Dude makes everything look soo effortless. Kinda a change of pace for alot of Thunder fans who were used to having a guard like Russ who managed to make everything look so difficult lol I'll always love the Westbrook era but man Shai is absolutely making a name for himself, Dude gotta be the smoothest player in the league. Def top 3 MVP atm.
yeah it's crazy to see the franchise point guard go from bull in a china shop, all gas no brakes Russell Westbrook to the most deliberate and controlled star guard in the league rn. Russ is an all-time great but I think that Shai's efficiency and willingness to operate in the flow of the offense is gonna translate to more wins. Assuming no injury (knock on wood) he's gonna be a legend when his career is over.
LUKA IS LEVELS ABOVE HIM. BUT BC HE IS WHITE DOESNT GET CRED
@@jahcode6132either way his game doesn’t rely on a whole lot of athleticism so even if he does get injured (knock on wood) it won’t hurt his career as much as someone like d rose (or ja,Westbrook,etc)
I agree. When saying assuming no injury I meant something bad or repeatedly happening enough to jeopardize his career. Basically, I just meant to say that if he isn't a HOFer by the end of his career it won't be because he wasn't good enough.@@sneakrzzz8669
@jahcode6132 “Bull in a China Shop” 😂😂😂
Was only a matter of time before Shai started getting real national attention
He’s a baller fasho
Shut your mouth. Luka had an WAAY better December and led his team without 2 of their biggest players. This is bias and borderline racist
@@jasoncruzookc number 2 in the west dallas is 7th don’t try and bring race into it that is so fucking dumb
@@jasoncruzo I’m white
Shut up Kendrick perkins@@jasoncruzo
This might sound crazy, but he really reminds me of Jordan during the 2nd 3-peat run, a midrange maestro who makes scoring look effortlessly smooth.
both played efficient mid range and post moves as a guard, though shai is less explosive on the drive, but his volume and efficiency make up for it.
He is extremely similar to Jordan.
His closest comps according to Blended NBA Reference are Kobe, Jordan, and Brandon Roy
Mj was never a midrange maestro
Here we go,finally a player that actually seems like mj because of his play on the court and not just because he’s dark skinned and people love his personality: Anthony , Jimmy etc.
Not crazy at all. I've been saying for years he's got that MJ, Kobe midrange game.
Shai has the potential to be the MVP this season.
He wasnt the best player this month...nba just wants to sell it like they have more stars..
@@onlyfacts3178all you have to do is watch ball bro. Not that hard to tell he’s a superstar. Look at the stats

LUKA this month:
37,5 PPG / 11,1 ASS / 9 REB / 1 BLK / 1,5 STL ( 8 games of 13 over 38 points )
SHAI this month:
31,9 PPG / 6,6 ASS / 5,4 REB / 0,7 / 3,1 STL
So you were saying 🤣🤣🤣
MY FAVORITE MOVES
0:52 jab step cross, pound dribble, spin move into the lay

8:47 in-n-out into the middy on a fast break
Shai is a master technician
@@Ihtamubna I agree
SGA is one of the best players of this generation,moves,ball handling and shooting ability he's got it all
Shai gotta be the sauciest guy I seen. Bro plays at his pace all game & has crazy footwork. Bro is HIM 😂🔥
HAS NOTHING ON LUKA. FACTS
@@jasoncruzo CRY ABOUT IT. HIS STATS WERE WAY BETTER IN THE SERIES BUDDY
He’s so tuff!! The footwork,
poise, even-keel demeanor whiles making it look effortless and having a winning mentality too is a complete package.
Shai is HIM for real. 💯
This guy is super super nice. Love his game. SGA
This may be premature but the Thunder seriously have a chance at winning at least 1 title in the next 5 years if not 2 or 3.. the way SGA plays I don’t see him declining much from age 25 to 35 if anything he’ll get better at shooting 3s and be even more unstoppable.
So if in 10 years SGA doesn’t have a decline I think his numbers and accomplishments will have him somewhere in the top 25 of all time.
Lol He has to want to stay in OKC.
@@Papiup18 you would think but superstar athletes usually like living superstar lives which is why small market cities like Oklahoma City usually have to draft stars or trade for them , it’s very rare they get them in free agency, and the stars they do get are usually ready to leave the moment things aren’t perfect.
I don’t SGA has a superstar diva personality like that but often you don’t find out til later.
Shai getting every teams best defender every game and still leaving the drive through with a 30 nugget and fry
literally!
SGA is clutch
Lukas stats for December - 38p 9r 11a ( should be WC player of the month)
Seriously this is ridiculous
Add to that his 73 pt.game and many triple doubles.
My favorite player ever 🐐🐐🐐
Sometimes when I watch him play, can’t tell if it’s #2 out there or #23
Im a Warriors fan but I love watching his game.
I love this man
I would’ve thought Jokic Bron or Luka but now that I think bout it Shai deserves it he is like that
Jokic didn’t have a great month, Luka didn’t have quite good enough of a month, and lebron isn’t even remotely close ever
@@ryanamburgy2791 saying Lebron isn't remotely close is stupid
@@ryanamburgy2791 Ik Lebron isn’t close but the nba loves lebron
@@BIuezy he’s nowhere near the best player in the west rn, he’s like #7 or #8
SGA dominates on offense and defense.
SGA ⚡
Well deserved 🔥💯
LUKA this month:
37,5 PPG / 11,1 ASS / 9 REB / 1 BLK / 1,5 STL ( 8 games of 13 over 38 points )
SHAI this month:
31,9 PPG / 6,6 ASS / 5,4 REB / 0,7 / 3,1 STL
And then comes Kawhi with 61.3/50/95.3 shooting percentages, winning every game he played in December.
61.3 fkn %, about the same as Embiid and Giannis - now that is a truly historical performance and he aint even in the top 10 MVP race.
@@arguseyed9982 YES K.LEONARD stats were amazing that month but his only problem that month was that he missed 4 straight games..YOU CANT win PLAYER of the MONTH when you miss 4 straight games in a 11 games.
MVP🎉🎉🎉
I think he or Chet could be dominant. More so then because they are humble as hell. They don’t care bout attention like other stars
Shai already is dominant lmao
MVP🔥⚡️
He’s the best guard in the league right now.
Exactly
Followed closely by Halliburton
I thought Luka was a guard no?
@@Hacim1234luka not the best . Top 3 guard for sure . SGA got his team #2 in the west Top 4 in the NBA. No other guard impacting what Shai been doing .
@@KiarRushingLuka has a bad team
The Thunders are the real deal. I wonder how they will perform in the playoffs?
They so young honestly and NBA history showed us you somehow pay a price at your first real run. But I hope it won't happen this time.
@@leonardofabbri7930The youngest team, which were in the 70s, won a championship at the average age of 24. OKC can do it. They are just getting better
Like crap. They are on a lucky streak. Plus Luka is levels better than this guy and had an historic never before done December with 2 of their top 3 players out. Luka is white and nba hates white players. Luka is better offensively than Jordan but no let's don't talk about that.
@@jasoncruzo Shut up, idiot
@@jasoncruzo Stop, while your ahead💀💀
Fearless finishing badge and giant slayer on purple. Middy on purple. Glove on purple 😂😂
If I saw only his silhouette on the court, I could identify that it's Shai. No one else moves the way he moves in the league
Hes a quicker paul george size smoothness , grace , only thing is he shoots a ton of mid range shots and PG shoots a ton of 3s , hes a absolute dawg , and possibly the best PG in basketball right now today
Luka Doncic 37,5 pts, 8,9 jumps , 11,1 asist Gilgeous-Alexander 31,9 pts, 5,4 jumps, 6,6 asist
doesnt fit their AGENDA...NBA wants to sell more players.. LUKA also had 8 games over 38 points..

Just goes to show, you can be an MVP and shoot 29 percent from 3.
Top 5 Player in the League And as Guards him and Luka are on a Island of their own
Shai is George Gervin 2.0. Nobody has a left-handed finger roll. Nobody in the league has that. Except for Shai. He is the anti-dunking superstar from the 70s.
UNDERRATED
I came for basketball highlights and all i see is a man COOKING ! 🗣️🔥
Most underrated skill? His intelligence. His IQ is exceptional
SGA too nice. Game is silky smooth
The Thunder is a fun team to watch right now
So FUCKing Smooth !! Efficient , good shot taking , he gonna be the greatest thunder player.
Not like Westbrick , out of control, low iQ and turnovers during Curial moment X can only dunks
Shai Jordan Alexander the great
0:04 tre mann was hype asf😂
With these highlights, he may be the best in the league rn
Highlights don’t even do him justice. He is top 3 in the world easily right now
少し前まではTOP10に相応しくないと話題になったが、確かにその通りだった
間違いなくTOP5の選手だ
Congrats🎉
first i saw this SGA play i already know he is a monster , his changing of his speed is incredible
Dude is smooth and elusive with the ball. What’s a fair comp for him? Dare I say a lanky AI? Defenders can’t stay in front of him!
I like that comp. There's some DeRozan to his game on offense, also.
Shai's better than both of those guys on defense, though!
He's more efficient, too. That's when you start getting the Jordan comps.
Though, I think Jordan was a little more of a forward, and Shai's a little more of a guard.
Jordan had those big hands and crazy vertical, but Shai's about as quick and shifty as anyone.
Obviously, Shai's got to win more to really put himself on that level in terms of career achievements.
The comp is Jordan. People hate to say it but he really is his closest comp
@@duffal0 no way! Don’t put that on any player. He’s real good - but he ain’t MJ. Allen Iverson is a realistic comp.
@@duffal0and Kobe.
Player of the month and yet he’s still going to be an all star backup 😭
Nope...he'll be a starter. Mark my words. 💪🙏

If he had more leaping ability would be more entertaining to watch he doesnt take many dunks his most deadly weapon is his layup and turnarounds midrange

Okc really repeating history
This time, they are keeping there big 3🔥⚡️
Top 5
His game is a mix of Brandon Roy and Paul George. So smooth
SGA play like dwade
THIS IS ROBERY LUKA HAD A HISTORIC DECEMBER AND LED HISBTEAM WITHOUT LIVELY AND IRVING. NBA IS BIAS
His body style, the way he moves, and anticipates his opponent’s foot placement. REMINDS ME OF MICHAEL!! I see this dude play in person at least four times per season. As I’m from here in okc, trust me, he’s the first dude I’ve seen have the same instinct to time his steps in the same manner that air Jordan used to. He might not be all the other things that Michael was. But the craftiness with the ball and his ability to manipulate the opponents foot placement in order to explode pass them at the right time is very reminiscent of the way the GOAT used to do it. MICHAEL would be an MVP, and multiple title winner in today’s game. But he would definitely need more talent around him to do it.
MVP. Him or Luka.
Embiid
SGA💯
SGA or Luka deserved to win. Centers like Jokic and Embiid are just gonna have better stats because they can easily body there way to the paint to score and have easy rebounds.
Two that look like they're not that good, but are pretty much the best right now. Gilgeous and Halliburton.
Shai moves like jordan what a talent
I disagree, he plays @ his own pace, like slow motion with crazy midrange. HE just tall enough to get off any shot. He knew Gobert was gonna try & throw his chyte, but he went up under him like old school Kevin McHale. 😄
I agree, he moves like Jordan and Kobe. Shai Jordan-Bryant⚡️
Never liked this dude but he’s cold asf . Now that his team is winning he’ll be perennial all nba first team and maybe nba
teams dont doubled him cause his only weapon is midrange and layups look what happen when dallas doubled him he only got 15 pts lets see when it comes to play offs when they double him i hope he know what to do like luka and lebron
15 min highlight video only for the month of December
Luka was robbed, there really is an agenda against him in the NBA itself apparently.
Yeah, sucks to not get your way. Who the hell cares who gets player of the month anyway? I’m a Thunder fan and I couldn’t give a crap that we got the player of the month and the rookie of the month on our team. I mean, it IS nice to be recognized and all. I wouldn’t say I don’t care so much as it doesn’t make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Although, when I go to bed tonight I’ll probably get a warm, fuzzy feeling before nodding off to sleep and feeling thankful that every other NBA fan thinks the world hates them. So yeah, this is a really important award for insecure types, I guess.
@@ErroneousMonk1couldn’t have said it better myself
Shai a better leader and he's ultra efficient , Luka and Shai neck to neck but Shai guards ppl , that's a big difference and they both damn near the same size Luka a bull and Shai a panther
@@Richforevrrdude stop lmao
AND THIS is why LUKA will never win a MVP...2 seasons ago they even put BOOKER ahead of him.
LILLARD was 4th in the play.offs and CURRY 9th but NBA MEDIA was saying that LUKA didnt deserve the all-start spot because he was 5th.
ONE day before the all-star LUKA is 4th CURRY 9th SEED and LILLARD 5th seed and they argument all of a sudden CHANGED.
Luka won many Championships and MVP awards in Europe before coming to the NBA.He has been selected to a starting position in the NBA all star game in every year he has played. All this and he is only 24.You have no rebuttle.
So SGA done went and got the same drugs as that center in Denver. Everybody cant catch up to your slowness. Too easy and textbook, kills these mofos everytime.
the best guard in the nba rn dont @ me. he'll retire with more rings than Luka.
LUKA has a wall full of Basketball Awards Championships,MVP's and records.He's a 5 time All-Star guard starter and is only 24.Shai is way behind.
He gets wherever he wants on the court no matter who’s guarding him. It’s just a matter of him making or missing the shot
luka ?

It WAS a back-to-back home/away and they had just expended a lot of energy beating some really good teams over the past few weeks. This was the game I expected them to lose over the next few. We’ll see how he responds.

What? Say that again while looking at Shai defensive numbers compared to Luka💀
Shai doesn’t take plays off. He competes every play on both ends. He’s been the heart and soul of OKC and is THE reason they’re in the playoff race. But I agree, Dallas is a really crappy team compared to OKC.

@@onlyfacts3178 This month??? It’s Jan 5! If you’re talking about December, Dallas went 8-8. OKC went 10-3. That makes a difference. If you’ve never noticed that, watch the player of the week awards every week. They pick players whose teams are undefeated that week or maybe only 1 loss.
But who really cares, anyway? It’s just a subjective award. Why are people getting worked up over it? The only thing that matters is win/loss.
Can someone explain to me why this 7:06 isn't a travel? Not toxic or anything just wanna learn
