Good win OKC. Too bad they’ll fumble their big 3 like they did the last time.
That's my superstar
Shai goes high again and again.
this is the Clippers biggest Mistake by Letting this Man go away.💪 nice Mr.Alexander.
zions a punk
THE REAL MVP AKA DARKSKIN NIGHTMARE TOP 5 PLAYER BUT YALL NOT READY FOR THAT CONVO
GOAT!
SGA WILL PUT WORLD ON NOTICE WHEN THEY UPSET NUGGETS i expect that cause hes top 5 in my book
Shai 🔥
SGA is on track to be a top 50 player ever or higher. What he’s doing this season at age 24 is crazy he might be better than Luka he’s a top 20-30 defender already Luka is like 200 something that’s the difference and offense SGA is right there. He had a lot of injuries years 3 and 4 and Luka developed faster but looks like SGA caught up or surpassed him now
Smooth moves 🎉
Sga is the real deal and ready to lead his team to a first round challenge against the nuggets .
SGA only scored 1 point more than Giddey, but Giddey way out scored him in every other stat!! Typical!
Smoking that Herb Jones pack
🍁 vibes
Shai reminds me of Jordan. His playstyle.
MVP 🔥
he ball smooth asl calm and collected
Good to see 30+ pts is going off nowadays 😂
Shai g 🔥4th favorite player behind curry Trae young and Paul George
So poised and relaxed in the big moment , never rushed anything even when he wasn’t scoring and let it come to him down the stretch.. shai is BIGTIME !
1:44 king of the spin move
Go SGA
MVp💗💗💗
Definitely First Team
Definition of im HIM calmly
0:44 h1tler
He is the second coming of Westbrook on the the thunder…he's a slasher like him, great playmaker, but unlike Russel, he's a great fucking 3 pt shooter. OKC gonna be dangerous in 2-3 years man and I'm a Nets fan‼️
He's been a Top 10 player all season.
My god, aJordan-esque player. Not in athleticism but in understanding the game.
🔥Awakenbeerus is lord of predictions
Shai's sense of pace, shiftiness, and tight handles are what make him so amazing. His growth over the last few years has been special. I'm glad that he got a chance to shine in a big game-like situation. Good on Dort and Giddey for keeping OKC in the game until Shai could find his rhythm.
HE'S HIM
Bro that crossover between the legs, spin and lay up on Cj at 1:45 is crazy. he did him bad😂. it was kind of good defense but it was just much better offense and cleverness.
Kwahi Pretty Much Demanded Another Star To Play With Him .Shai Was Jerry Wests Player He Traded For Him And Despite Jerry Trying To Convince Kwahi And His Uncle For Him To Play With Shai ,They Weren't Going For It . What A Tremendous Bust Clippers Have To Win This Year Or It Is A Epic Failure And Lesson For Wasting Your Future For Nothing.
His Calmness is so deadly
Zion missed very well on Pelicans
The Oklahoma City Thunder originally tried to tank but ended up making the play-in.
The Dallas Mavericks originally tried to contend but ended up missing the play-in.
The Thunder absolutely have a great future
They have a very young and talented core
SGA absolutely deserve to be a All NBA team
2:30 to 2:37 turning point of the game .
His smoothness comes from, not just his handle, but he is seeing what is going to happen before anyone else does.
