[Highlight] SGA hits a ridiculous layup between two defenders
Oooh that’s strong work, love a drive & finish thru multiple defenders
MJ esque
Beautiful move. He’s dialed right now
More Kyrie esque
SGA is approaching Kyrie levels of finishing at the rim
He’s do good
He’s so good x4
Can luka genuinely do this anymore 😅
Idk man, Luka will make the dumbest weirdest shit you’ve ever seen in your life, then go back to bricking 4 open 3’s in a row. So it goes.
Free-Throw-Merchant
My favorite part about Shai highlights is the reverse jerk.
Anyways, he’s unwatchable.
He has single handily destroyed basketball.
SGA killed my dog
He would be a cat guy…
I heard he donates money to kill shelters
Something something electrical infetterence something yaaaawn.
Modern MJ
How old are you?
Baby Jordan over here.
I’ve done this at the park plenty of times
Jovic should have positioned to take a charge here surely? This is the most “I want to look like I’m trying to play defence without actually playing defence” attempt I’ve seen in a while.
How? There’s no way he’s beating SGA to that spot.
You can’t tell from this clip but in the game jovic should have moved to centre basket faster, Shai starts driving and jovic is flatfooted for a bout a second too long. More of a positioning error than anything else (also egregious defence by rozier, Ajay Mitchell had cut behind him and rozier had no idea)
? how tf would he do that, he’s not remotely between sga and the basket. The fact SGA STILL wiggled this shot through despite really high effort contests, you’re just a traffic cone off to the side of a layup drill if you’re taking a charge here. And even if he hits you they won’t call it a charge lmfao
He’s good to at least one crazy layup a game lol.
Hate to be “that guy”, but his right foot comes down before the ball leaves his hand.
? It doesnt
Cant believe his highlights sometimes.
Feet were still touching the ground when he let go on the ball. Cool finish though.
Why didn’t he flop? What’s happening to him?
why does bro always make that tortured monkey face 🤣 fire layup anyways
Ridiculous? Don’t think so.
Not hating but this wasn’t worthy of a post imo.
This angle is awful but the ball almost hits the top of the backboard ..
What do you mean? Having enough english to make the layup when the ball hits the upper right corner of the backboard while double teamed is normal.
Neither was your comment, but here we are
I love that he can do this beautifully at will, but will still fall over if you contest a jump shot within 3 feet of him.
Delusion
It’s posted every other day here with high definition clips as evidence lmao remember when he fell forward in the direction the (lack of) contact came from, defying physics?
Show us
I did. Imagine saying “show us”, like anyone who has ever watched the NBA hasn’t seen Shai fall over from someone being in his presence.
You edited your post with a clip of SGA getting undercut from 2 weeks ago despite making the claim it happens “every other day” lmao. I thought I would get a little a few recent ones or something
This is why people say casuals base their entire opinions on highlights. Think for yourself
I linked the most embarrassing one because he clearly doesn’t get undercut and even if he was undercut he falls in the direction of that the contact is coming from. Which defies every law of physics and is only possible when the offensive player never planned on landing in the first place.
Me thinking for myself: we don’t have anything to talk about if you enjoy watching any players fall over from little to no contact. Go worry about yourself.
Stop it. You linked the only one you could find this season. Or else you would’ve given me a huge compilations of “evidence from every other day”
Your explanation is anti-athletic and just screams you haven’t played basketball much. He gets undercut and tries to prevent ankle injury. The Suns challenged it and lost.
That literally makes no sense why you would assume that and it’s embarrassing that you would try to make this personal. Idk why it’s bothering you that much at all.
You want more videos you can find dozens of them for free yourself. There’s my 2 second search. Use your two braincells to find more on your own. I’m not your personal google. If your argument is that if I don’t personally link that it doesn’t happen, that’s the cherry on top.
I’ve played basketball my whole life. I see plays like this all the time. Pick ups almost never call close out fouls so it happens all the time. Never in my life seen a player fall forward into the direction contact came from if it happened at all. Because it’s not how gravity works genius.
So after claiming SGA falls whenever someone contests his jumper and claiming evidence of that is posted every other day, you’re proof of this is a three year old clip you found of YouTube that has zero to do with falling on a jumper
And then the cherry on top is saying “there’s dozens”, but you haven’t been able to link one
You don’t play sports, you said something objectively incorrect even in hyperbole, and you aren’t smart. Stop pretending lol
Russ flops more than Shai does lmao
Okay? Good for him.
Watch the games brotha, he has finishes like these a lot
Yes I know that’s why I said he can do this at will. Because he does. Lmao
That’s just called splitting a double man lol
You don’t know what splitting a double is, clearly
?? They sent a second man and he split the gap - nice lay tho
I’m literally laughing out loud holy fuck
Bro this is not what splitting a double is lol
What would you say it is then?
An example of splitting a double would be when a player is doubled or trapped at the top of the key and then he dribbles between the two defenders, driving through the middle of them, effectively “splitting” them in half by driving the gap between them. Both defenders need to be actively trapping or doubling and the ball-handler has to drive between them for it to be a split.
In this play, SGA beats the first defender one-on-one by driving to the right. Only after the defender is beaten does the help defender step into his path (and really SGA is the one driving into the help defenders space). The fact that he finishes the layup between two defenders at the basket does not make it a split.
Word thanks for the legit response - still seems like splitting to me since he had two guys on him and put the ball past both of them to score, but I can see how technically its not - either way main point was I thought it was a more of a good play than a ridiculous one lol but also not going to go down with the ship hating on a good play
Typical reddit ball knowledge
Break it down for me
