What SGA been doing is nothing short of incredible. Honestly even tho Jokic's stats are insane, SGA stats are still incredible, And i feel like as far as MVP voting goes, The league should reward WINNING over everything else. 31-5-6 while leading one of the youngest squads to being far and away the best team in the west & Arguably THE best team in the league right now IMO is just undeniable. Unless the Nuggets can catch up to OKC's record like they did last year, I really don't see how Shai doesn't win, Especially if he keeps up this current pace. Above all else tho, It's looking like Shai & OKC have there sights on bigger things this season, I think they have a SERIOUS chance at making the finals tbh. This team is DANGEROUS.
It aint really matter because nuggets 2023 wasnt that of a big name players but consistent role players and jokic elevating them.its not about past reputation but how things are getting done.there are teams where big name players are lacking but have great chemistry and confidence and having sucess.okc team already did this last year.now they already prove their potential because of last season.imo the level of team is also should take into consideration because those players who ain't got any help will really be underwhelmed.because they cant do anything.
Shai is brutal player, but he has brutal teammates, like 9 of them. Jokic plays without all-star, every year GM trying to f u p Joker with terrible trades...and Jokic still makes his team better. When he is on, Denver is No1 team in NBA. I think that Den will reach no2 position in WC, with Joker stateliness Shai can't compete
SGA gets called a free throw merchant, but there are clearly 4 fouls on made shots that weren't called just in these highlights. 0:32 Ant clearly holding shooting arm; 0:38 NAW clearly hits SGA on hip; 1:07 McDaniels clearly hits SGA's left arm on the shot; 2:15 Randle clearly hits SGA on the arm and steps on his foot, clearly in his landing space. This is every game, SGA is just fouled constantly.
He is a foul merchant. Because there’s some missed calls doesn’t mean hes not looking for contact and wants the free throw line. Great player but he’s still a foul merchant. Like Hardens prime and current Embiid. Great players but love drawing fouls
@@MoistMannthere’s a difference between looking for contact to score vs looking for contact for a foul. Like harden back in the day, he was always looking for a foul, not even trying to make a basket. Sga is looking for a basket every time. Plus, he for years has led the league in drives per game. Of course he’s going to get fouled if he is constantly putting pressure on the defense. If you can’t understand that logic then idk what else to tell you.
He works in the paint. He’s going to get fouled. Calling him a merchant and then complaining about all the 3 pointers everyone’s taking is crazy. Make up your minds. You idiots don’t know what you want, just complaining for the sake of complaining.
@@guarrafet Exceptional too while holding the 5th best record in your conference, like 10th overall league wide, with 8 more losses, shouldn't earn a player a serious debate for the top spot.
@@tylawsonisraw Subjective voting on awards doesn't equal objective quality. SGA has been proving more this season. But, don't grt ahead of yourself. Jokic has never beaten a 50 win team in a regular playoff series in his 10 yesr career. They only won the title because they lucked up and played the worst competition in the history of the 82 game era of hoops, with not one elite, 50-win opponent. They played nothing but 40 win teams whrre the highest win total was 45 wins and the lowest was 41 , which is sub .500, for an average opponent win total of about 43 games, not even 2 games over .500. He also hasn't led his team to 60 wins once, despite other great bigs and players lesding their teams to 60 eins with equivalent talent. Yet, folks swear his impact is next level somehow. And 2 of Jokic's MVP's, 2021 and 2024, came in seasons where Embiid was far and away the best player and leading the MVP race by a wide margin until injuries half way through the season knocked him off course. He's been most valuable player two out of his three times, solely becaud the actual best player that year got hurt. The idea that he is on other level from the rest of the league is overtly bogus. He's greatz sure. He's top 5 easily, maybe top 3. But the voters prefer to select him over others because he looks like them. And that's with Jokic having an extra 3 or 4 years to his career. All that said, SGA should be leading the race.
@ Jokic got lucky holding the 1st seed since December when he won the finals? lol nice essay bro. Nobody reading that shit. Even KD put Jokic in the Top 10. Shai did a good job leading the thunder to all those lottery picks. Never had jokic lead the nuggets to a lottery pick.
The second guy behind him dropped 15, to show you the sheer difference in this guy’s quality, he wills his team to the win and plays both ends at an elite level. If that’s not what MVP is idk what it is, people gotta stop falling in love with triple doubles there’s a lot of intangibles in play
It's not just triple doubles with guys like Jokic, it's the mid team he is leading Same with Russ in 2017, that's why he deserved MVP I am fine with Shai winning MVP but y'all just show why you aren't voters with comments like these
@ nah bro jokic is a Center no where to be found on all nba defensive teams not even 3rd team, part of his role is to be a defensive anchor for his team, and there’s more expected from him on that end which he doesn’t fulfill. Offensive is great but another aspect not mentioned is how players move off ball, just look at Shai’s movement you’ll understand, despite being a point guard he does a lot to attract the defense and free himself up and his teammates, he doesn’t always get the assist cuz he’s not holding the ball 75% of the time like jokic and Luka. Luka is a worse on this end, jokic is a bit better but he has to understand that even if he’s a great passer sometimes their offense stagnates cuz they have him running too many plays. Denver has mature players and there’s no excuse for this, okc has half their guys barely 3 years in the league and they seem like they are all good when in reality it’s a domino effect that starts with the SGA and the coaching. Most of the guys on the thunder don’t even avg consistently good numbers on offense besides SGA. Last year their second leading scorer only averaged 17, while Shai was at 30+
Those days are over my friend.the importance of defence has decreased drastically and now it all about staggering numbers and all.joker lead in points rebounds assists over shai.no all star only one but 36 year old russ.top 5 seed in west.top 10 in steals .only downfall was loss against wizards even there scored career high 56.last game 2 triple double in single team.@@CaptainSurfy

That is just unfair man, then you have franchises like the knicks who are in the biggest market and most valuable yet can never dream of that lol
Impossible to guard. The fluid changes of speed, deflection, and the hesitations are killing defenders. They look lost in front of him. SGA is sneaky great; there’s no way a defense can evolve to match his type of offense.
They are a great team defensively with excellent defensive rotations and move the ball really well on offense however, they need another shot creator outside of Shai and J. Dubb. They eventually will get Holmgren back.
96 era mj !! When people say jordan cant play in today's leagye shai is evidence he could they have the same frame 6'6 195-200lbs both are midrange snipers. Shai is that guy!!
SGA isn’t flashy or anything he’s just lanky and very fundamentally sound with a bit of athleticism. All this makes him the perfect player. He’s almost like a Kawhi/ Pippen
Hear me out. Sga is like a 6’6” kyrie. He’s not flashy with his handles or layup package. However, the ball is on a string, he’s crafty, has a counter for anything you throw at him, and can finish with either hand. Just like kyrie, there’s nothing you can do with him.

If he had even just 80% of Prime MJs athleticism hed be truly an unstoppable force. He has to be more methodical and paced rather than being able to explode off the dribble.
They only market extremely gifted athletes, not skilled ones. He isn't jumping out of the gym like a Kobe or LeBron and he isn't throwing up threes at a high level like Curry. The NBA only showcases out of this world talent and SGA is clearly holding back to prolong his career. I respect it though.
fr 💯 less of a risktaker than Kobe but just as scoring-prone as the Mamba. Can break down any defense sent to him like his idol KB. Though id say Kobe much better fadeaway game
@@bronzebacksnatcher5163 Besides his 3 being spotty, SGA has a better scoring package than Ant. Ant is more athletic and can yam on the rim, but SGA is a better finisher overall

they won a series 4-0 and kept up with the western conf. champs in a very close series WHILE being the youngest team in the league, we'll see who really dissapears come playoff time
Kobe played with Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Slava Medvendenko, and Tonny Bobbit. His teammates were below average NBA players at his apex. So much so that they had the 3rd worst offensive rating in NBA history in 2006 when Kobe was off the court. He was always a good playmaker Phil Jackson called Kobe the best playmaker he ever coached.

To be fair, he also had some off nights
Against the Bucks for example
But that happens to everyone
Give him MVP man
I know that jokic is a demon but it's either Sga or giannis for mvp in my opinion. They're 2 way dominance is ridiculous. Disappointed in ant 🤦
Thanks for saying this because everyone forgets about defense
Saying either Giannis or SGA acting like Jokic is not up there is just crazy
By y'all logic Curry should have never won MVP because ,,oh he was never great on defense"
@@RealMrSmile I literally just said jokic is a demon. Yo ass can't read bro
@RealMrSmile Basketball is a two way sport not only offense. If there is a player playing both ends of the floor on a high level they should always be considered for MVP. Do you know how hard it is to play elite defense and offense simultaneously?
@@kingmoreorless2810
So by your logic
Harden, KD, Curry, D-Rose, Nash, Iverson and Magic all shouldn't have gotten their MVP's?
Aight buddy
Value isn't defined a certain way, you can be valuable in many different ways
my MVP right there doing SHAI things!
OKC is about to crown their third MVP in the last 11 years. This regime of the franchise has only been around 16 years. Not to mention they drafted another MVP in James Harden. That is just unfair man, then you have franchises like the knicks who are in the biggest market and most valuable yet can never dream of that lol
2:27 anyone who says the game is boring show them this man right here omg
MVP to be honest
I always pray for him
He is so good
I pray he wins the mvp and the championship
All praise to OKC for building the perfect team around Shai. He’s got sharpshooters, defenders, okc is the full package
MVP 🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️
Impossible to guard. The fluid changes of speed, deflection, and the hesitations are killing defenders. They look lost in front of him. SGA is sneaky great; there’s no way a defense can evolve to match his type of offense.
Yea SGA is balling and he is MVP but yall need to stop watching the stat lines and watch the games. OKC Collectively is a great team
They are a great team defensively with excellent defensive rotations and move the ball really well on offense however, they need another shot creator outside of Shai and J. Dubb. They eventually will get Holmgren back.
MVP 🫡
Shai keeps playing like this then hand him the MVP
SGA and Thunder have been free legs in almost all of my parlays lmao. So consistently great
SGA is the greatest offensive player in the league
Hes too chill playing. Solid fundamentals! MVP for sure.
THE GOAT
Can't believe clippers gave up SGA and all the first rounds for a guy that does podcast.
MVP favorite so far, although close tie with Jokic but team record plays in his favor.
This team covers spreads!!! ALL THE TIME!!!
Way better than ANT. SGA is Jordan's son. His game is more MJ while ANT is Dwade.
96 era mj !! When people say jordan cant play in today's leagye shai is evidence he could they have the same frame 6'6 195-200lbs both are midrange snipers. Shai is that guy!!
He's not way better than ant knock it off once wolves get rid of Randle ant will dominate once again
SGA does not play like mj. Lmfaoooo
@@FloydWhoElseTV not in style but efficiency and the fact that he makes it look easy
His pace is so crazy
SGA isn’t flashy or anything he’s just lanky and very fundamentally sound with a bit of athleticism. All this makes him the perfect player. He’s almost like a Kawhi/ Pippen
Hear me out. Sga is like a 6’6” kyrie. He’s not flashy with his handles or layup package. However, the ball is on a string, he’s crafty, has a counter for anything you throw at him, and can finish with either hand. Just like kyrie, there’s nothing you can do with him.
His basketball inspiration was Kobe Bryant who was also Kyrie's idol.
Its crazy that the Clippers got rid of SGA for Paul George and Paul is not even with the Clippers anymore or himself and SGA is probably the best guard in the NBA. I am not saying he is Michael Jordan but me comparing him, has an old school man who watched MJ, SGA does not have athleticism that MJ has but he still dominates the scoring and defense very similar. SGA’s numbers so far this season: Averages: PPG 31.3, RPG 5.5, APG 6.0, SPG 2.0, BPG 1.2, in only 34.5 minutes a game. Shooting: FG% .528, 2P% .601, 3P% .350, FT% .878 at 26 years old versus MJs at the same age: Averages: PPG 33.6, RPG 6.9, APG 6.3, SPG 2.8, BPG 0.7, in 39.0 minutes a game. Shooting: FG% .526, 2P% .548, 3P% .376, FT% .848. If SGA with the same numbers but averaging MJ’s 39.0 minutes a game his averages would look like this: PPG 35.4, RPG 6.2, APG 6.8, SPG 2.3, BPG 1.4. Those are incredible numbers for SGA without counting the best record in the though west. He definitely plays like MJ’s era instead of todays 3-point era.
You can't compare eras due to rules.
@@koolkai4299 you correct, but there numbers speak for themselves
If he had even just 80% of Prime MJs athleticism hed be truly an unstoppable force. He has to be more methodical and paced rather than being able to explode off the dribble.
MVP. He needs to be marketed better.
They only market extremely gifted athletes, not skilled ones. He isn't jumping out of the gym like a Kobe or LeBron and he isn't throwing up threes at a high level like Curry. The NBA only showcases out of this world talent and SGA is clearly holding back to prolong his career. I respect it though.
MVP
SGA about to earn 80 Mil a year soon 😅
MVP!!! Best two way player in the league
0:26 imagine jordan with the lane this wide open lol
Modern day Kobe!🔥🔥🔥
he picks his spots so well omg
SGA has release the GOAT inside😅😅..back to the 90's fade away shot...
I said it a couple years ago call me crazy but SGA is a more efficient Kobe Bryant
fr 💯 less of a risktaker than Kobe but just as scoring-prone as the Mamba. Can break down any defense sent to him like his idol KB. Though id say Kobe much better fadeaway game
Dam no one can guard him..
I'll say it... Anybody getting MJ vibes... Sooner or later it happens
I can’t believe some people GENUINELY thought Ant was better because he says “cool” things LMAOO
I think ant could and will be better at some point, also more flashy and talented with how many ways he can score. Shai is great though
@@bronzebacksnatcher5163 Besides his 3 being spotty, SGA has a better scoring package than Ant. Ant is more athletic and can yam on the rim, but SGA is a better finisher overall
Anthony Edward’s barley guarded him, Remember days when the top players took it personal, Nobody was dropping was 40 on Kobe and Mike, Maybe a center who they didn’t guard
1:40 bro that bum Gobert guarding his own teammate. wtf is that defense from 4x dpoy
As a ja morant fan this is the clear mvp
I love the way he do jump shot mid range. Very jordan-ish...
SGA MVP BEFORE LUKA. OMGGGG WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT THIS 5 YEARS AGO.
5.Tatum
4.Wembanyama
3.Giannis
2.Jokic
1.SGA 🔥
Coc is a hell of a drug
@RealMrSmile 😘
hes amazing like howdy you get 40 points
Jokic is still gonna be 1 in mvp ranking. I hate the voters so much.
Top 3 player in the nba
Kobe would be proud!
Not even half the season played, no need for MVP talk. SGA playing amazing as always though!
MVP 🏆
MVP!
At least the clippers got Paul George
One word for him IYKYK: Silky
yeah
I’ll never forgive you Balmer. We had HIM!
Anthony Edwards😂 You should have been the best rival agains Luka and Shai, but you chooses to get the bag and dont give a damn about the game. I see him gone in the NBA after three years😂
MVP shai.. 😍💪💪💪💪
SGA is actually a genius it’s disgusting
mvp
OKC LOOKS #1 LAST YEAR TOO BUT THEY DISAPPEAR IN PLAYOFFS. DONT GET FOOLED BOYS
they won a series 4-0 and kept up with the western conf. champs in a very close series WHILE being the youngest team in the league, we'll see who really dissapears come playoff time
this is what young kobe would do to this nba reincarnated as SGA. He utlizes the mid range that nobody guards lol. SGAMVP
I remember what sga did to my wizards bum Carrington don't worry I hope we get Cooper flagg so we can give sga a taste of his own medicine.
Holy crap why is shai playing so aggressive this game
Was this game on league pass?
unanimous MVP
Coldest mf in the league and makes it look easy MVP
Minnesota is going to the western conference finals
His game reminds me so much of Kobe’s game, he’s just a little bit better at involving his teammates.
Kobe played with Kwame Brown, Smush Parker, Chris Mihm, Slava Medvendenko, and Tonny Bobbit. His teammates were below average NBA players at his apex. So much so that they had the 3rd worst offensive rating in NBA history in 2006 when Kobe was off the court. He was always a good playmaker Phil Jackson called Kobe the best playmaker he ever coached.
He doesn't trash wowwwww
put a like you like Israel handstand with them
