@@leonardofabbri7930Where u live means nothing😂 he’s more efficient and slower paced then Kobe , and also post up less his midrange is centered more around step backs solve Kobe had more fade /pull-ups. Each do both But not at the same rate
Whats most impressive about this dude is that he averages 30 but he does it giving you 25-35 damn near every night. Other guys can get there by making up for off nights with crazy 50-60pt games. SGA doesnt shoot enough 3s to do that so its 30 a night off drives and middys. He never gonna get on sportscenter top 10 but I appreciate the work. And 2.8 steals a game while averaging 30 is some other shit.
Yeah.. You are right, but what season was he in when that started happening? Shai is a walking 30 piece. And he always WILL give you that.. Anything else is a bonus.
@@deshawnman3790he is nowhere near Jordan. Jordan was averaging 33, 35, 37, 32 in back to back years and Jordan’s game, moves, footwork, post game, lay up package and shooting was were light years ahead of SGA. Only people I’d put close to someone that was close to Jordan’s actual skillset are Kyrie or Kobe and they not even that close. Plus this defense is way weaker and the rules benefit the offense now lol.
@@dominiquewilson ur right. But scoring this many points at that efficiency for a guard taking mostly perimeter shots is abnormal. Only other player in history doing that you can compare to is jordan. Obviously jordan did it at a higher level. Kobe was never efficient so I wouldn’t mention him. In the modern nba it’s kd, kawahi and that’s really it.
@elijahhudson7119 He averages about 3.5 3PT FGs a game, like how many more 3PT shots do you want him to attempt? I love the fact that he feasts off points that are in the paint as well as in midrange. The way he plays makes him so efficient.
I love how he can control the pace of the game, his game is never rushed he always what the defensive gives at a controlled pace almost making scoring look easy at times
His game is a blend of so many legends from the 2000s and before. Get got some Kobe, AI, D-Wade, even got him looking like Hakeem in the post a few times a game.
It’s incredible what Presti has assembled with the Thunder. Between trades, drafting, signing Dort who went undrafted. Drafting Chet and JDub in the same draft. That SGA trade will go down as one of if not the best in their franchise
I haven’t heard anyone say that his style of play will let his body last a lot longer than the style of a Ja Morant. Which means he will be playing at a high level much longer than players who almost solely rely on their athleticism. He scores effortlessly & he does it without being super explosive. No matter who the person is it alway catches up and usually it’s a mix of injurys between the knees & back. His game is very skilled, crafty, patient, shifty. His game to me looks like a mix of Khawi, Kobe & Penny Hardaway just without all of the athleticism he had.
his game is slower, but otherwise pretty much iverson game there. the jumpshot, release, drive layups, step back, fade away to the left, low dribbling, long crossovers etc...slower but taller Iverson?
Yall comparisons are so fucking off it’s ridiculous 😂😂. SGA plays exact how Dennis Schroeder played when he was a hawk!!! With a mix of jamal crawford! If you know basketball you wouldnt be comparing him to kobe, Jordan. Yall stay putting good players in a box
Well that's odd because one guy was barely six feet and was inefficient but dynamic during a defensively driven era while the other guy is one of the taller point guards we have seen and is efficient but more methodical in his approach. SGA is more like a bizzaro Penny Hardaway.
@@nocturne311 Iverson is one of the greatest scorers the NBA has ever seen. Shai definitely has his own game but he generates a lot of his points in the paint and midrange area, similar to how Iverson did. Also I think Haliburton is more like Penny with less athleticism.
So apparently if you are 6'6", shoot the middy and have solid footwork you're a Kobe clone. Lol. Ya'll are a trip. This man is like a weird mix of Penny Hardaway, Shaun Livingston and Alvin Robertson. Do some homework.
If he really wants to win a championship he should play in LA with Lebron instead of padding these empty stats. Him and bron would dominate the league in LA for sure
Shai is the hybrid of an old school player and a modern player. So refreshing to watch and joy to watch too
And he’s a dawg on defense
He gets bucket buckets
He plays like Kobe bro, I live next to Cireglio I know what I'm talking about

Don’t worry he’s 4th in mvp early votes he’s getting his recognition
@@MrJay007j but jORDAN WILL give you 50, 60 at night
Yeah.. You are right, but what season was he in when that started happening? Shai is a walking 30 piece. And he always WILL give you that.. Anything else is a bonus.
30ppg in 55fg% is tuff for a guard
Jordan level scoring
also .6 made 3’s per game
@lakerobinett Your a bit off on 3s per game. Hes douvke that at 1.2 made per game. But 3s are not a big part of his game.

His game is a mix of Penny Hardaway, Allen Iverson with a sprinkle of kobe
Totally
No Kobe in him, he’s actually an efficient scorer. He’s just a less athletic Jordan. Stats are identical, play style is identical.
@@deshawnman3790 nah, late jordan was strong, shai isnt build like that, its the herky-jerky, shifty stuff thats unique to shai.
no he play's like dwade
@@user-lo3zo5lh8l i feel dwade was stronger and more athletic (early) but i agree that he did play with a bag of tricks like shae.
SHAI GILGEOUS-ALEXANDER#2 .. THE NBA'S 🏀 MOST COMPLETE GUARD ..
ARGUBABLY THE MOST EXPLOSIVE SCORER IN DA GAME PERIOD..
he just makes it look so easy...don't think I've ever seen a player play such a frenetic game so serenely..
That’s how I feel about Luka. Absolute masters of the game at such a young age
@@kl498 you're exactly right..the two best guards in the game..
If shai gilgeous alexander develops a consistent three ball he'll be the most unstoppable player of all time
"of all time" haha okay..

you're not far off..
Of all time????????? Never!
I love how he can control the pace of the game, his game is never rushed he always what the defensive gives at a controlled pace almost making scoring look easy at times
SGA doesn't look super quick, but hes got so much time and separation when he pulls up or drives
This dude is so so nice. Love it! Thunder up ⛈️
he’s the best point guard in the league
That’s Ja morant
@@bigdawg4883that’s shooting guard
@@bigdawg4883 Shai better than Ja dawg y’all still stuck on the hype and popularity. Shai literally does everything better lmao
Chris Paul
Paint BEAST. Dude was cookin Rudy Gobert in the paint a couple nights ago.
His offensive game is so smove
Good job!!
Future MVP
Best Point Guard in the League
He's a faster DeRozan while playing 1st team all defense.
MVP
was just thinking how his mid range is comparable to derozan..
MVP
Believe it or not his foot work is Paul Pierce like, while he picks his shot blocking ability and how he picks hismid spots are like D-Wades
His game is a blend of so many legends from the 2000s and before. Get got some Kobe, AI, D-Wade, even got him looking like Hakeem in the post a few times a game.

His career mixtape gonna be hours long lol
That’s every good player.
He's the black more athletic version of luka
His game is a breath of fresh air. A midrange killer. Glad he’s not a 3 point chucker.
He is so so smooth, never rush
Darius Garland & Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are just so silky with it :D
Don't put SGA in that same convo. He is that dude.
This dude is my MVP. Best 1on1 player in the league. Ultimate speed + control
SGA is that dude!!!!😮
Pure skill
2:59 OH JEEEEESH!
Future MVP!
SGA 🔥🔥
how shai look to the ref of mid highlight is CRAZY 4:43
Something about him reminds me of Kobe. Maybe its just me...
The way he backs down defenders is definitely Kobe like
Cuz he’s a 6’6 guard who can score the ball anyway he wants
allen iverson
It's his crisp fade away jumper, especially when he shoots from the baseline. Gets a guy off balance, stops, fades away, splash. Almost unguardable.

Which means he will be playing at a high level much longer than players who almost solely rely on their athleticism. He scores effortlessly & he does it without being super explosive.

What game is the thumbnail picture from? 😂😂
insane bag
More exciting to watch than the MVP Runner up.....
SGA's game is filthy 🤢
He's very good at playing and smart.
He a fantastic 3 level shooter
he is him
Shai plays a bit like Hakeem Olajuwon. I’m not kidding
It’s the footwork
NEW SCHOOL IVERSON...😮
Shai just different
We have to change the in arena chant to Shai Oh shai O.. daylight come and he wants to just it home!
Mr. Modern Fundamental
Team Canada: SGA and Jamal Murray back court 😬
A young Michael Jordan wow. i just hope he can improve his vert.
This is like watching iso joe
He moves like a left handed player
His full name is Shai Himothy Gilgeous-Alexander
😈😈😈
Sga literally okc's version of kobe
Tuff
This whole i thought his name was Gilchrist Alexander
his game is slower, but otherwise pretty much iverson game there. the jumpshot, release, drive layups, step back, fade away to the left, low dribbling, long crossovers etc...slower but taller Iverson?
Imagine if Shai shot more 3’s how much he would be dropping he prolly would do prime harden numbers
I hope he don’t start shooting a lot of em.
Im a suns fan and would trade Devin Booker for this guy
Yall comparisons are so fucking off it’s ridiculous 😂😂. SGA plays exact how Dennis Schroeder played when he was a hawk!!! With a mix of jamal crawford! If you know basketball you wouldnt be comparing him to kobe, Jordan. Yall stay putting good players in a box
Funny chest style of shooting. Reminds me Penny Hardaway in moves. But He dont know how to play, He looks easy to block.
Looks awfully like the second coming of Iverson.
He gives me AI vibes

We have a long way to go. He gives me MJ/Kobe vibes. He just does what he wants on the court
This dude can drive the ball inside unlike any guard I've seen.
Curry plays baseball, iverson plays football and kyrie plays ping pong
It’s easier now with no rim protector. Jordan was the best at it.
well kyrie in his prime was lethal driving..
Imagine if the clippers never made that dumb ass trade
Kobe 2.0
he looks nothing like Kobe
@@gabrieosouza footwork?

Penny hardaway 2.0
He’s honestly boring to watch but he’s arguably the best guard since Kobe
Hes like a young old Wade
Imagine thinking Curry is better than him 🤣
Copy paste
I still think Ja Morant is better.
Boring game to watch
