[Highlight] SGA says NO and denies the Wemby lob!
Dude entered the zone, he was cooking on both sides of the floor, 15 points in the quarter to go with it wow
Add this play to his MVP highlight tape for the season, this is the type of two-way play that you rarely see out of elite offensive guards.
Offensive brilliance, defensive brilliance, clutch moments, leadership, and translating to wins. We’re witnessing a helluva prime.
Refreshing r/nba nuggets fan, love when people actually just like basketball
When I see one with the top 1% I usually know they’re not the bad ones
Would you say “they’re one of the good ones”?
I mean typically, regardless of flair, if they’ve been upvoted that much they usually have solid takes
Whoosh
I NEVER WANNA SEE THIS SHIT ASS SUBREDDIT EVER SAY LUKA > SHAI
Don’t even entertain this discussion they’re not in the same tier rn lol one guy is the reigning MVP + FMVP.
They had Luka ranked higher coming into the season btw.
Edit: https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1n3a7j3/after_over_300000_votes_here_is_rnbas_top_100/
Had him 5th 😭😭😭
I know some people here did but most actual sites I can recall had Shai/Jokic battling for 1
https://www.reddit.com/r/nba/comments/1n3a7j3/after_over_300000_votes_here_is_rnbas_top_100/
THEY HAD HIM AT 5TH. BEHIND STEPH FUCKING CURRY.
Nah I felt like the Grinch that day. My heart shrunk 10 sizes. Hate has been built.
I believe the commenter was referring to “this shit ass sub”
This subreddit hasn’t been saying that since the season started
Nah, they had him ranked higher in the start of the year poll bullshit. AFTER HIS MVP AND FMVP WHILE LUKA DIDNT DO SHIT. (Actually had him 5th behind Curry. Fucking outrageous)
Nah man fuck all that revisionism. This subreddit hates Shai for asinine reasons. I made a comment saying Shai is like Kobe and got -10 votes. WITH VIDEO PROOF.

Don’t let r/NBA tell you they don’t hate SGA.
You’re letting some troll from 5 months ago live rent free in your head. Consensus here was Jokic, Shai, Giannis, Luka in that order before the season started
Bro I got downvoted 22 days ago for providing factual information about Shai. I don’t care what they saying now, they stay on the other side forever for me.
They don’t like the facts, because they dispute all these dumbass claims this sub makes about SGA
Raptors bros always got our back
This subreddit has been saying exactly that and a lot worse since the beginning of time, it’s normie central.
Thats what the best players are supposed to do. There’s two sides of the ball, and doing whatever is needed from the team. Shai is the best in todays game at understanding that
Flow state for real
I am not sure I have ever seen Shai this fired up
He took those 3 previous losses personally lol.
It’s what you like to see with two competitive teams. Rivalries don’t need to be complicated or toxic. Can just be two good teams going back and forth.
If everyone stays healthy our games over the next few years are gonna take decades off my life. Can’t wait.
The west is actually just hell
I genuinely think no one in the East has a chance against whoever wins West this year
You thought that last year too
If I’m not mistaken I think the Pacers were super injured early and had the second best record in the league after the new year last season, only behind the Thunder. They were really good and got hot at the perfect time, people were just too focused on their overall record, reputation, and place in the standings I think.
Gonna be like those series against the Grizzlies in the early 2010s on steroids
Please no. Those were great and fun rivalries, but those wars took years off my life. We got 7 OT periods one year from a series.
Yes but we could always use an equivalent of the cheese grater
What’s the equivalent for a Thunder/Spur? Now I’m trying to think of it lol
Hmm good question….We can just bring in cheese graters anyways if either gets Giannis
Valid
It just hit me: you should bring some churros or Victoria Secret, no idea what we could do tho
Bring some math books
This whole NBC commentary crew trying to make it Wemby vs. Chet and Shai just comes in and dominates the 3rd…
Obviously I understand the appeal of comparing Wemby and Chet
But Wemby is clearly levels above Chet as a player and always has been, he should be compared to the standard of SGA and SGA alone on this Thunder team
Never seen him talk back to a fan before or whoever it was he was talking to after a tough bucket
I honestly think it was the ref for not calling his 3 that he got slappend on the wrist on a foul
He is taking this personally. Showing Wemby that there are layers to Best in the world conversations. He isn’t in that top 3 conversation
I like seeing him lose his cool a little
yeah that whole cool aura man shtick is whatever, I love this fiery side of him
that whole cool aura man shtick
I don’t think it’s a “shtick.” It’s just his personality. Lol. He’s just a laid back, even-keeled guy.
Yeah, that’s the Canadian in him
people might not want to admit it, but that laid back “aura” persona he has is part of what makes it feel so cool when he gets fired up
He has that Kobe mindset. He’s never going to be satisfied even after winning MVP and a title in the same season. He’s still hungry for more and that’s why he will end up as one of the greatest
I was just thinking the same thing. He didn’t like those last three losses.
It all started with that clear missed call on his 3
r/nba 9⁄11
r/nba also fucking ignoring Wemby flopping and falling over every 30 seconds even when he was just touched by Ajay Mitchell lmao. Ethical and sophisticated basketball my ass
Been seeing a lot of Sonic’s flairs defending the Thunder lately which is crazy to see but welcome I guess
It’s been almost 20 years and I hate the Spurs
I get that the narrative has to change to him being the bad guy now, but Wemby is genuinely that easy to knock over lol. I’m not sure people realize how weak he generally is compared to other modern centers.
That’s why smaller / stronger guys like Caruso, Dort, etc, give him such a hard time and why he can’t really post up / play bully ball.
I’m sure he flops and embellishes contact sometimes like everybody else does too, but physicality is by far his biggest weakness.
I agree with you, but I’ve heard all the shit for Chet, who is even scrawnier, so I will not be accepting it 🫡
When Wemby embellishes and flops “everyone does it” so it’s okay but when SGA does it he’s unwatchable?
This sub loves Shai when he’s playing fun, look at the comments
idk about “loves” the posts of his lowlights get WAY more traction than his actual highlights lol this sub is trash
When people aren’t reading Reddit post highlight titles and actually tune in to hate watch a game, you get to realize that Shai’s game isn’t actually 90% foul hunting.
if this was Jokic, this post would be sitting at 12k upvotes on the front page
Jokic couldn’t make this play in his dreams lmao
OKC start putting belt to ass in that 3rd.
SGA asking Chet to take notes after the game
Based on the highlights in this sub I thought the thunder were getting smoked 😂
The thunder never get any highlights lmao it’s all just cheating conspiracies and lowlights. You’re more likely to see Kyle Anderson score a layup on tyus Jones than an okc highlight on here
😭this deadass the first positive thunder post I’ve seen in forever
Posted this same comment the other day and got downvoted to oblivion lol
Lmfaoooo
Slowmo needs some love 😂
almost like r/nba has favourites or something
I had to make my regularly scheduled “the Thunder just blew the game open” post to remind everyone we were winning lmao
Buck buck has smoke with us and the main poster of highlights. So, if you just see what he posts you would think we were the worst team in the NBA. He always trying to paint a narrative
He blocked me and my feed has been so much better ever since, thank you MrCuckCuck
Champs finally not playing scared. Damn that was a fun 3rd quarter to watch.
[deleted]
dawg
Okay that was a really good block
That wemby fella always do be fall’n
r/nba gonna ignore all the flopping for their favorite ethical hooper
Dude has been on the ground more than any three other players haha
THATS MY MVP
just mvp things
What a sick play, Shai is such a good player
MVP SHIT
BACK TO BACK We gonna have conversations man
THIS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE , BTA! MVP.
People say this dude doesn’t play good defense
Who? I’ve always heard him mentioned as a genuine 2 way superstar
Jokic and Luka fans mostly
Jokic and Luka fans don’t know what good defense looks like
At times people like to say “well he is on a team of good defenders” to try and diminish his defensive contributions at
This subreddit lmaooo maybe I just realize it more because of bias but it’s said a shit ton same with the nbatalk subreddit
I have got downvoted before for saying he wasn’t a overrated defender. Probably by luka/jokic stans
for like 12hrs straight after he wasn’t on the floor when book hit that game winner
Fuck are you talking about? Even his haters knows hes a good defender
that’s our 2-way MVP
The effort has been crazy in this game lmao
Pure, Ethical Basketball
SGA is unconscious rn
Lock for MVP
HE SAID FUCK THAT FRENCH FRAUD
He’s everywhere. Best player in the world, playing with more effort and intensity than anyone.
SGA just went unconscious in the third
Spurs vs. thunder is the best rivalry in the NBA today. These two teams hate each other
Okc doesnt hate the spurs. They just hate losing
Spurs have a target on okc tho and thats fine. #1 seed in the west for 3 seasons (already including this one) and the current champs
I hate them
Wemby absolutely hates chet for whatever reason. Dude is the most hyped prospect of all time and picks beef with the third option just bc they’re similar heights
Whatever motivates him, its fine
Wemby and Chet were pitted against each other in international competitions. That’s why they have a rivalry. It has nothing to do with the Spurs or Thunder, just worked out that way.
According to chet its not even a rivalry, they just matched up alot as kids.
Yah they hate each other that’s why they were dapping up after this game and the last two (Wemby walked straight to the locker room btw)
they just embraced and had fun with Biz after the game. It’s a one-sided beef by Wemby.
MY MVP PLAYS DEFENSE
Shai just decided to switch gears and took over. Just MVP things
Get that shit out of here
Wait I was told he only shoots free throws
i was NOT expecting this at all lmao i just spilled my drink everywhere
Did you drop to your knees too
yeah i did how’d you know
Pure, ethical, resilient, sophisticated, elegant
What a game from him holy fuck
MVP doing mvp things
Haters are missing out on a generational talent
nah they witness every second of it, he rent free in their head. they relish in it more than we do.
They not watching bro trust
you might be right… i forgot where i was at 🤣👏🏽
That’s a Russ on KD type block
That was so violent 😭😭
I’m in tears we’re so back bro (we lost 7 games this season)
thunder have just been all over wemby tonight, no matter whos on him
Aliens aren’t fuckin real
Chet - ahh I understand it now.📝
Not many dudes are doing that to wemby
Shai is the coldest motherfucker alive
my goat always shows up when it matters
Great read by Shai
that’s some MVP shit right there
That’s my MVP
One of the best individual quarters I’ve seen in a while.
EVERYBODY IS BETTER THAN SHAI UNTIL IT’S TIME TO BE BETTER THAN SHAI
Wemby’s had several “ethical” flops tonight.
He is actually in flow state. MVP
Holy shit dude fucking wants it
Ultra instinct 3rd quarter from Shai
SGA has me yelling at the screen on a Tuesday night
INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS
R/nba just collectively fell to their knees in their moms’ basements
THATS WHY HES THE MVP
Fuk it start SGA at Center now
Delete this - r/nba
Best in the league. MVP, CPOY, FMVP, hell put him in DPOY the conversation.
Sure thing - “Shai is not the DPOY”.
Love the man but hes not even a top three defender on our team.
I told y’all OKC would cook Spurs rest of season
He went up so high
Dope block
OKC DYNASTY TAKES REVENGE ON THIS FRAUDULENT 2ND SEED
Shai is using the Spurs to farm highlight clips. That’s MVP shit
Crazy
Shai mad mad lol
this gonna look good in the MVP highlights video
RAAAAAHHHHHHHHH
Baeically a reverse poster.
dominated both sides of the ball this quarter.
MVP bullying a tall frenchman
Wemby flops like a fish against the Thunder lmao give em a taste of their own medicine
I upvoted but then downvoted
Lol same. If we flopped like San Antonio did tonight, r/NBA would set a record for engagement.
This feels like a game 7.
They pissed off bro with so many missed fouls. That third quarter was total flow state from him
u/savevideo
MVP ngl
That feels personal.
Canadian bakin his ass
That is a statement move, sick stuff doing that to Wemby
Sheesh
That’s what the top players need to do. Giannis is the only one that plays both sides like Shai. We need to stop letting one side players be MVPs when others are doing damn near the same productivity on the the same side but 10x as much on the other.
An MVP is not a one sided player, get the fuck outta here with that shit.
Thunder don’t wanna loses 4 times to sSA
I swear the last 3 games vs Spurs that 3 is 100% going in.
People really said we’d be a 60 win team without him
Announcer corny lmao
My king
my goat
Willing to concede that’s a good-ass denial
Uh, oh. The Thunder are back. What will this sub snarkly post about now?
okc took the 2 losses personal
Some dumbass literally said SGA was Fox with a superstar whistle just yesterday.
I feel sorry for the teams that have to play these ones in the playoffs because the league is definitely trying to make this series matchup happen lol.
I don’t want to overreact but this was the greatest basketball play of all time.
game thread comments were HILARIOUS when this happened lol
Man, the Thunder really deserve better announcers.
Literally Maple Jordan
Wemby plays like a bitch fr
TRULY THE GREATEST GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER OF ALL TIME!
