His movement is so damn smooth, its like hes moving slow motion and going fast at the same time
Yeah pg is smooth
I think hes moving more slow motion, lol
Don't say that then they will compare him to Paul pierce
@@danielharper5885 he lost his burst with the injury. He rarely blows past guys anymore, but he improved on his game overall so I'm good with it
Bro, are you high on weed rn?
Lies. The real MVP is the heart and soul of the Thunder. Plays hard night in and night out
Jerami Grant
Steven Adams*
@@ethd2286 you right
I really like him
Grant is very underrated.
Dummy that's Adams
People saying no, he’s saying he has a case for MVP, which he does, not that he is the MVP
C'mon now. Nobody can read nowadays. Lmao
Too much reading for people 😑
Well why put him in the discussion if he wont win it? Ffs just put the guys in the discussion who can actually win it. Apparently everyone is in the discussion nowadays, which makes it less of an achievement.
Ppl are dumb be nice they can't help it
@@Max-me9ol ur a fucking idiot they vote the top 10 options anyone has a chance to win it it's not even half the season and he is able to win it if okc finishes 1st in the west
PG was on pace to be an MVP candidate by now before injuries took that away. This isn’t a breakout, it’s a full recovery.
Seriously, if I fell into a coma five years ago and woke up just now, this is exactly what I’d expect to see out of him. It’s great to see someone who seemed to have his ceiling lowered before he got a chance to prove himself only to fight back and reach his potential. In retrospect, both OKC and Indiana won that trade. In order to make 2nd Team All-NBA this year he’ll have to outperform either Kawhi or Giannis, but he seems up for the task. His case gets a huge boost when you consider that his stats are lower across the board from lower usage due to playing alongside Russ.
Replying to yourself?
JeffTheCow It breaks up a potential wall of text and separates my main point from elaboration on said point.
damn i remember that PG.... he's about to storm the league for real...that dude is no joke when he's still wearing number 24...too damn athletic similar to prime T-Mac ,Kobe etc....damn what could've been I really think he can be the best jn the league that time......
@@greghmn That's what I've been saying. PG's career was about to take off before the injury. He's this good on both ends AFTER the injury. Without it he would/could have been better than Kawhi and up there behind KD.
I've been watching a lot of thunder games recently and what separates him is his defense, he plays his heart out on that side and it's definitely noticeable
JustinTheGoat unlike harden but harden is on some Kobe shit right now no lie
Teez Harris Bruh just watched like the last 5 mins of the game, he's unbelievable😂
@@teezharris3301 I don't agree how the mvp is always offensive minded.
in my opinion
1. giannis
2. PG
3 Kawhi
all three are elite on the offensive and elite on the defensive end, while harden, and curry, LeBron and even my main man jokic are all lacking on the defense even tho their offense is some kf the best in the league (jokic defense doesn't translate to stats well so he's kinda separate)
I think hes goin for a DPOY, and I must assume hes earning it
@@teezharris3301 Yeah I really don't like Harden because of his flops and travels but he is going fucking nuclear. 40 ppg in the last 10 games (I think?) That's insane
It's worth noting that Russell Westbrook has had his lowest usage rate (29.9%) since the 2010-2011 Season and his FG attempts are at their lowest since 13-14, pretty clear Russ is taking a back seat and helping PG flourish offensively this season. Plus PG just flat out got better this season.
Good. That's how it should be. Russ has to defer if they want to win anything.
And this is how russ should play if he plans on getting dubs, but if he wants to be the one man army mvp stat padding player he should just give up before the playoffs even start
Coach, you have a case for the real MVP
Haha, thanks!!
Ppl saying no aren’t watching the games
@Lanky Boi It's true
He's not
Or they just dont know basketball, most players as good as he is dont play good on ball D especially on other star players... look at LeBron he's the best player on his team but never guard the elite scores he get rest on Defense playin passing lanes only
Every sense pg13 went ham in the playoffs verse lebron, he has been my favorite player. So happy to see him playing so well.
Ever Since*
Riley Feagle 😂😂 haha ya you’re right. Oh well, better luck next time 🤷♂️
27/8/4 3rd in the west && everyone in the comments are saying no? what?
EDIT: I didnt even bring up his elite defense on the #1 defense in the league.
People don't watch the defense not even the nba themselves. His two way ability should put him in the conversation automatically
LOL what? First round exit too... that's fucking tuff
He definitely has a case for mvp, y’all haters
👍👍🏀🏀💪💪
Top 5 MVP candidates-
Giannis
Kawhi
PG
James Harden
Jokic
Honourable Mention-
Lebron
Amer Salha respect
OMG the first legit MVP ranking list I've seen
How is PG ahead of harden and jokic?
@@kingphil4073 because harden is a flop king 12 of his 40 points are from free throws and joker is underrated
Joker gets shat on
Fresno California loves Paul George, he’s the man :).
icedoutelite I just moved away from Fresno. great pickup games in that city.
Amazing how he is still amazing after his gruesome injury
He's been my fantasy league hero. Couldn't believe how many people slept on him in my draft
Theyd be even better if Russ stayed around 15-16 attempts per game. Its clear PG as the vocal point is going to give them the best chance of winning.
Thank you.
Thats exactly what I was telling some of my friends.That if russ would keep his attempts to 15, unless he's cooking the thunder would be on another level.
I liked your comment, but I believe it is a focal point
Instagramchampange it’s obviously working they’re second in the West stop nitpicking they won’t go 82-0. Don’t forget they were 0-2 to start the season without Westbrook and just PG. so pg ain’t perfect.
Russ's overall attempts don't have to change. His threes need to come down. Even when an aggressive scorer is missing, that shit wears opposing defenders out
FINALLY SOMEBODY NOTICED MY FAVOURITE PLAYER
i feel like NBA Coaches watch these videos.
Well we know Kerr does at least
👁🏀👁
Ayye 3rd eye! I like it coach nick! I think coach knows nba coaches watch these
Yeah I hate to say it but NBA coaches/teams watch so much film a 5 minute highlight compilation means nothing to them. Not that I don't love these videos and the information but NBA coaches are way past this.
No
PG has the same passion on defense as westbrook does on offense
But better decision making lol
Nobody has more passion than an angry Westbrook.
......look at westbrooks steal number
@@vincentloisebeltran204 decision making on defense? Yea I know u hoping on nuts sounding stupid lls
Westbrook is good at D this year
Steven Adams > Rest of the Thunder
pg and Adams and noel and Dennis > rest of the thunder
pewdiepie is my dad pyro is gay no , Steven Adams > The Rest of The NBA
Can you do a video on what’s wrong with the wizards?
@@delontewest6353 hey now at least he didnt say the cavs
Jasper Bernstein chemistry
ernie grunfield, top 5 longest tenured GM, cannot scout well enough and the rest of the NBA got better over time... the end
Great job as usual. Now I'm impatiently waiting for your Rockets-Warriors game breakdown coach!
Don’t ever stop making videos
Your videos are awesome coach
It was like 12 where I live when this video dropped. It's 1 o'clock now. My BBallBreakdowm commitment knows no boundaries
Been watching since 2015 this channel made me realize the love I have for hoops
Great video!
Any plans to touch on the HOU/GSW game from last night? That one was simply insane!
I know its "just numbers" but George is currently third in espn's real plus minus list just behind James harden and Anthony Davis. George is in the top 10 for both offense and defence. These numbers support he should be in the MVP discussion.
Agreed, one of best two way players in the game period. Prettiest shot form and smooth flow of the game is so amazing to watch.
My favorite coach back with another great breakdown
🏀
🙏
I'm a thunder fan and all but the edit on this video is amazing
I love this channel, with videos to support the theory.
🏀
🙏
good video coach!
He is the best player on the thunders without a doubt
Because of injuries he lacks lateral quickness. He’s flourishing due to the fact that he can go 1 on 1 with his man and is no longer seeing double teams at all.
3:56 lmao that kid getting whooped or somethin? Behind Russ in the red shirt lol
lol that kid turned around like bro chill
westbrook strumming the ol guitar in front of Stephenson was classic
He should be the default #1 option at all times, even playing alongside Russell. Way more offensively versatile.
yo, im waiting for that harden video, this man has been dropping some god damn 2k numbers
Video on warriors and rockets from 1/3/19?
Who would have thought:
-PG might win the MVP
-Bucks having a better record than GSW
-Harden averaging more points than Prime Kobe
-Brooklyn making the playoffs
-Lakers might barely make the playoffs
Lesson of the day: If someone makes a statement that looks dumb at first, DO NOT MAKE FUN OF THEM
What song is that in the back ground?
Paul george is better than westbrook.
Paul george is better, thank* westbrook.
Same team so it doesn't matter who better as long they getting dubs
Well he obvs is this season, hence the MVP shout
Causals with their knee jerk overactions😂
@@VASTSports Id take PG over Westbrook any day of the week.
When the beat drops you, know you're in for some facts from the coach!
Funny thing for him, he broke his leg during a scrimmage practice for Team USA in 2014. I can't believe he'd jump straight back to his prime in only a matter of months.
PG13 IS DA TRUTH 😤😤😤
yup, i have him over russ on the list (somewhere 6-10th)
Love PG man. What a player
Thunder up!!! And he’s helping my fantasy team too as well as my actual team
Thank u
He has more than a thing. He is elective to be de DPOY also. DPOY is not for just Centers, because is some poor analysis: "Is their job to do so".
Paul George is lethal. Deadly from outside, unpredictable from mid-range, has an exploside drive and also attacks the rim as a PF.
PG is carrying OKC on his shoulders and is beeing the FP over Russel Westbrook if he is out of the discussion, nevermind, I really don't know anything about basketball.
I live in Indiana in such the Pacers have a good for what I know although Paul George has a better fit with the Thunder
This season Paul George has taken the reigns and become one of the Top 10 best players in basketball. He's surpassed Russ now
He’s been playing even better lately #MVPG
You’re damn right! 👍🏀💪
I've been waiting on Paul George to put together all his talents for one complete season of consistent dominance. He's always had the tools, but his streakiness always limited him in my eyes. Too often he would have one or two huge months and then go silent. Finally proving everyone wrong. Let's see if he can keep it up throughout the year.
He has also improved his stats since then
Love to see PG succeed
Only a month later its already time to make PART 2 to this video.
And a week after your comment is definitely a time to make PART 2.
MVP is often won in last 25 games of the season whin memories on voting day that are still fresh. This one will go to the wire with Harden and Giannis.
1:46 Who does this remind you of, in terms of playing style (Hint: the initials are MJ)?
Coach he is one of the most valuable player in his team so he i cnsider him MVP
STEVEN ADAM ..is a legend..
Should done why PG had a case for DPOY, playing perimeter defense on the other teams best player most nights, in contrast to Rudy Gobert standing in the paint and putting his hands up.
Glad PG is getting some recognition. IMO he's a top 10 player in this league. He plays both end at an extremely high level.
Great video, pg13 is a much better player and teammate for Russell rather than the snake, I've been saying pg13 is better than kd and everyone always gives me crap for it, not anymore
PG playing like a true superstar right now
I would choose either PG, Harden or Giannis as the Mvp this season. those 3 have been balling their minds of this year
Man I love your videos coach. !! But Joe Ingles is still my favorite
Paul George is so good and yet he isnt even top 3 at his position. thats crazy. it just shows how stacked the sf position is at the top.
Has anyone else noticed all the similarities between PGs and Jokic's careers. Both are considered as inconsistent (and always break out in the last 25 games), both don't get calls. And if Denver keeps up, both have lead a nice low-market team to homecourt advantage at a young age without a superstar. But since their stats weren't impressive, they were called overrated at times.
1. James Harden
2. Giannis Antetokounmpo
3. Paul George
(die hard pg fran)
Im sorry man but giannis is playing insanely good
As much as i like PG, u should do a video about why russ is struggling right now?
Hey coach I was wondering if it’s possible to download this theme song that you use for most of your breakdowns... I think that this theme song you use really makes the video interesting, and it makes it look more like a discovery or mystery as I watch your breakdowns, however for some videos that I make, I would love to incorporate this theme with it if it’s possible to maybe download... You IN😉
The song is Fighting For Freedom - Anno Domini Beats
Thanks. Really appreciate it
And now Harden is back in the mix. This year is shaping up to have a fun MVP race.
If they get champ this year.....I will be so happy for Westbrook and George
2013 PG is back!
absolute beast
Big facts MVPG
finally some respect for PG13 ... about time someone notice
Wow it sounds like star players can flourish playing next to Westbrook....you don’t say huh.
The leg injury took away his athleticism and explosiveness, so he focused more on his shot. Overall a better player than before he got injured. He just missed out on what he could have potentially been. PG was on the come up in Indiana.....
Paul George is the best 2 way player in basketball..
Glad he's finally getting his due..
Idk that either belongs to lebron or kawhi.
lassseerrr yah kawhi, definitely not lebron
@ LeBron? You're either crazy, funny, or both
Kawhi buddy
Lebron?
I mean his usage isn't low... its right around AD and lillard... not sure why that makes it surprising that hes putting up great numbers
My favorite player. He has everything.
GOOD ASK
Alderigde is the midrange king, Paul is the prince
1:14 - “You won’t see hardly any three pointers either...”
2:55 - “PG is taking a career high 8 three pointers!”
John Johnson 1:14 was about PnR situations 😴...
Why is no one talking about Jocic for mvp? Being the best player on the #1 team in the tougher conference. My mvp vote goes to Giannis but Jocic has the 2nd best case
I am tripping or at 2:52 the ball disappears for a second at the rim???
I wish the Thunder go all in in trying to get Bradley Beal, that team would be set! Give some offer that the Rockets were throwing around with 4 draft picks
Nice vid supporting PG but saying the 3 isn't an intricate part of his game is false. Only players to make more 3s than him this season are Curry and Harden.
🔥🔥💯
This is the George I like to see.
Most people thought the rockets are done. James Harden is carrying like a true MVP right now without Chris Paul.
“You won’t see hardly any 3 pointers either”
“He’s attempting 8.8 threes per game”
Which one is it?!?!
Thunder might go all the way. They have one of the best defenses in the league with Westbrook, PG, Adams, Grant, Noel. And pretty good offense: PG superstar scorer, Westbrook star scorer, admas food scorer, grant, schroder. Greta team man
"he takes to much dribble to get pass he's defender, and barely get pass them" I was paraphrasing there. But c'mon Coach, it's not easy to cross people period, and get to the basket. We see Kyrie Irving and all the best ball handlers out there makes it looks easy, but it's not. Coach with all due respect I Know you know that, but the way you said that was like he just suppose to be crossing people up because he's an all star it's not easy to cross someone up, it takes a lot of natural whatever you wanna use. You can only learn so much, as far a ball handler go. The rest is up to your creativity and that other stuff Kyrie and all the other best ball handlers has.
The Thunder have been lacking a shooting guard and power forward for God knows how long, they wont get anywhere with empty roster slots
This was a great fucking video bul.
MIP?
Anyone catch the lighter at 0:02?
What about spicy p? He's my pick
