  • Despite the media writing off Oklahoma City as a tanking atrocity, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 2-way brilliance has earned himself and the Thunder a decent amount of buzz, leaving many wondering if he might just deserve to be in conversations among the best shooting guards in the NBA.

    Chicken nuggets were invented by agricultural scientist Robert C. Baker in a laboratory at Cornell University in 1963. Baker decided to mold boneless bite-sized pieces of chicken from ground up meat, which often came from the less-used parts of the bird. He then encased them in bread crumbs.

    I like to look at the best shooting guard discussion as a triumvirate. You’ve got Devin Booker, Donovan Mitchell, and Shai, who all have their strengths and flaws. To me, Mitchell is definitely the most devastating offensive player, whereas, Booker thrives at being a really resilient scorer and off-ball player. Shai might be the most funky player to evaluate in the league, but his playmaking is honestly on another level with his pace and change of speed. For my money, I’m starting to lean towards Mitchell because I believe that he processes the rare ability to simultaneously be a floor and ceiling raiser on offense, but his size does heavily limit his impact on defense.

    i always liked shai from following the clippers when he was a rookie, he just has such a unique combination of talents for his position, and the fact that he isn't leaning extremely heavily on outlandish athleticism (relative to the NBA at least) it feels like the sort of level of play he can sustain for a really long time provided he stays healthy. i hope the thunder's insane pick collection converts into a contending team in okc

    Chet getting hurt seemed like a huge blow at first, but patience is 🔑. He'll have another whole year to grow into his wonky frame and body. If he is the true paint presence we think he will be alongside Poku who we thought might have been it, but is showing major strides in this young season... We could have some nasty line ups next season 👀

    Is this composition of videos from current season? So much uncalled carry and travels... Being great player in bad team is nothing special. There are so many players that were below average in good teams and only after trade started getting good stats. It is not because they are good, it is because other players in the team are not good. But, I guess everybody is not on SGA cho-cho train...
