[Highlight] Nickeli Alexander-Walker puts Paolo Banchero with a savvy spin move, changes direction, and scores the beautiful layup (with replays)

Yeah I think it’s over at this point. A lot of dudes have good cases this year… But NAW has been consistently much better than anyone expected
Rollins should be closer but yeah NAW has been awesome.
I got in a debate yesterday with a guy who thinks Colin Gillespie deserves it over NAW because “Naw was always this good.”
Brother, he has gone from 9ppg to 21ppg and helped turn the Hawks into a playoff team after they lost their franchise player.
Duren
that was so smooth
Shades of Shai
shades of NAW
I mean they do share an Alexander
Hey did you know they’re cousins???
I love Bob Rathbun man lmao
As requested by u/not-a-potato-head
Much appreciated
Can you post the video of the Josh Okogie put back if you’re taking requests please?
As soon as the Raptors-Kings game ends/timeout, sure.
Appreciate you!
Puts him where?
Based on that play, wherever he wants
I meant in a spin cycle, but I had rockets alarm while I wrote the title, didn’t even notice this mistake.
Thanks for noticing though.
MVP of this sub dude— what is your setup to get clips uploaded so fast?!
Buddy Hield’s screams💀💀
On the Magic feed his yells were coming through
Lmao, is that who was doing that high pitched hollering?
He’s such an awesome player now, he was the one who stood out to me the most over the last 2 Celtics Hawks games
Even more than Jalen Johnson? That’s who stands out to me when they play the Pistons. I like both of them a lot though.
I feel like JJ was already good last year so it’s not surprising what he’s doing, whereas NAW was known as a defense first player
I’m just saying in terms of who pops off the screen more, not who seems to have improved their game more. But it makes sense that NAW would stand out more if that’s how you’re watching the game.
He was kinda the wolves rock last year barring most of his playoff appearances. Now that he’s starting so much I’m not surprised to see him hooping and those averages increase so much. Awesome player, wish we coulda kept him but he for sure deserves the cash and the minutes.
He’s been looking like a 25m/year player instead of 15
I don’t know what was better, the spin move or the color commentary by Bob.
So happy for NAW
He deserves all the flowers this year
I’m so glad he plays for Atlanta and we never have to play against him.
hawks up 25+ and the suns get destroyed by the magic yesterday…
Suns almost came back I think the magic won by 3
NAW saving lives out here..bag work
Shai is NAWs cousin now
Second time he did that this game lmao
I love him
I’ll never forgive him for picking the Hawks over the Pistons lol
Why do this look slow-mo
Nickeil “Gilgeous-Alexander” Alexander-Walker
That spin was a tight 270 DEGREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZ
Legit since the All-Star break, he’s been a top 10 player in the league. His winning impact on both ends of the court is immense, and his offensive game is only getting better.
It took this dude like a month to cement himself as my favorite Hawk. Hes been so good for us man
Miss you, NAW :-( </3
Pretty soon it’ll be time to have conversations on who’s the better cousin
Nice move but tbh Paolo is strolling out there, that spin didn’t even really get him past the defense if Paolo was low stance moving his feet could have recovered but dude moving like he’s staggering drunk and then saw a hot chick
Hell NAW
Paolo didn’t even try to defend that lol
He’s so fucking good, really hope he continues to improve in this role and becomes the rock of the hawks. He’s a really fun player to watch
Between the r2d2 scream and Dominique doing a “somebody help he needs some milk” birdcall this highlight has it all
I’ll always be a NAW fan. Love that dude.
Im so happy for him. Always loved his game.
I love NAW, glad to see him balling out
