Found a shirt for you:

quote:

Which is more impactful with Play, Prescence, and Accountability...


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

Without SGA they are still a 50+ win team.


Dude, just stop.
quote:

Mid range basketball is what made the game beautiful


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.
quote:

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.


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. :lol:
quote:

He's led the league in FTA per game the last three years


Because he’s unguardable.

Also this is just a bad argument. You think ALL of his fouls are fake? Coaches can challenge fouls you know.

And what would make a guy getting fouled on the way to the rim “unwatchable?” He drives more than anyone else in the league, of course he’s going to get fouled a lot.

If he does some acrobatic move that no one else in the league can pull off, makes the layup, and gets fouled, that’s unwatchable? Dumb argument.
quote:

And last night he shot 25 free throws.


Yeah because he got fouled a lot and the game went to overtime and they fouled intentionally at the end. If he averaged 25 free throws a game you might have a point.
quote:

he's still annoying to watch


A couple weeks ago he had three straight games where he hit game-winning threes. If you find that annoying, rather than impressive, then you’re being childish.
quote:

SGA is an annoying player to watch play basketball


Yeah people say this after he beats their team. Has nothing to do with his “form” of basketball.
quote:

but I'd at least be able to admit that he plays an ugly for of basketball.


That's not true though, he's the best scorer in the world. You'd know that if you watched his games. He's better at getting to the basket than any other player on earth.

Sure he oversells contact sometimes, like every other great guard in history, and then he makes his free throws. To say his entire form of basketball is ugly shows your ignorance on the matter.

Remember, no one is forcing you to have an opinion on everything, especially things you know nothing about.
quote:

it's not really a good watch nor does it make him an incredible player


This is how we know you don't actually watch.

quote:

I do believe OKC is a top 3 team without him so to say he is an "MVP", I simply do not believe that.


Then you're a frickin dumbass, he has the highest +/- in the league. :lol:

You don't even watch the NBA do you?
quote:

I love this board so much.


Surprised it took this long to have a thread about it. No mention that it was an overtime game, or that he was being double and triple teamed all night to try and stop him. They still couldn't and had to resort to fouling him.

Also no mention of all the intentional fouls at the end of the game when it was already over.
I hate that people are picking Arkansas in the final four. We’re not that good! Huge gap between us and the 1 seeds. Florida just beat us by 40 a couple weeks ago.

Will be lucky to get past Wisconsin or High Point. We have a 7 man rotation on three days rest after three games in three days and a cross country trip.

If we even manage to make it to the Arizona game, they will win by 30.
They need quarters so team fouls will reset. It’s lame when a team racks up 7 ticky tack fouls and the other team is shooting 1 and 1 with like 13 minutes left in the game.
Makes sense to move Memphis to the East since they’re on that side of the Mississippi.
quote:

Went through 3 pages and still don't know who SGA is. And I'm not googling.


He’s the best basketball player in the world so I’m surprised you’ve never heard of him. Not a big sports guy?
quote:

Apparently the NBA doesn't know what the words streak and consecutive mean.


Or the NFL, MLB, NHL, every other sport that exists, etc.

Are playoff games played with fewer players? Or maybe less time? I'm confused.


It’s weird how many of you are so eager to prove that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

A playoff is now not considered a game?


I don’t know how some of y’all make it through the day.
quote:

Then it’s not 127 “straight games”


It is, you just don’t know how stats are compiled. Playoffs aren’t included in stats like this in any sport.
quote:

But why does Shai’s 3 games in the playoffs where he scored less than 20 not count?


Playoffs don’t count in any of these records. Some of y’all just shouldn’t comment about things you don’t know. You don’t have to have an opinion about everything.
