What's most underrated is the fact that he doesn't exaggerate steps with the stepback like Harden (or Curry) will. He doesn't shove defenders off on the snatch back. He doesn't really foul bait for his points. He is just getting buckets. Clean Stepbacks. Quick crossovers into mid range pullups. Pinoy Steps, Euro Steps, poster dunks. His offensive arsenal is complete.
He definitely uses his off arm to push off quite a bit. Sometimes he uses only his shoulder, sometimes his shoulder and elbow, sometimes a straight up push with his hand. You can usually get away with it so why not give yourself the advantage? He definitely foul baits with his pumpfake and then jumps into his defender sometimes. No extremely often, and he gets buckets without doing it to. I was always taught to jump into the defender after pump faking them (he does in several of the highlights).
@@petershen7949 I always hated when the foul was called from the offensive player jumping into the defender. I'm glad that is no longer a rule and ref's generally do a good job letting it go. I think Shai is at catching defenders overplaying it on defense he's no Hezi God but he knows a good bump or subtle push will completely throw them off balance and then he takes advantage. He's a hooper at a high level and fun to watch!
His game is sneaky and smooth. His step backs, his counters, handles he even pushes off ever so slightly enough that he doesn't get offensive fouls, he shoots when you least expect him he bust's a move when you think you got him. Look at his dunks a lot of them happen when you expect him to just lay it in or shoot over. SGA sneaky smooth AF.😂
SGA is 1C talent just behind MJ and Kobe. He reminds me of Kobe (skill-wise) with Jordan's shot selection and efficiency (Jordan wasn't as flashy with the dribble/iso compared to Kobe)
Plays through/above everything...traffic, pressure, floor position. Reminds me of track legend Michael Johnson, fast, extremely sound and smooth... While those around him strain. SGA is on to the next move. I see defenders trying, but SGA always looks like he is playing by himself.
@@dougbrown6952 come on bro, K.I is pure 🏀 and that's fact, now I don't really your point, but you got to understand SGA is a whole different package their game disclose it all 😂
the first clip is beautiful because it shows his mentality and the teams confidence in him. clippers defense thought he would go for a 2 for the tie but he goes for a 3 for the win. shais a straight up dog
He’s game is different for sure but my thing is he do at times takes 3 steps and refs don’t call it. But he’s for sure the best SG right now. No debate either
The time is short repent from your evil ways.The Most high God is sending His wrath upon the earth.Don’t follow vain things and materialistic things of this world.Cut off the idols and serve the only Living God through Jesus,so that you may everlasting life and peace in your end.
In terms of how he handles the ball, his strides and movements, and the shots he takes, he's so much like MJ. *I said what I said. I didn't say he had the same success as MJ, so calm down.*
I don't think he has a deep bag. Simple moves that most NBA players do nowadays. His strength is momentum, playing at his own speed. His ability to change his speed to make up for his lack of burst speed and explosiveness are his strengths. Behind the back, toe drags, extending his arms with the ball.
Ding! Finally someone with eyes. The kid is simply strong. Players fly off his shoulder bump. There was a podcast with nba players and they all said by consensus that once he puts that shoulder into you its over.
His bag is deep in the sense that he can counter everything up until the very last second with footwork and body control, instead of using flashy dribbling moves. His footwork and body control is so good at full speed that he capitalizes on openings that most players simply aren't physically capable of. Him being able to get to his pull up and step back on command makes it almost impossible to stop him because he's literally just reacting. I don't think SGA even knows what he's about to do until he does it.
@@warmbeergamingdude simply strong? You can’t write off all of his counters and ball handling ability as “simply strong”. Like are we talking about the same person? lol
This is how we played basketball in the 80's. No wasted movement. Put the ball on the floor when it's time to score. But he's in OKC with zero expectations.
Hmm 2:00 was a travel. If he pounded the dribble right when he took that first "right-foot" step, then that would have counted as the gather and therefore be legal. But he had already begun gathering the ball before that right foot planted and subsequently took 3 steps. Refs missed that one.
D wade low post package, Paul George foot work and pull back,Dame like range on fade away threes this young man will be HOF after it’s said and done!!!
He's got great timing, smooth articulation and precise control of the ball but how is this any different or "unique" than any other good players of his size with similar style? Common step backs, snatch into mid-range, and whipping dunks.
@@riot2136 Thanks i'll check it out man. I might not be seeing all the little shoulder/hip movements, change of directions, accelerate & deceleration that he possesses. But then again, i would also mention that most of the great outliers players have special characteristics, then the next question would be how long can he sustain it? For example T-mac in his prime, i would put him up against any scorer who's ever lived but his injuries got the best of him, also many other What-If players whose career ended early. At first glance I just didnt see any outstanding scoring attributes that he has beyond the greats
Hate to be the negative guy here but 0:59 you can clearly see he has his right foot in the ground before the shot goes up its a clear cut travel but who cares lets go OKC 😂
the most casual acting, dunk in ya face off 2 feet, pg, the league has ever seen. dude has the it factor and will score more points than jerry west and steve kerr, combined.
About a quarter of these plays involve using his forearm to create space/push off his defender. Ladies and gentlemen, that's an offensive foul. Other than that - this man has some serious skill.
If it was an offensive foul they’d call it and wouldn’t let him get away with it every play your not a ref your just a random dude sitting on your couch watching your allowed to do that bump as long as your not obviously extending your arm
@@250miles2 yes bud that’s how basketball works if a ref sees a foul they call it they him do that move all game and don’t call it cuz it’s not a foul otherwise they’d call it and wouldn’t let it happen all game only thing they don’t call in the nba are carry’s

Great points bro
His shooting form is always the same
He pushes a lot! Nonetheless, thats a bad man with a deep bag!!

He’s smooth. Even when dunking on people dominantly, it seems like he doesn’t have to try hard. He’s some kind of savant.
thats how smooth players look, just look at PG he the guy who made the word smooth
Refreshing to see a guard or even a player in general with good post moves. Footwork is impeccable.
Can speed up with a version of Kyrie's ball handling but then can also slow down with a version of Luka's control and pace. Makes defenders guessing.
also his post game is kobe-esque
He has his game stop the nonsense

one of my favorite players in the league rn. the separation he achieves with his stepback is unbelievable
@00:40 , that was the smoothest subtle headtop I have ever seen 😂
he brings joy and world class skill, what more can you ask for
I see he loves the behind the back crossover, it's very effective
Wildcat shit
SGA is 1C talent just behind MJ and Kobe. He reminds me of Kobe (skill-wise) with Jordan's shot selection and efficiency (Jordan wasn't as flashy with the dribble/iso compared to Kobe)
First time watching this guy cook GSW last night. Instantly became one of my new favorite players 😲
Had Curry LEAAAANING
One of my fav young ballers out there...love his gm
His Handel is quirky and weird but at the same time so effective 😂
we love shai
2:46 is just cold blooded. Lol. My guy!!
His bag be limited with Ausar Thompson on his ass 😂
Plays through/above everything...traffic, pressure, floor position. Reminds me of track legend Michael Johnson, fast, extremely sound and smooth... While those around him strain. SGA is on to the next move. I see defenders trying, but SGA always looks like he is playing by himself.
Amazing footwork. Very sneaky player. I personally enjoy Ant’s game more, but Shay deserves all the respect. One of the best.
He's another version of kyrie Irving, i have been watching him from day one, he's most likely to be a great one out there
agree bro. Feel like he's a blend of ky and Luka ... Curry Kyrie and SGA my fav players to watch
@@timr8456 totally and he's still have room to grow in a much better player love how the youngster's coming in like crazy 🤣
Kyrie is the most overrated player in nba history. Shae is for real!
@@dougbrown6952 come on bro, K.I is pure 🏀 and that's fact, now I don't really your point, but you got to understand SGA is a whole different package their game disclose it all 😂
@@issaabdoulaye6862 Kyrie is CJ mcullum. I could name sooooooo many players that I would take rn or in his entire career.
:59 he jumped, landed, then he threw the ball up. LMAO
He traveled at 1:56
Super Shai. He is already mvp lv player.
The next great one.
PG13 having nightmares bout that right side step buzzer beater 3… in his old building 😂
Awesome!
Yeah his BAG is definitely so different 😊
His poster dunk here had my crying 0:41
Braided Shai is too smooth

Shut the fuck up. Y’all been saying the end coming for 2000 years. Fuck off

Anywhere in that key is damn near automatic killer step back sweet touch underrated hops
That shooting % !
SGA Is One Of The Best Point Guards In The NBA Right Now Mark My Words He Is A Future MVP
idk if this is a wild thought but I take SGA over JA
@@thatluckyronald3679definitely not a wild thought. I would say his game is more whole than Ja’s.
Nice vid but these are almost all old high pits from 3-4 years ago
FROM THE LOGO! will never not be hype
Sga and ant gon run the league
I didn't know he was dunking on 2 people😂🔥🔥🔥
he's not lefty but his left really solid
“4th quarter yelling why tf batum in” - 0:08
In terms of how he handles the ball, his strides and movements, and the shots he takes, he's so much like MJ.
*I said what I said. I didn't say he had the same success as MJ, so calm down.*
Shai in the 90s would be an anomaly
Start stop ability is very different
He got a veteran style he a all star for sure
Clutch player of the year
The best under the radar player in the NBA
Hard to be under the radar and 1st team all NBA 😂

@@warmbeergamingdude Thanks brother! I agree 100%.

hardest canadian player currently
When the ball is in the air after he shoots time slows down or maybe I’m just crazy😳
Modern day George Iceman Gervin!!!!
That long step lean step back off the behind the back cross be killing the defender
He makes it look so easy
00:59 traveled, already landed his right foot before releasing the ball.
The most underrated player in the NBA might be the best player in the same league. And he's from my town.
a mixture of prime harden's move with some kd moves too

SGA got that Kobe and MJ dna in him

Shai’s hair is already longer than kawhi’s. Klaw has had hair for like 15 years now
Pay attention to the camera at 9:43, that move was so shifty it made the camera man stumble 😂
the best 2 guard in the league currently imo
Best guard in okc thunder history for a reason.
cp3?
2nd
Have to include the Sonics

Thinking Basketball has a great video that explains why he's more unique than you'd expect, it's only 10 mins, check it out if you get the chance

Top 3 point guard in the league
He reminds me of penny hardaway.

Just think the clippers got rid of this guy for Paul George
the most casual acting, dunk in ya face off 2 feet, pg, the league has ever seen. dude has the it factor and will score more points than jerry west and steve kerr, combined.
I dunno if I’ve seen a spin move look more effortless…name me someone with a nicer one?
