As a depressed okc fan I’m hoping for a fresh new start with Alexander being are franchise player
I feel your pain I'm a thunder fan and looking forward to the future
Derrick Jackson Jr same
@@pob-4810 watch ur own team idiot
poboy fresh the spurs are a boring shitty ass team that nobody watches anymore
@@pob-4810 that was so rude and toxic of you to say. stop trying to be funny by calling people retarded.
He’s the definition of determination. Watch him play 1 full game and notice how there’s not one time he slows down. Watched every game he played at UK and I knew then he’d make himself into a great NBA player by his desire alone yet add his athleticism & he’s a true combo guard. I’m glad to see him in OKC now because he’ll get a lot more than the 26 mpg he got in his rookie season especially with Diallo being his backup.
I watched him play in highschool in person when he was not ranked that high, but he had like 30 pts, from then on I knew he would be good
He a underrated rookie in my opinion.
Damn bro you called it
Real hoop fans know that sga is gonna be a god ‼️💯 been saying it since he was at Kentucky
He don’t have more potential then his draft class.
Black Jesus definitely not
D.J. Morris don’t sleep on Nickeil now, Shai is better at this moment but Nickeil isn’t a scrub
Denny Cascade I know he isn’t but shai is better
Black Jesus based on summer league? Or college? Come on now I love NAW but Shai dropped 25 on Draymond Greens head in the playoffs
This guy is buttery smooth
This guy always turns into a stud in myleague. Love his dribble package especially his hesi and with his length he blows by people so easy.
I was with the Buffalo Bulls in Boise at the NCAA tournament when we played Kentucky in the round of 32. Boy did he do us dirty. We couldn’t stop him at all. Great player and I hope he has a nice career.
I doubt it. I searched buffalo bulls and your name and nothing came up..
Joshua White lmao ok but like I was with the pep band soooo
@@jacklow7450 ya man I could tell..I was starting left linebacker for Kentucky. The guys would roast me if they know I was talking to a drummer boy from buffalo.
Joshua White people would roast me too if I had to stoop down to your level
He looks like he can do a bit of everything, can't wait to see how he develops!
Man this title was right on so many levels!!!!
what frank ntilikina should of been
Thinking the same thing
Yea if you minus a lot of scoring ability.
I was about to say the same thing ! But New York was clearly not the best place for him to improve. Hope he finds a team and a coach who'll trust him and give him time to learn. As another frenchman example, this is what Fournier got when he was traded from Denver to Orlando.
@MYR Official nn Yeah but the Knicks keep adding PG on the squad since he's been drafted, I think it's over for him unless he goes somewhere else...
Keevon Jones We never even planned on trading for DSJ it so happened that KP wanted to leave and so happened that Dallas was that team.
As a clippers fan the day okc got sga was highway robbery and its finest smh🤦🏽♂️
SGA was still in development. Clippers wanted to win right away.
It was a good trade at the time. SGA needed some time being the #1 option to really break out like he has now, though.
I’ve been a huge clippers fan since 2004...Sucks trading Shai, he’s going to be a franchise player in OKC
The cap on this app
@@WatchingLakersBasketball that's not cap bra
@@KM-bu1js hella cap breh CLIPPER fans DO NOT EXIST in LA. Those are seat fillers, ticket giveaways & I can't afford Laker games so let me show up to a game with a jersey on
@@WatchingLakersBasketball oh you meant the clipper part i thought you were talking about shai
@@WatchingLakersBasketball wrong on both we been here
As a clipper fan, I’m gonna miss him a lot. OKC getting a potential superstar.
U were right lol
Man this trade gets better every year for OKC
this dudes future is bright. He learned defense from pat Beverley and now gonna learn from cp3
Expect his shooting & play-making to improve significantly this year. He’ll be _really_ dangerous if he develops a solid mid-range game...
@@robertweekes5783 he already has a nice step-back midrange pull up.
He mainly needs to get a but stronger and get a pull up 3 into his game.
@@samfreeman1974 He'll have a lot of work to do on his jumper, as you can see here he's almostnot jumping when he shoots from downtown. He's a fast learner and hard worker though, I'm not worried for him.
Use to go to ball runs and play with this guy as a kid, always knew he had potential, best of luck shai in this upcoming season, hamilton rootin for ya!
His defense is amazing.
Yup
As a thunder fan thank you clippers
OKC fans, you got a great young player to build around. Really doesn't have any glaring holes in his game already (crafty finisher, good 3-pt shooter, good mid-range, good defense). His poise in big moments is rare in a rookie as well. This dude is going to be really, really good. I'm a Clips fan and I'm bummed we gave him up but OKC is going to love him.
Aged like 🍷
@@branttrujillo17 Bro, I'm still mad we traded him. Love PG but this dude is the truth. And at the risk of patting myself on the back too hard I saw this coming. Even as a rookie when he was a 4th option you could just see it in his game. The eye test did not lie.
Kyle Anderson was suppose to be this for the Spurs😢
Kyle Anderson is too slow and is not athletic enough.....

Imagine if he would’ve stayed in LA
Retire that #2 don't get better than that for the clippers
lakers havent done anything for atleast a decade... for each day passing their kingdom looks more and more overrun... i do know they have some caves that are impossible to take over but who the hell want to spend their whole life in a cave..?
truth is that golden state was walking all over lakers kingdom, pounding them on a daily basis and lakers was just taking it...
it wasnt until kawhi stepped up that golden state fell...
0:57 i love how beverly see him like his son xd
Future goat
his lock down defense and never giving up on plays remember the name
If he developes a better jump shot (which I think he will) then he’ll be a stud in a few years
he definitely will with CP around
VIV well, cp is a great mentor I wouldn’t overlook that
IQ CRAZY, AND HE PLAYS SO UNDER-CONTROL. Real killer.
As an okc fan we got a steal and with all these draft picks we’re gonna have something special
Beast
The kind of kid you want in your team. He's probably never going to be a star but he will be among the supporting cast needed in contenders teams. He still has a lot to improve including better choices in passing, a better midrange could make him very strong and if he adds good 3 pts percentages, it's gonna be a rare and complete PG. It was a pleasure seeing him play with confidence this season, he's a listening, hard worker and I hope he finds a great structure to pursue his improvement in OKC.
LuchoGonzealaise yeah, he will be a very solid player but don’t see him getting more than 20ppg tbf
@@drykianwell you aren’t very good at predicting are you 😭😭😭
Watching this makes me a little happier about our thunders future
Funny, Shai almost seems like the Anti-Westbrook. Smart, controlled game with good shooting and a team-first mentality. I'm looking forward to seeing a point guard playing defense again.
Joseph Duncan Aye bro don’t slander Westbrook’s defense, can’t play defense every possession and be as elite as he is on offense all the time.
@@jetlyfejordan Yeah I guess that is a decent point but I would say his defense issues really come down to poor decision making and just a lack of defensive awareness more so than a lack of effort.
He reminds me a bit Jordan as a rookie. Jordan had stronger legs, but he has more height. Still, very similar body type.
I'm just going to speak for all Clipper fans when I say this, but we're all sad that we lost him. This guy takes it to the rack against Tier 1 Superstars like it's nothing..This guy is a STUD. He is what Lonzo was hyped to become. His defense is already a plus and he's a two way monster in the making. Some people like Brandon Ingram are still all "potential" on the defensive end. Shai is gonna learn so much from CP3. Say what you will about CP's ability to win a title, but he's a damn good teacher. Remember, Steph Curry came into the league and lived/practiced with CP3. DJ and Clint Capela got big deals because of how CP sets the table. Austin Rivers, etc. I hope OKC makes the playoffs and proves everyone wrong. I'm a clipper fan, but it's pretty obvious people are sleeping on the small market teams.
Doing Hamilton, ON. proud!!🤟🤟
Anhadh Singh doing all of Canada proud 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Hes been a bucket since kentucky!!
This dude is a 6’7 point guard with a 7ft wingspan! He gonna cause so many problems!
Here after his MVP calliper season just to read some of these goofy comments 😂
love his game!
I hope his determination and work ethic will never change
He better than lonzo. Agree?
I think this is a upgrade from russ for the simple fact he is not going to take those stupid shots when not necessary
REBUILD MODE all because Paul George a back-stabber
Sad that he had to leave the clippers. Hopefully he ends up being an amazing player for the thunder and the center point for the team.
Clippers landed a hof small forward for a bunch of middle schoolers 👀
And those middle schoolers will be great players in the upcoming years. Don't forget that Paul George will retire eventually leaving The thunder with hella draft picks so they have a large chance of drafting some greats
Dont think Gallo is a middle schooler...
Ronnie 2k majority of those will prob be later picks but still could get at least one solid player
@@NavyBluePersonGuy Given how late the picks are, I highly doubt they draft someone of Westbrook's or George's caliber.
Gallo put up 20+ ppg for Clips correct me if I'm wrong with the numbers.
Love his footwork.. 👢👢
Man it's a shame he couldn't come play for Toronto.
He has a wicked stretch layup, and deceptive quickness. Those long arms are dangerous on both ends. I think he’ll break out either this year or next
That crazy layup he scored through Bogut at the end - not a fluke, he did this several times toward the end of the season
13:58 Mike Muscala with the assist of the game!
Kid from Kentucky is good
He reminds me of 2001 Kobe body wise
More like rookie Penny
Are u fucking kidding me 😂
Joel Breh u were born in 2001 idiot
As an okc fan I'm really looking forward to seeing him play for us. He looks like he has crazy potential
aged like wine
@@kadenbasinger3244 indeed. Shai is a beast
@@kadenbasinger3244 sureeee MVP season
and now okc is the 1 seed, mvp this man
Doc has long hated giving his young guys minutes but Shai was so good Doc HAD to play him. Sucks that he had to go in that trade though, he’s def going to be an elite PG in the future
OKC will win 37 - 39 games this season. This kid is probably as good as Jason Tatum in his (Jason's) second season.
They won’t win that many games. More like 28-32. They aren’t a very good team at all.
@@natecruz7114 they are a good team. Not great, but good.
Man, I miss Shai on the Clippers. Wow, what could have been if he stayed. 😢
For Basketball Fans Young and Old.
The Millennial N.B.A. is a timeline playlist of the greatest players of all time.
@t
Ironically he reminds me of a young Ron Harper who also started out with the Clippers
Shaun Livingston too ?
He reminds me of Frank Nitty
Kid got high IQ
Every time he got a dunk it seemed like Harrell was mad/jealous
shai is HIM btw
Can’t call him a stud after an average rookie season. Give him some time before giving him that title. I feel like this video was made to make OKC fans feel better lol
You can see how much upside this kid has?
It worked!
clippers should of talked to kawhi about what a stud hes gonna be. Plus paul george isnt huge upgrade from dario. Plus 5 first rounders ???
15:03 is the best part
Wtf clippers
People counting okc our but they gonna make the playoffs because they gonna have one of the best defenses in the league with SGA ,Roberson,Paul,Adams galo is a great shooter and scorer and Schroeder, Ferguson ,Noel,Muscala,Diallo off the bench
I'm an OKC fan here too! 😊
But realistically, for the past few years OKC has always been one of the most or if not, better defensive teams in the whole entire league for the past few years.
Even like last year: Russell Westbrook & Paul George, they both can steal the ball and not to mention PG13 was a defensive player of the year candidate. Steven Adams, a strong paint defender, Nerlens Noel, a very energetic shot blocker, Jerami Grant, a player who is capable of Help Defense and shotblocking. etc.
2017 OKC (Westbrook's MVP Year) could work too, as Andre Roberson, one of their vital perimeter defender, Victor Oladipo, who ha some scouts even think of him as a Tony Allen type of player, he's also a player who to easily strip the ball away.
I just wanted to share my own opinions and thought about this, feel free to correct my mistakes
Oh mkay I read your comment wrong. I thought you were saying they were going to contend in the playoffs, sorry. My mistake 😂
But yeah, I agree. I believe we could sneak in around the 8th seed.
If Jerry West is Thanos, then SGA is Gamora...
This guy could be the next magic johnson. You heard it here first
calm the fuck down bro
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the Rookie...
Unpopular opinion Isaac Bonga is better than SGA
Des Mcmahon your fuckin high
lmao wth
@@rockedoutourrocker9990 Unpopular opinion Alex Caruso is better than LeBron or Ad
Andre Ingram much better than SGA.
@@08TheTakeover Unpopular opinion the raptors are going to win the championship because they have Patrick McCaw
Future Superstar
I always knew he was pretty good but this video shows off his basketball iq like crazy. As in you can tell hes studied his shit
I’m a warriors fan and I would urge all warriors fans to egg this trade of d-Angelo and some picks for this dude he is the truth and the next superstar he has no weakness except maybe his age and experience but as far as anything else dude has got the “IT” factor!!
I wish the raptors could get him...A canadian superstar in the making
lets go shai
we will miss him tons too bad he won’t develop as well without sam cassell
Chris Paul might help him get his shooting down
OKC us the best organization for developing talent period
Young Lute and the worst for keeping it
Okc is in a great situation if I’m being real. They just gotta build around this guy and the sky is the limit. But it’s a win win situation: they either do well with the team they have constructed and make the playoffs or they do poorly and trade core pieces with big contracts for future assets. Sam presti can do no wrong in either
SGA + Gallo + Adams can already do good things next season. Probably not enough to reach playoffs though but more because of the quality of the other teams in the west.
LuchoGonzealaise Will be a lot of fun to watch, better than a Suns or Sixers like tank job.
Yea OKC got 20 something picks, but they are all gunna be ass cuz they will all be late in the first round, or at least most of them
OG Steppenwolf nah instead they gonna get great talent then trade them away like idiots. They had harden westbrook durant ibaka. How tf they lost all of them.
Wow that aged nice 😂 Clippers got honestly nowhere in the pg era and now look at okc
Would’ve been amazing if he somehow stayed with the Clippers
Ummm... that’s nice but nah I’m good bruh go Rockets! 🚀
Kings
Was he a free agent?
He's a rookie. Noway a free agent.
He was traded, with others, to OKC so that the clips could get PG13. OKC getting the better of that deal!!
Was he in roty conversations???
No because he wasn’t a high draft pick and didn’t _really_ shine until the 2nd half of the season. He wasn’t expected to be a good scorer, and surprised everyone. Several commentators said he’s a future All-Star...
What shoes does he play In
kobe ADs, PG 2s, and some older kobes
@@CattySins2435 thank u i think what im lookin for is the kobe ad's
ok
Give it about 3 years he will leave...
Potential* stud
Certified*
He a problemmmmmm
They got rid of 2 studs to do it tho...not great math...lol
Please clarify what you mean
High IQ
future john wall
Nah, better bball iq than Wall and more crafty
Way less athleticism
@@KingDayDayDay00 At this stage of his career, yes, better IQ. As a Wiz fan, I saw John his first 3 years as he had one gear, full-speed coast-to-coast. Took him a while to learn how to slow down and learn the pace of the game, SGA already showing he can go with the flow and change pace when needed.
Less athletic but smarter and better upside.
Hes not good until his 2k rating good
Better than Westbrick
andres de castro stop
these arent so great..
First
Second like
I miss you so much 😭
You are going to be phenomenal for the Thunder!
Let go to get one, lose some to win some. Story of a champion #2

He’s not gonna be a STUD....maybe a Eddie Jones anyone?
bigboner23 L. dude wasn’t even a 5 star recruit and didn’t even start half the season at kentucky but then got the starting job and made himself a lottery pick. he’s just getting started.
Wrong
Bro I think u might be on to something…
