I’ve been watching the nba for about 10 years and this is the first time I’ve seen sga play I think because the popularity of the thunder ain’t there right now but hopefully it will get more popular
Up and under layups Extra step mid range jumpers CRAZY STEP BACK 😮😮 fluent spinning away from defenders Excellent court vision Can’t take nothing away from him he might just be top 5 today
Mark Price used to be very good in like 2-3 years, but he ain’t in the hall of fame. Wait until maybe another year of good performance carry team into winning their ring. Then we can talk about HOF
Too early to say for a hall of famer. But I agree he's a superstar now but he ain't reached that MEGA superstar status yet he's missing something. I believe he can be a must see in the future.
Soon as you turn your hips the same direction as his he spinnin off your ass or snatchin you back to hell. He's got such a perfect feel for it he does it so intuitively almost every possesion.
He's so efficient. I feel like he gives exactly what is needed, doesn't seem like he jumps way in the air if he doesn't have to, takes extra time after a stepback, before a jumpshot. He takes just a fraction of extra time no one knew was there.
Yeah that’s what I’m noticing to. Cause at first it’s kinda confusing how he’s so good. He doesn’t seem incredibly athletic. He doesn’t seem to have an incredibly good jump shot. He doesn’t even seem like he’s got top tier handles. His finishing does jump out to me as being particularly good tho. Anyway I feel like he’s just good enough at everything combined with his decision making and he just gets whatever he wants all the time.
@@reckon7457 If you talk about Luka then I have to tell you he ain't aggressive at all. He outsmarts his opponent and is kinda smooth (or slow but effective).
@@PatoNani18 You probably not watching his games and just looks at the highlights. Luka is very physical uses his body against smaller guys if anything Shai is the smooth guy not forcing any contact at all. Watch his playoff games against the Clippers when most of his teammates are injured and he doesn't have anyone to rely on he took the game by himself. When the clippers tried every player against him he literally went straight to the basket and back anyone down including Kawhii. Took the series to 7 games against prime Kawhii and PG by himself.
He is so clearly the MVP this season. There is no question. I just hope the voters look at it case by case because if you do, in my opinion the deserving winner of the 2023-24 MVP is clearly SGA.
SGA doesnt have anything fancy. He just knows how to read the defense and do counter moves with perfect timing. That is what separates a lot of NBA player from D1 overseas pros that also have great handles. Its the ability to read the defense real-time and counter with a move to score. Thats what made Allen Iverson so special.
What I see are incredible fundamentals. It’s the little things. Like Duncan, wasn’t flashy but these guys are extremely efficient. Super star, I see OKC starting a dynasty with all them picks too.
Boy oh boy where do I even begin.... Shai honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you drive into the paint and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your lightning quick hands when you steal the ball. Your silky smooth touch around the rim, and that gorgeous jumpshot. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you retire. You never gave up hope in your team even when they were tanking. Now the dawgs🐕 are the #1 seed. You are even amazing off the court, you're a great husband and soon to be father, sometimes I even call you dad. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day retire. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a smile on your face❤.
Hell to the no! Nothing like Kobe, even his midrange isn’t like Kobe! He is too stiff with his moves! Not graceful! If you think soo like many of these comments in reading! You guys are blind asf! Lol
I know! He is just effective and understands the opponent’s! Smooth, fancy, pure art as some say! You guys are delusional and act like you never seen someone that works on his game. He probably puts the work, but he isn’t gracefully, not early as somewhat smooth like PG. I feel the same way about the claw! Very stiff, but he is effective.
to me SGA looks like a bit slower but taller Iverson. specially the low dribble drive, crossovers, jumpshot, pullbacks, fade away to the left etc exactly Iverson moves tbh
2:35 I feel like that was a travel. It’s hard to tell because I’m not sure if the ball was out of his hand yet but doesn’t it seem like he hit the ground before he released the layup? (I’m aware this type of thing is literally never called btw)
Shai, Steph and Luka are best nba PG. Steph is best sniper, Shai is best defender and athletic PG and Luka is the smartest, one-man-army(a PG version of Jokic)and best offence player of the world! Let them all shine and get the best PO games this year! Pray to God that the real MVP wins, not because of the referees!...🎉😇😅
@@stormspinner9000Why do you have to make that distinction? Luka may be better at some things but he's not as athletic as SGA, it's a pretty even matchup
@@louiehunter6490 athleticism doesn't determine how great a player is on its own, zion basically beats everyone there but isn't even a top 5 player. You can't use that on its own. It's just a way to predict how good a player will be
Well, these next-gen super star players just happen to be in small markets and on forgotten about teams - which are good for those teams. Also, sports tried to get you used to men with hyphenated names for rainbow marriage brainwashing.
I get what you mean but I don’t think it makes his game any less beautiful. It’s a different style; shifty guard relying on his change of speed, driving angles, crafty finishes and amazing footwork. His post work and midrange game has become so polished, you can see the Kobe influence in his game.
I don’t think you realize how good he is at creating his own shots, and his finesse from the midrange to the painted area. I’ve seen him convert so many shots when there’s almost nothing there to work with because he has so many counters to evade defenses.
Jokic is literally one of the most boring 40 points you’ll ever watch. Luka I’m with u. But you saying luka and jokic is crazy. You gotta be trolling or racist or stupid
Most Valuable on OKC...barely. Does his role, like a well trained dog. The amount that whistle blows...yuck. He doesn't even pop up on an 'Eye Test' as you are simply watching a well trained dog, which can have its wow factor at times but at the end of the day we like watching soul. Payton Pritchard has more soul...
Oh shut up. The facts are he doesn't get an extreme amount of free throws. He drives more than anyone in the league and he's not even leading in free throws. Stop with this stupid BS. he just scored 33 with 4 free throws 2 being from a technical foul. You don't know anything about shai or OKC.
He’s just so good at the simple things, you look at the box score and you’re like damn he scored all those points?
I’ve been watching the nba for about 10 years and this is the first time I’ve seen sga play I think because the popularity of the thunder ain’t there right now but hopefully it will get more popular
His field shot accuracy is insane. It might not be a spectacle for your NBA viewers, but for me he is a legendary basketball player already.
Amazing handles, Dwade first step, Kobe skills, MJ jump shot; pretty damn amazing!
Up and under layups
Extra step mid range jumpers
CRAZY STEP BACK 😮😮
fluent spinning away from defenders
Excellent court vision
Can’t take nothing away from him he might just be top 5 today
He is top 5 today
“Might” fooI he’s been 2nd in MVP race all season
Hes actually like number 2 or 3 in the league tbh
Shai right now is star ⭐️ i think he will be hall of famer 🏀🔥

His combination of smooth and aggressive style of play is really unique
Not really someone in the league does that aswell but a heck lot better of playmaking. That smooth aggressive style.

Yall needs learn ball it ain't Shai either Luka or Jokic again
Canadian Kobe Bryant
Really doesn’t seem like someone who would average 30+ points a game lol just seems like a sorta fundamental player with a nasty snatchback and spin
SGA and PG my two favs to watch. I also feel have similar styles.
Literally wouldn’t take a single hooper on the planet over my dawg shai
Agreed 🤝

how do you make such great thumbnails

He has been doing this. Things change when your team has a good record. A complete and intelligent ball player: Shai Smoove
50 games with 30 points!!If that ain't MVP worthy than my 40 something years of watching basketball didn't teach me shit!
This is how Kobe would attack in the modern game. More of a 6’6 point guard
This guy is incredible! He's KOBE!!! My guy SGA!!!! let's goo
and he knows how to dress, it goes to show he really is consistent in everything he does
Doesn't get said much but his scoring game reminds me of Kobe
Hell to the no! Nothing like Kobe, even his midrange isn’t like Kobe! He is too stiff with his moves! Not graceful! If you think soo like many of these comments in reading! You guys are blind asf! Lol
2:30 Shai cooking his future teammate.
Luka Doncic is the Mavericks Dirk 2.0
Anthony Edwards in the Wolves Garnett 2.0
And now Shai is the Thunders Durant 2.0
nothing fancy about his game, but he is effective, he is just so quick and very good using angles
Tf u mean? Are u stupid or something?

Thanks for blessing us GD
Thank you for this video it changed my life and made me realize is the goat 😍😍😍
That push off is one of the best for sure😂😂😂 It’s apart of the game and he uses it well. Great separation from defender. I like him.
Best Player in the LEAGUE
2nd smoothest game in the league
Nah the smoothest
It's his body type LONG ARMS LEGS short torso big hands.
GOOD LUCK
Reminds me of Penny

MVP!
SGA FOR MVP
wish that Ant Edwards media attention was on him. or at least they can be compared and that rivalry be pumped up!!!
He is the real MVP
I prefer ANT 🐜 but SGA is a very good player and he deserves MVP

smooth and aggressive,slowfast-fastslow its SGA.!!!
No where near electrifying as Edward’s 🤷🏽

Hes getting that MVP bro i know for a fact
Hes getting MVP just watch bro
He'll be over westbrick
Shai is just as good if not better than Luka and it's funny how Luka stans think there's such a wide gap between them..... It really isn't
100% agree lmao the Luka stans are hating HEAVY this year on SGA and OKC. But it’s okay they can stay mad being 5th in the West and SGA winning MVP 😂
There isn't much of a gap between them but Luka is still better
Shai, Steph and Luka are best nba PG.
