He’s the next evolution of boom. Where boom will misuse or misrepresent numbers and use double standards his arguments do stay on court. This guy makes straw men and non sequiturs like he was some machine designed to do so and you can see from his last post, he’ll connect a specific on court argument to something that has nothing to do with sports. boom’s integrity is 100x more than whatever this thing is.

Does he do that? He doesn’t seem bothered by much of anything.

I’m sure attention on this game, if there is even enough to speak of, would go away on its own. But I don’t think his legal team doing this is that big of an indictment on SGA himself


Folks are mad at the wrong people. The league and refs desperately need to clean up some rules or enforce some already on the books.

Correct but you need to be specific because the Copelahoma fans will twist and lie about it.

People like myself who don’t like any of these teams are mad at the league for this trash they’re putting out.

Nobody should be mad at SGA, he’s a competitor using whatever he can to win.

People who can’t stand OKC fans are 100% correct, they’re ignorant, insecure, dishonest and petty.


Need to separate these arguments because the last group with conflate them to obfuscate and deflect from the other two.

Easy to shoot 50% from the field when you draw a magical foul every other shot

This thread is a perfect encapsulation of the massive sky screaming melt going on by OKC haters.

Not one post or thread was ever created when Wemby did same thing or other stars.

Its pretty awesome to read the board during playoffs and watch the melt level increase day by day. Every hater is trying to outdo the other haters and its glorious seeing them trying to one up everyone else just like this thread.

Most well paid athletes in all sports have agents and lawyers who handle the business side. And their job is to protect their player money and NIL. There was ways around this without making it illegal.

But the extra helping of melt this created is extra spicy

100% true. However…

Wemby, Giannis, LeBron, etc weren’t seeing their “likeness” used to depict a beached salmon.

So just because you support he’s being made fun of with this board game means he shouldn’t pursue legal action for NIL when it’s clear he’s being depicted?

Like objectively what is the difference between this and if an OKC fan sold Tshirts with his face on it?

Recent: **Shai** just sent a cease-and-desist to a board game ("Unethical Hoops") mocking his flops with his name/likeness.




Does Shai have some sort of trademark on the name Shai, like Giannis does with "Greek Freak"?
I didn't think so.

No where does it say SGA or Shai Gilgeous Alexander, nor does it say OKC or Thunder.

They aren't using his name, his image, or his likeness. They are using a first name, and a caricature of a basketball player in a random jersey.
Lawyers will allow it.

I’m a spurs fan who lives in San Antonio and the FBI has been shutting down vendors who sell unlicensed spurs merch on the southside.

I also found that to be dumb.

If Wemby did the same thing then that’s dumb too.

I hope the lawyer lets you suck him off when he’s done though! Lol

Notice i have not once in this thread said whether i think his legal team should or shouldn’t proceed this way.

Merely sharing the news and drawing a contrast between this example and those others.

He can do whatever he wants. And “the people” will respond accordingly.
