[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander hits the highly contested step back 3 buzzer-beater to end the 3rd quarter (with replays)
his 3pt% on stepbacks seems higher than the normal attempts lmfaoooo
I trust a clutch 3 from SGA more than when the game isn’t close
I’m old enough to remember when it wasn’t like that
I would trust dort with my life after he missed the last 7 shots for a clutch 3. Times are a changing doe
It 100%. Hovers 44%
I actually want to see a statistic on this. He uses that jab step to set up a lot of his drives and jumpshots. A good portion of his scoring rhythm comes from that jab step that he then uses to step back from.
i was thinking the exact same thing for real, a stat would be crazy.
Melo is looking down from above so proud of this man
It is because he uses the pull up which ain’t it
It seems that way for sure
I would almost rather him attempt stepbacks than shoot wide open 3s at this point. They’ve been automatic lately
Where’s the and 1
it left when 3 of our players got ejected for bs
Already posted
No he is saying this should have been 1
Yh lol. Sorry buck buck for the misunderstanding. We appreciate all that you do
Oh, sorry.

Landing space
It’s not an and-1. He jerked his body to make it look like one but I see zero contact with the defender. He also tilts his legs forward and falls back so I don’t know how anyone could say the defender is in his space because he jumps into the defender almost. Fucking crazy to see. He makes the shot while also pulling off a perfect foul baiting technique.
screenshot of his tilt
What foul? You honestly want the nba to call that flopping shit??
Wizards flair is SCREAMING right now.
We suck idc. That’s never a foul
ThUnDeR FlAiR
Where’s the offensive foul for a kick out
4-1 still keeping you butthurt
yall are pathetic trying to defend that trash
Minny fan is mad about losing 4-1 to us and the Mavs fan is still mad about trading Luka for a bag of shit.
🤣 yall gotta say anything to deflect from his pathetic flopping.
And a guy without a flair tying it all together
Why are you morons so obsessed with flair? I’m a Thunder fan clearly.
Lol you guys got the draft rigged for y’all and still somehow got worse, not tryna hear shit from your cancerous poverty franchise
lol thanks OKC education for making even Texans look smart.
He kicks his feet out bruh it could’ve been anyone on any team
without contact, that’s not a foul
Have you ever touched a basketball in your life. Thats a normal fadeaway mechanic when a defender is in your landing zone. You’re trying to avoid contact with their feet since it increases chances of injuries.
Same play just happened in the Wolves game last night and they overturned the foul on the three point shot, legit same play
Refs just suck all around man
He can’t keep getting away with this
Literally can’t stop it
Man’s playing on rookie mode right now, it’s actually unfair
What even is this shit man he got fouled there too
Should be an SGA ejection for scoring on the wizards like that
I was told you can’t even breathe on SGA without getting called for a foul
Refs swallowed their whistles all night, but Shai’s been hitting those all season regardless.
16 and 4 in the third with the team having an off night AND losing multiple key pieces. Playing his ass off in a game where OKC needs it.
We are really hyping this up vs Wizards? Cmon
He is a great players but this not it
Wizards swept the Nuggets last season
I’m hyping up a player any time they’re having a great game I don’t care who they’re playing.
You’re right, we should all embrace extreme cynicism and stop appreciating great basketball.
If your fave player did this, no matter what team they were playing, you would be hype. Especially when the game is as intense and chippy as this one has been
The wizards owned your golden boy last season
Youre witnessing a great player making great shots and your first thought is to be negative about the situation
Genuinely, what is even the point of following the sport if this is your approach?
I mean if SGA score 83 fairs
Downvoted by the Thunder bots that can’t think for themselves.
The glaze will continue until morale improves 🤮
He made some incredible shots
Waffles is still 2nd on the team in points despite getting tossed with 50 seconds left in the first half
That ejection was wild, he really packed a whole game’s worth of scoring into like 11 minutes.
One of those nights where we need the MVP to carry and he’s delivering. 36pts in 3 qtrs so far.
He’s been absolutely unstoppable tonight, just taking whatever shot he wants. That last one was pure ice in his veins.
Against the god tier wizards 😂😂
U out in full force since Luka dropped 60 lol can’t wait for you to hide like a pussy when OKC gives the lakers belt again for the 3rd straight game
Who are you moron? Nobody brought Luka up, cope so hard.
Lol. Lmao even
Bro Luka is playing, shut up, turn on your tv, and witness greatness goin for 50.
Turn on some 2025 finals highlights, witness some winning
You were twerking for Luka when he went off against the “god tier” bulls, mavs, and pacers btw. You’re so pathetic.
No, he went off against the nuggets, wolves, rockets and Knicks, cope harder idiot. Luka clears westbrick btw 😂
Others get the and 1 there
MVP
That is the mvp
That shit so automatic
He’s gonna stop at 222 consecutive games of 20+
Nah, 256 so I can chug two gallons of Great Value Berry Pomegranate Drink
256 is not a Fibonacci number so I’ll stay away
and then go for the “222 straight games scoring 22 points”. Imagine the Instagram caption he’d cook up for that post lol
If you want to see some step back 3s, have I got the highlight reel for you.
i think because they’re all Clips of SGA made 3s with less than 2 seconds on the clock
He did actually mix in a couple non-step back 3s just to keep us honest
sorry I didn’t actually watch the clips 👀👀I was just tryna be funny 😔
This was apparently the dagger too. Less than 7 min left in the 4th and the Wizards still haven’t scored a point this quarter lmao
Edit: first points achieved with 6:13 left
What we waiting for? Just give him the trophy..🏆
free throw merchant right?
I did “replace video”, so you should see both Thunder and Wizards commentaries if you watch through a PC/laptop now.
Dropped 40 and nobody says shit lmao.
So glad he is doing well despite the over aggressive behavior and egregious officiating.
If Wizards win this game, we gotta have some talks for when AD and Trae get healthy next season
They’re gonna lose by 20
They will be fun but nothing more tbh, young will get attacked constantly making their first line of defense weaker, and relying on AD has only gone well for LA who had LeBron. Especially if they have to extended them and now you’re tied up with money. They will definitely be better and fun games it’s gonna be hard imo
AD healthy
AD
healthy
😬
So MID
The legs???
I don’t watch many OKC games, but ok I understand now why SGA gets just a little bit of hate..
Those legs.. Those legs are ‘flopping’!!
Didn’t say he didn’t, just that I see what people say about the flailing.
Same way I can see why Embiid gets hate.
Why he gotta do all the flailing tho
just cant help but flailing like a moron and flopping even when he gets the perfect shot off. such a trash product
Can’t help but drain a step back 3 at the buzzer in a close game, fucking trash ass bum, get him out of the league
…and then flail his legs out and fall like a clown. gotta flip even when hes otherwise amazing. so pathetic
Gotta drop 40 in 31 minutes on 63% shooting even when he can just get to the free throw line. I don’t even know how people watch this dude.
and spent half the time on the ground. so fucking stupid. he clearly doesnt need to…but just cant help but flop like a bitch
I know man, it’s fucking infuriating the way he puts the ball in the basket as he falls down. Even more frustrating when he wins the game and the MVP and the finals and the finals MVP. He’s bad for the league. Doesn’t have to do all that shit.
god yall are so pathetic. cant help but try to justify it. or just straight pretend like its not happening.
You know what’s really pathetic? SGA. That mother fucker just shoots middies and step back threes constantly. Barely dunks the ball at all. No fun.
Quit spamming us with SGA replays… unless you throw in about 10 FTAs too
Well he only shot 8 free throws so that would be difficult
Dude might injure himself trying to flop like that mid air
mf cant even lose balance anymore without being flamed😭😭
Shai hate has really cooked people’s brains.
He did a fucking karate kick that wasn’t losing his balance lol
Lmao what the fuck was that flop attempt
What are you even talking about?
NBA players don’t kick their leg straight out, flail their arms, and fall over backwards when they shoot a 3
Leg kicked forward wasn’t near the defender.. defender landed in his space. Go get your eyes checked
In his landing zone??? He didn’t even touch him. How are you gonna tell me he got undercut? The leg kick was just trying to sell a flop
Becauuuuuuuse.. he moved his leg out of the way. Dude I don’t even know how you can literally see the video and come up with whatever you’re yapping about
> A common foul is called if a defender moves under or into a shooter’s landing spot, causing contact that risks injury, often during jump shots.
How the hell are you gonna tell me that he deserves a call on a play where he was not touched??? Thunder fans are different
Yeah. You’re claiming he flopped. I’m claiming he moved his leg to avoid contact. So you’re saying he shouldn’t have so he could have risked injury.. just so you wouldn’t be in here claiming he flopped?
just appreciate the bucket bro good god💀
Would appreciate it more if he didn’t do that embarrassing shit that gives the NBA a bad name. All these fucking foul baiters and floppers are an eyesore on an otherwise super skilled era
Lmao
Hes in his landing zone dumb dumb
It looked like the defender stepped next to him, I can’t really tell from this angle
