Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP acceptance speech
i hate on him on the court but having a good person and role model at the top is great for the league
What’s the point of being nice if his game sucks and is worsening the young kids
It’s not.
It’s insane how much he’s already accomplished at the young age of 27
Just getting started too. One of those teams we’ll be seeing til May/June for a few years
Yeah he got better than last season. I’m hoping he gets even better next season
He deserved it for sure
By flopping?
Congrats SGA, they can never make me hate you ❤️
The big bad boogie man of the nba. Some Canadian dude with a nice family and no off court drama. Gratz SGA. now let’s get this bread
Ehh his dad’s a weirdo but by all accounts Shai is actually quite down to earth and nice (edit: he literally said that he was going to breed Hali’s wife to him at a game, he’s weird)
Good for him
Damn say what you want about fouls and free throws, at the end of the day this guy is just an all around good dude and I believe he deserves nothing but respect.
Dude isn’t even a 1 time mvp if we are being real
Well deserved!
Hell yeah
Well deserved. He is my team’s enemy right now but I cannot deny it. This dude is pretty damn good and pretty consistent at being damn good.
I can only hope everybody stays healthy and the CBA doesn’t destroy these two teams so we can have a proper matchup year after year
Unfortunately with the current CBA, it will come for all contending teams eventually.
For some reason, the picture is frozen so it just looks like he’s doing the Robot celebration.
Are we sure SGA isn’t a robot?
everyone dogs on him for the FTs but ive rarely seen him complain to refs like jokic/brunson/luka does lmao. Its so rare that the one time he finally did it got turned into a gif spammed by braindead idiots on social media
On a legendary trajectory. Keep going.
He needs to come back first home down the line.
Shai is him.
Congrats, guys one hell of a player and got a good head on his shoulders. Excited to see where he gets to next and if they can do the 2 peat
Go get another ring shai ❤️
oh my aura
2 for 2
now the question is will they give him the 3peat next year or they gon say cause these guys didnt get it he shouldnt get it lol
I’d take dirk over SGA even at today’s age
Always seems like such a nice guy, makes the on court stuff all the more annoying but it’s not really his fault. Winners win.
Whole team looking like a Boy Scout troop
Whole team redefining the term ‘flash mob’ in those trenchcoats
I knew this guy was introverted
Dude is a baller. And much more likable in regular clothes!
People can hate. But he is a straight up good human. And he’s not bad at basketball
Don’t like his game but I would be lying if I said he didn’t deserve it . What a season he is having . Nuggets fan here.
We are watching greatness
Nobody dislikes SGA the person, or even 95% of his game.
It’s literally just the flopping on drives.
The NBA needs to make it a rule or an officiating focus to disallow it. Doing so would take nothing away from the game and make watching the NBA more enjoyable.
I can’t even truly blame SGA for doing it, he just gets the most hate for it because he’s the mvp and guys like Harden, and pretty much everyone’s favorite player does it too.
Honestly not hating, because he’s definitely in my top 2, but if I’m in the gym picking teams for pickup (which of course would never happen, because I’m not delusional) I’m picking wemby a million times out of a million.
Your Jack Daniel’s Father of the Year goes to …
This video is pretty funny to watch sped up 🤣

Jokic got waxed by an injured 6 seed btw
He’s gonna surpass your horse merchant this season so I understand your bitterness.
When your team is as good and deep as OKC Thunder are, you’re just not as valuable to your team as someone who is on a worse team and thus has to do a lot more to help their teams win. That is why SGA isn’t more valuable than Nikola Jokic.
Nikola sure was valuable for his team in the playoffs this year, he played good defense by attacking mcdaniels just for doing an open layup in garbage time lol
Last and final MVP :) But the championship rings will make up for it
He’s 3peating MVPs next season if the Thunder win the chip this year and maintain the 1 seed again next year
No. They already set the precedent they’re not giving anyone 3 in a row since bird.
No way. Team should be more well rounded and hopefully we don’t see Shai break over 25ppg again.
Lol you think Shai is not going to get 20 shots per game? If he gets 20 shots per game he’s averaging 31 in his sleep again. He won’t be averaging 25 until he’s like 32
Silver cares about 1 thing and it’s definitely not Integrity. If we have a neighbor as a star that looks good for Canada, helps Toronto out with people wanting to go for he OKC games, and more Canadians will watch.
Do you see what Silver is driven by?
Even if the league is showing some really sketchy officiating this playoffs(and they are - I ran the moneylines, and its quite comical) he only wants to dolla dolla bill y’all
You really think Silver is rigging the MVP for a quiet Canadian dude? Yall are ridiculous I swear 😂
Hard not to like him….well except the foul baiting lol
Flair up bro, the words of the unflaired mean nothing
Should’ve been Wemby up there. OKC missing arguably their second best player and haven’t lost a game. They couldve probably gotten all the way to the WCF without SGA
Straight up crazy. Because OKC was good with Jdub they would be good without SGA? Huh?
And what was Spurs record without Wemby again?
Truth hurts I know. This is a 50 win team without SGA
The truth is that OKC is a very good team ‘hurts’? Huh. Well that’s a new one. Turns out praising a team isn’t actually hurtful 😂
Btw you didn’t answer. What was Spurs record without Wemby?
That dude is hurt brother, remember the hungry abused dogs that bite the hand feeding them, that’s this lakers fan right now. No logic, pure emotional outbursts
I’m hurt because you don’t agree with my opinion who the MVP is? Lmao
Sorry I can’t keep up with your amazing debating skills. Clearly you’re dropped so many arguments that can’t be disputed including ‘your opinion ’ and also ‘your opinion’ both which come down to ‘just your opinion ‘.
Who could ever argue with those objective facts! 🤣 You clearly debate professionally, don’t you. I shouldn’t even try to bring facts into a debate based on feelings huh. 🤓
Okay so let’s say they do win 50. Which they don’t.
That means SGA brings them from the 6th seed to the undisputed 1 seed in the nba. Pretty good if you ask me
Cute
You need to go watch what Daigneault said about SGA’s second round performance, because you clearly don’t know ball
HC talks up best player. More at 11.
That sum it up?
Terrorism
r/onejoke NBA version.
Your teams superstar is Jalen Brunson lmao don’t imply what I think you’re trying to imply
Brunson doesn’t have as good as a whistle as his reputation might say, in his highest scoring games he has ethically sourced FGs:
VS Spurs (March 2024): 61 points, 25-47 FG, 6-6 FT
VS Wizards (December 2024): 55 points, 18-31 FG, 16-17 FT
VS Suns (December 2023): 50 points, 17-23 FG, 7-9 FT
VS Cavs (March 2023): 48 points 18-32 FG, 5-8 FT
VS Heat (December 2025): 47 points, 15-26 FG, 11-11 FT
Just this season he has 5.7 FT attempts per game good for 21st overall. SGA has 9.

top 1% commenter activities holy shit lmao can’t you just reply “no you’re wrong!” and go on with your day cause im not reading all that lol
The fact that you’re using “ethical hoops” unironically tells me this isn’t worth engaging with
Edit: Being snarky then blocking me before I can actually do something about it is peak new yorker lol. Knicks fans are trash
Being illiterate and be proud of it is such a Wisconsin thing lol.
i like to thank the refs for making me untouchable
7th highest TS% in the league btw
SGA and Kobe main difference during their MVP seasons is just the media
Sure, SGA does not push through contact and avoids it when he fouls which makes a lot of these compilations but that’s basically how I see it
SGA footage is pretty elite and watching him torch some teams in person was like watching Kobe with a higher floor and lower ceiling
Get a life
Who should be shooting more free throws than him this season ?
why the hell are you sporting an NBA flair? How does that even work
