[Highlight] Shai Gilgeous-Alexander crosses Kobe Bufkin and finishes with the powerful two-handed dunk (with replays)
Shai almost never dunks so this was cool to see but I need him to chill out on the landing lol
Has he ever spoken on his low frequency of dunks? Is it a conscious choice to increase his durability? I’m curious
Yeah he’s said before that he can dunk but chooses not to because he’d rather have his body age gracefully even if that means forsaking a few highlights. Honestly fits his vibe if you ask me
I lowkey feel like Ant has had the same mindset recently in the past two years and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s because of Ja being a cautionary tale
He also paces himself very well. He will do little short paced jogs around the court. Keeps his heart rate low and then bursts only to score.
👀 Glances over at year 23 LeBron 👀
Respect to Westbrook who decided to give us highlight reals for the ages at the cost of his hands
It’s a huge physical risk that he doesn’t need to take, especially when his layups are already so efficient
This post is how i learned that he could dunk. Never actually seen it before
25 on 10-15 shooting
2-2 from 3
SGA putting 50% effort and still getting 30
i don’t get to watch okc much, but i’m always surprised how quick sga’s first step can be. he just blows by people, even good defenders.
i think it’s surprising because a lot of his evasion seems to come from smoothness of movement and shiftiness/stop-and-starting, that i forget he can do that too when he wants to.
EDIT:
his movements remind me a ton of pro wrestler swerve strickland from aew, in terms of how every move looks so smooth and controlled. almost mesmerizing at times
His movement reminds me of a very fast cat
I keep forgetting he can do that
that was so unnecessary lmaooo
MVP
He said “No 4Q tonight “
2 good
Literally a few possessions before that he was looking like he was laboring a bit.
Then he hit three buckets back to back ending with that dunk and then gets to sit the rest of the night.
HHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
We truly own the lakers its a great timeline
Crosses who?
Laker Kobe B, you’ve never heard of him?
Would have done it to Luka multiple times
