The NBA Superstar is definitely fading away nowadays. Plenty of "good dudes".. but losing your luster of saying "I have to use my hard earned money to go watch this guy"...
Tough to be a superstar in 5 out offenses where everyone shooting threes non stop with insane precision. Mid range basketball is what made the game beautiful, and they’ve completely removed it from the game, which is now played at just 2 levels.

Your post history is something.
Put off a real “yeah I punch my baby mama here and there, what’s the issue?” vibe.

I always smile when the personal attacks start flying.
It’s always someone who lacks the basic intelligence to engage in normal discourse.

Luka should win MVP this season...
I'd put Wemby 2nd in that mix then you can add in whoever after that...
SGA is not doing anything that separates what he is doing for his team that other guys on his team within that system is doing.
The other above names listed (Luka, Wemby) are both doing things for their team that without them impacting the game as they do, it would result in poor outcomes.

What a ridiculous take. OKC's second best player has been injured all season and they still have the best record in the NBA. That's because of Shai.
Over that last four seasons, Shai is averaging 30+ ppg on 50+FG%. The only other player to do that is MJ. No other player in the history of the NBA has done it more than once.
To say that he's not doing anything special is another level of head-in-arse takes. You say he's not doing anything that separates him from other players on the team, when in reality he's doing things that separate him from every other player in history.

Luka is not winning the MVP. He'll probably finish 3rd or 4th. He only plays half of the game and he's never going to win an MVP until he at least tries on the other end of the floor. This post was edited on 4/1/26 at 10:11 am

What an interesting thing to say in a Shai thread. He leads the league in midrange fg%. One of his nicknames is "Master of the midrange." But carry on.

OKC has depth.
Without SGA they are still a 50+ win team.
Its a system, similar to the comments made above... in a league with a 5 out offense they are just going to do what they are going to do.
His biggest impact was helping create the culture and adding to the belief of the system to work.

OKC win shares: 61.8
SAS win shares: 55.1
Removing SGA from OKC: 47.1
Removing Wemby from SAS: 46.2

Leads NBA in Win Shares (by almost a full point over Joker)
Shooting an other worldly 66.6% TS
He also going to likely win Clutch Player of the year as those stats are also off the charts: 6.5 points in clutch, 51.5 FG%, 25.7 Net Rating.
Yeah, pretty ho-hum lol.

Removing a 6'6 guard from being on the court....
or
Removing a 7'4 F/C from being on the court...
Which is more impactful with Play, Prescence, and Accountability...

For back and forth sake...
I understand how great SGA is, I think he was rewarded last season for that, I just think this season the Lakers are not a 3 seed or a 50 win team without the way Luka has been playing...
Also, the Spurs are dramatically different when Wemby is on the court compared to when they sub in Kornet....
Whereas, if you sub off SGA or if SGA is playing or not, OKC continues to do what they have built... its a great system and it allows smaller market teams to thrive no matter if they have a star or not on their teams...

Michael Jordan (Era context): In 1996-97, Jordan took 1,202 mid-range shots, representing a massive volume compared to today's league.
SGA (Current): In 2024-25, SGA was among the top leaders with 348 mid-range attempts, hitting over 50% from that range, reflecting a high-volume "lost art" style in a 3-point era.

I’m just showing what the data says. SGA has been worth more.
Posted on 4/1/26 at 10:51 am to longhorn22
Spurs are 10-5 without Wemby. OKC is 8-4 without SGA.

He literally crunched the numbers for you, it’s Shai.

Can you take SGA and put him on Sacramento? and they are a 50+ win team?
(SAC is 19-57 currently, that's why I am using them as an example)

Notice I did not same names or specific player....
Inserting a 6'6 guard to replace another 6'6 guard is very common in the NBA and they have plenty of those...
Removing a 7'4 F/C and putting another in its place is not happening.....
