[Highlight] SGAs last three games, 4 clutch step back 3s
People were saying Wemby or Cade should be in MVP talks… but we have this guy…
I always assumed that was only if Jokic and SGA didn’t hit the minimum number of games.
Some people were/are saying ot regardless of the 65 games.
Cade has no case, never did, he wouldn’t make my 1st team because its a team sport and team wins have nothing to do with it, he is not on that level. But Wemby would have a case if they took the 1 seed and he continued his offensive trajectory, averaging near 30, because that’s how good he is defensively
Wemby has a legitimate case over Jokic regardless of eligibility
They absolutely should and I wouldn’t be surprised to see those guys win one in their careers but yeah… SGA has had it on lock and this was the cherry on top
Wouldnt be surprised to see Wemby win one is the coldest take ive ever seen
If you could bet on whether or not he’d win one, it’d be like.. >95% odds
I would be surprised if Wemby wins less than 4 honestly. He is only gonna get better and so are the Spurs for the next few years. Hell I wouldn’t be surprised if he was the runaway MVP next year
He’ll be the preseason favorite for sure
Both amazing and deserving players. Im sure they’ll win at least one in their careers. But this year SGA has it on lock.
Kinda makes me wish we had some matchups with them later in the season. That being said, I don’t know if Spurs level up like they have without that early series against OKC
his celly is tough
I spam that everytime I do a stepback.
CPOTY back on the table. Him vs Ant
After tonight he reclaimed #1 in clutch points scored and clutch PPG, surpassing Maxey.
Ant is 3rd.
Ant has a better percentage tho, i think he’s getting it, no way the nba gives shai cpoy along with mvp
Why not?
Ant is a whole 10% higher in clutch fg% at 56%, that’s even higher than his regular fg%, these 3pt daggers sure do put shai in the convo though
How many of his clutch points resulted in wins though? Does that even play a factor, I’m not too familiar with the award but I recall ant going crazy in clutch time vs the spurs which resulted in a loss. Not ants fault ofc just wondering if the nba values a game winning shot over 20 clutch points and a loss.
That’s a great point, they have the same amount of clutch games played right now and Shai has won 2 more than Ant. I think it’s really close right now and if it remains this way i think the voters would give it to Ant since Shai is already basically a lock for mvp
Yup I might lean toward ant right now since his clutch time efficiency is crazy. But I can see another clutch game or two from either player before the end of the season swinging the votes one way or the other. Recency bias might play a factor as well.
Because the majority of his “CPOY” points are free throws or against a backup defender because the main one is on the bench fouled out.
Also these are the last 4 games, Ant has been doing this all year.
Shai has been doing this all year too lol, ANT had a much better TS tho
All October and November was him torching teams in the clutch
When they made him play in the 4th
Torching teams=shooting free throws
Man stfu, they both clutch why you gotta bring Shai down to praise Ant
Call me whatever you want but I ain’t wrong. Ant does it without the refs and free throws
Example of the worst basketball discourse possible
ok and ant will never be as good as shai. gonna cry?
You’re surprised the guy shooting double the amount of threes as the person with the most drives per game in the league is shooting less free throws.
Quit making us look bad. You can’t even use the FT argument after a game like tonight.
Post this instead, don’t be an asshole .
Yeah i was thinking about this one, I thought the shai three before that was the dagger and then the Ant show came on
You’re literally commenting this where he hits 4 clutch 3s in three games, you can not be serious.
Yeah, just cannot get mad about Ant winning it
Ant is stupidly efficient doubt Shai can get up to that in the last 20ish games
What ethical shots. The way 3 pointers are supposed to be shot. The ethical way
Nah he shoots them like THUG
Now Sam Merrill, that’s good 3 point form
SGA finna start making people have some uncomfortable conversations. Another ring/Mvp this year and I’d really say he’s a top 5 guard of all time.
Only Jordan, Kobe, Magic, and Steph would be above him
Yup, and he still has chance to keep adding to it, because he plays for an organization that knows what they’re doing. Unlike Giannis with the Bucks.
I rate him above Kobe
Too soon for SGA, I have to respect Kobe 5 chips and 11 first teams is nuts. SGA is definitely on his way though to pass a lot of greats
I thinks he’s basically hyper-efficient Kobe, but I think it’ll take another MVP/Finals MVP season for this convo to get really hot.
He’s playing at a higher level but Kobe’s won so much more.
And if we’re talking greatness then that matters
He’s gotta get 3 FMVPs for Kobe talks imo
3 championships and 3 MVP’s would do it I think. Kobe had Shaq and was not as individually great at his peak as SGA is now, as crazy as that is to say
I mean I’m a thunder and sga fan lol but I’ve gotta give respect where it’s due. Kobe has 2 FMVPs. I guess I don’t disagree with you though, sure if he had 3 chips and 1 of those he was not FMVP, but had 3 MVPs to go with it, I’d say he’d easily be in Kobe talks.
I think 3 FMVPs would give him a stronger argument for being above Kobe though
Yall on some bullshit lol the recency bias is insane
I understand SGA won’t have changed the game like curry but he has a chance to pass him on pure numbers and accolades merit. Maybe even Kobe with his decline in perception as of late
Nobody can change the game like curry. SGA is a similar type of offensive player as MJ. This type of player has already been modeled. Being really good at being that type of player is the hard thing.
Still can pass Curry. Hell have just as many MVPs as him and if they win this year, more FMVP than him. It starts to become a real comparison.
He can definitely be better than curry as a player. He just can’t have the impact that curry has had on the game. Everyone can shoot 3s. Not everyone can do what SGA does.
Why put magic above him? Talent-wise, he’s not close. He was on a stacked team and does have a lot of hardware because of it but he should be the first one to go on this list
It’s not even the accolades. It’s also the efficiency. He scored 35 tonight on 67%. Also had 15 assists and 0 fucking turnovers
And the one time he lost the handle he punched it over to Ajay Mitchell
If he wins another championship this year he’ll definitely be this decade’s Number 1 player at the very least.
I’ve been waiting for this guys
R/nba 9⁄11 tonight, SGA has completely embarrassed Jokic every time they’ve played this is on some Hakeem David Robinson type shit
Jokic played great. The loss isn’t on him.
r/nba can be ridiculous but what you’re doing here isn’t any better
Jokics defense was absolutely god awful, he was the worst player on that side by a country mile
Yeah when Shai drive right at jokic and jokic backed up and shai just…. Finger rolled it right over him. That was funny
Aaron Gordon also looked like the greatest player of all time first quater.
SGA🤝Knicks
❤️
Come on now, i wouldnt say losing by 3 points with 24/14/13 is getting embarrassed.
Losing by 3 to SGA and the bottom half of the OKC roster 😂. The most embarrassing loss of the year by a country mile. SGA also hit wilts record against you and a game winner. This will be played on loop for years like that Curry 3 against OKC
Watching the 10 year anniversary clip of that the other still had my heart sinking like it was live
Calm down brother
“Country mile”
No one remembering ts by the end of this week mind you. Bland as feta cheese
Jokic had 32 points
if he hits another one against Boston I will release the Vitex1988 files or something idfk, the people on the circlejerk sub want them for some reason
Wat does this mean
IDFK either, but this and this suggest they want me to do that
Wtf
What is a waifu
an anime girl you really like, in my case Shylily lol
His Pink Panther phase
Silence to all no ball knowers
Better than joker confirmed
How can anyone even force the ball out of SGA’s hands.
I think thats the problem. Dude has the most insane handle and players think they’ll be the one to stop him and end up just getting baited into his trap.. they get frustrated they cant guard him.
That second one was so clean going through the net
Perfect back rim. so much better than a swish!
Means he’s taking these on purpose to get the reps and show off his repertoire lol, what a player
Yeap he is taking those shots as counters to improve for the Playoffs.
Its one of the key things he has got better at, alongside crisper playmaking (faster decisions and more advanced passing).
If people need to guard that shot, they cant stop him getting to the mid range.
Bro. Help a brother out. How do you cut and download specific plays?
record the game on a VCR; rewind and pause; literally cut the tape; repeat as often as necessary; melt tape together; play on VCR; record TV with iPhone and upload.
BuckBuck does that shit quick!
SGA’s right leg doing so much heavy lifting with all them brakes. Hardest working right leg in the league
its kinda funny Shai only likes to attempts 3s in clutch time
I mean it makes sense since he drives always. Gotta mix up things and not fall for patterns
I just now noticed his three point celebration.
Elite
But but free throws
Gotta leave him wide open so its not a step back, play the odds
Well defended too. Damn.
soon people will start to realize what they’re watching
CPOTY!!!!! oh yeah mvp also
Guys like Shai and Luka not great three point shooters but they make it in the clutch
We said if he develops a more consistent 3 he has virtually 0 weakness either side of the ball and here we are
I love seeing the 3rd and 4th clips from tonight’s shots and the crowd pop just gets even louder at the ridiculousness of Shai doing it AGAIN.
Lawd
Oh, Dort took the heat from a full 3 months of douchebag dumpster trash comments and now that SGA is back in the conversation because he is doing what he has done for the past year in the NBA. Being an absolute menace. And NOW people are semi-okay with it?
What a load of trash. I can’t stand the NBA fans anymore. Just pure queens, all of you. Have to drama up every situation not in your favor and consult each other to create a nasty narrative against whatever player you can direct it at.
Just sad sports are in this place in general but glad SGA never gave a single fuck about you or your comments.
What’s that celly thing he’s doing
His movement and footwork is beautiful. give me SGA vs WEMBI GOD DAMN IT!!!
He’s morphing into Harden
SGA is a tier above prime Harden. Efficiency and defense make up the extra 3 ppg and assists. Not to mention the ring
Dude, I’m Canadian. I obviously have SGA over Harden. It was a joke alluding to SGA and his free throw discourse being compared to Harden. Now he has the stepback 3 too
Push off on the first Denver shot is bad, otherwise 3 crazy shots
