I still remember when the Clippers traded him to OKC for Paul George. I said at the time the Clippers made a mistake for trading him because I felt Kawhi and Shai would have won a championship for the Clippers by now.
In my opinion it’s not insane to say he’s currently playing better than Luka because you are actually also downplaying defense if SGA and luka are near each other in offensive rating and there is a significant drop off on the part of Luka defensively sounds like SGA is the better player to me
@@Yommzo Curry and Luka get targeted on defense. They are both free buckets when a good player iso's on them. Hell, Westbrook iso'd on Luka 4 plays in a row last week and scored all 4 times. Teams wouldnt dream of going at SGA like that.

@@opiniononion What does that have to do w/WINNING 🤔, & that's what he needs to start doing!! Putting a scare into some of those championship contenders will definitely get the media's attention...... IMO 🤔!!
SGA needs a playoff run. I think we’re gonna get a couple rounds from him this year to see if he can start building on his already perennial all star status in the league.
I don’t think he’s being ignored, majority of people know who Shai is and appreciate his game. It’s getting kinda difficult for people to get into the spot light when u have a lot of rising stars blossoming infront of our eyes.
This is why this league is failing. Trying to force superstars instead of featuring young talented players. Who cares if he’s Canadian he’s bussin ass on the court!
SGA is really really good. This dude is a top 10 point guard in the NBA right now and he literally has the Oklahoma City Thunder as the #2 seed in the Western Conference right now. It's just unfortunate that he's on a small market team like the Thunder and that's why he doesn't get talked about. I hate this NBA because he never wanna give like Shai, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards, and hell as a Kings fan, I'm putting De'Aaron Fox in that list because those guys is on a small marketing team. I promise you if those guys were on bug market teams like the Lakers or the Clippers or the Warriors, they would be getting their respect easily and I hate that. These guys needs more respect
@abiolaibiyemi1355 Thanks for the reminder bro. I forgot about Haliburton. That boy is HIM!!!. As a Sacramento Kings fan, when they traded him to Indiana, I was like, Sacramento probably made a mistake of trading him but we traded him for Domantas Sabonis since we desperately needed a big man. But it worked out for both teams so I'll say it's a win-win for both franchises
SGA isn’t boastful, flashy with jewelry, or running amuck against the law so he’s not considered a “real dawg” by low IQ fans. Oklahoma isn’t nobody, and we LOVE Shai. Who cares what the others think? Thunder Up!
He’s considered one of the flashiest, best dressers in the NBA, so that’s not completely true. But on the court, he isn’t a loud mouth, braggadocio type. Just like with boxing, you need boxers who can sell the fight. The guys who have the huge purses and monster PPVs sell it. In the NBA, quiet guys must win a ring(s) like Duncan, Kawhi or Jokic to get their shine. SGA is in a small market too. Russ was such an exciting high energy player with intense personality, he got attention in OKC. It was pretty much a no man’s land once him and KG left. Shai is going to have to do what all the greats have done, go apeshyt in the playoffs to get his respect. Harden has been the only glitch to that, because his regular season numbers in Houston were absolutely insane. Aside from Lebron. Harden and D’Antoni were the progenitor of the non-PG running the offense with high usage rate and heavy scoring density. These guys like Luka and Shai wouldn’t be allowed to play how they do now, before Lebron then Harden changed how non-PGs ran offenses and still were high density scorers. Shai is designated a PG, but he a SG running OKC’s offense. Just like Harden was in Houston.
The Kings should have kept both Fox and Haliburton. Staggered their minutes as much as possible and have them both finish the game in the 4th. Traded 3 future unprotected 1st and Buddy Heild for Sabonis instead. Pacers would have taken that deal because 3 unprotected 1st from one of the worst teams in the league at time is valuable.
Shai gailiueus juts 2 good He one of the best shooters J knew he was underatted when he scored 44 on Portland all drives nk jumpers bro he has it all no weakness all strengths
I dont know how mvp voting is worked but sga for me is clearly ahead If we talk impact on games sga is easy ahead if we talk scoring he is top 5 if we talk defense he is for hisbposition he is easily top 3 if we talk about how unstoppable a player he is he is again top 3 But again for me player influence on a game he is easily number 1 Not saying okc isnt a great team all round but he can and has single Handley change the majority of games for his team
what reason really is there to care? what has he won or done yet in the nba? the same arguments you use against edwards and halliburton can be made against sga as well
@@razzo086That’s his point. They all are missing the same accolades, so the same arguments can be made sag hasn’t done anything yet, just like they haven’t
Last year the story was how "clutch" DeAron Fox was... So why can't we talk about Hali without "disrespecting" anyone?? I mean, I'm watching Hali RIGHT NOW in the first IST Final... Why would I (currently) care SGA exists?!?!? Sorry what? No!! CURRENT EVENTS =/= "recency bias". It's called PROMOTING A MARQUEE GAME!!!! TOO MANY looking for "disrespect" where non exists. Were OKC in this Final instead of LAL, we WOULD be discussing "best PG". Aa they'd be facing each other in a marquee game with a prize on the line!!
He wasn’t overhyped, he was snubbed outta the 21-22 allstar game and turned it up the next season. Showed non fans who he is and obviously that got people talking about him. He’s legit, 3rd best pg in the league
I really suspect that marketability and even looks play a big role. I mean Hali has been unreal, but his hype relative to guys like SGA and Fox is also kind of absurd. Even back when the Kings traded him he was hyped beyond his actual ability
Do you think Hali would be over him if it weren’t for the IST performance? I feel like that’s pushing a lot since it’s seemed like a quasi playoff game. Shai is for sure better but Hali has that it factor rn he’s not better, but he’s mire fun to watch
I stopped liking him when after the worst allstar game ever played. He said give them more money and that will make them play harder. What about playing harder 4 the people that help pay ur salary. I felt soooo sorry 4 the fans in the stans. This nba is trash!!!
ANT has very little of any experience of NBA Playoffs? He already Experienced twice in NBA playoffs. last year he went against the eventual champion averaging almost 32ppg. and as per MPJ. his team was the toughest they faced.
I don't hate Shai but as a casual fan his game is not exciting to me so idgaf about him. He's very good but it's like his game is nothing we haven't seen before and plus with having an good roster does kinda belittle his impact on the team because they have names like Chet, the 2 Williams, Wallace, to some extent giddey that prevents the narrative of him being that guy who can carry or lead a team. Plus I do get annoyed of fans who try to overhyped Shai. I don't think he's an actual point guard, he's a combo guard but leans more of being a shooting guard imo so for me I just sometimes get annoyed of fans hyping Shai too much like "IS SHAI THE BEST PG IN THE LEAGUE?!" No..... you still have Steph and Luka..... and now even Haliburton.
SGA disappears in the big moments. Absolutely invisible for Canada in the semis at the World Cup. Had something like 4 points, so let's pump the breaks a bit, before we see him in the playoffs in games that matter.
He has insane eye popping stats but his game isn’t eye popping. 1) His game doesn’t stand out like other superstars where they have that superstar court presence and flair. 2) Plays for OKC 3) No past playoff success 4) Name is long, hyphenated and not catchy. 5) Canadian
1. Similar to Jokic, Shai plays slow and methodical. Casual fans find them boring 2. Their branding is boring and has nothing to do with the team name 3. They have a child predator on the roster

I generally like all of your videos but this one is very biased on SGA side. Luka is currently second best player in the world after Jokic and SGA is not even close to him. Dallas is only good because Luka is playing out of his mind, very bad roster and he carries them.
I agree. he didn't deserve first team all NBA when his team missed the playoffs entirely. I think it was disrespectful to rank him top ten above Booker and Butler who played well in the playoffs.
Now they ignore him, then they praise him and soon enough, they´ll slander him. It might be best to not pay attention to the media in the first place.
Well said
I still remember when the Clippers traded him to OKC for Paul George. I said at the time the Clippers made a mistake for trading him because I felt Kawhi and Shai would have won a championship for the Clippers by now.
I felt the same way
Kawhi isn’t signing with the Clippers if PG doesn’t get traded there, but in hindsight maybe you pass on Kawhi and just let Shai develop
@@mattmmixes That's true
Yeah I would have kept Shai over Kawhi and George
Even if they didn’t get Kawhi, the Clippers were in a good spot and had a squad that managed to even make the playoffs too with great team play.

He’s still one of the best in the league so 🤷♂️
Great narrative. I ilke this guy a lot. 👍👌🙌

A deep playoff run might have to happen but he needs to start winning!! No one can deny u if you're doing that.......just saying 🤔!!
No he will not
