pg at all he’s clearly a 2
He is better than Ja Morant & Luka Doncic in my opinion.

I love your content!
What about an stunted growth on Cedric Ceballos?
SGA has this Kobe/Ginobili type game
Lol. Doc has gone on record to say he was fully against that trade.....
8:07 You so petty bro 😂😂😂
Please do a Growth Spurt episode of Derrick White
He should get that MVP this year
Can you do a vid on Kevin Martin? One of the most consistent scorers of the 2000s
Great job! Do one on Wayman Tisdale.
Since Dante Exum has made a successful return to the league have you considered doing a Stunted Growth come back video?
People saying the Clippers are crazy for trading him is just using hindsight. Also it isn’t like the Clippers are bad
As a Thunder fan, can’t wait to see what comes of this rebuild. I’m trying to temper my expectations but all around me people are saying dynasty
You take me to church with these

I think he’s going to be better then PG when its all said and done
Shai is already better than PG...he's been better for the past 2 seasons.
Bruh on the my player career path 📈
Product of toronto Canada 🇨🇦, RJ IS ALREADY HERE LET'S GET SHAI 🤣🫡🫣🤫
Clippers blew it
Also Dante exum Stunted growth 🙏
Adding a little more muscle to his slim frame would certainly help
Hamilton Ontario Canada 🇨🇦 finest!!
He actually shoots it like Kobe. No disrespect to the Great Kobe but his game is smooth like Kobe
When you get a chance do Pittsburgh PG “Levance Fields”
Jeffery blue is a beast! 😅
31 pg is wild but 2 stls !?
Shai is what I thought jordan Poole was bout to be
Let’s go! Let me be one of those kids I’m number one first comment! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Better than Luka, Trae , spida, Tyrese , and fox ! Don’t argue with me
The ceiling is the roof!!
SGA MVP #2MVP
Ngl, blud came out of nowhere. Then again UK been sending in some real sleepers lately.
Cj McCollum growth spurt and tyreke Evans or Larry sanders stunted growth
Funny thing is that Kawhi wanted to play with Jimmy Butler First but Butler declined.
Idk how anyone is surprised
Jesus Christ is King ❤
Tbh I think he might be tied for first for me
I swear he got taller from hs/college to the league
Shai better watch out for bronny james he will be coming for his crown. Believe that! (LeBron Sr. Paid me to post this)
Will they have to trade giddy in order to have a chance at a championship?
Honestly if giddy can just develop a solid three ball they can win with him it's a big backcourt plus you already got shai given you 30 and 5 so it's not like they need giddy to be a superstar or anything just dependable
SGA > Doncic
Man Luka got help and done had help. The edge goes to Shai, just with defense alone
