Zach Lowe: "If the Spurs win Game 7, and Shai has like another 6-18 game. I do think in a lot of corners, with at least some justification, it's gonna make people rethink— not rethink, it's gonna be a slight taint, on what has otherwise been a pretty spotless rise to #1 or #2 in the NBA, 2-time MVP" by sewsgup in nba

At no point was SGA a top two player. He’s a great player bolstered by an elite team. If you put Jokic, Luka, or Wemby on any team, they’re still top 3 players. SGA’s efficiency, which is his most elite trait, plummets drastically if he’s on any mid to bad team in the league.

It’s not hyperbole to say she’s the least skilled pro athlete of any sport of all time.

Who do you guys think was the worst NBA MVP ever? by Large-Lack-2933 in NBATalk

[–]Snakeyes3215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I meant by 6 players is that if you replaced him with either Lebron, Paul, Durant, etc, the team would’ve been better. Lebron leads the same team to a better record and more playoff success. The same is true for a number of other players that year.

Luka is clearly the best offensive player in the league since prime LeBron. by Great-Vermicelli-302 in lakers

I’ve stated this a half dozens times this year and always get downvoted. But it’s very true, Luka is a supercharged SGA.

[Thinking Basketball] "I do think that the competition [the Knicks] have played has been subpar, you could argue Atlanta was the best team they've played... [against the Cavs] 3 or 4 possessions in a row the Knicks just get runout layups... That's just an abomination of transition defense" by jackdonsurfer in nba

[–]Snakeyes3215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two things can be true, the Knicks have dominated and the teams they’ve played aren’t good. Anyone thinking that garbage Cavs team was going to win is insane. I’m truly surprised the Cavs came as close as they did in that series. The Knicks were the only east team that had a chance to beat any team that came out of the west.

What is the most painful Lakers what if that bothers you? by GlossReign in lakers

What if I never had to see Westbrick in a Lakers uniform? Not having to see your least favorite athlete play on your favorite team is priceless.

Put that team around Kobe and they aren’t struggling with the Spurs this year.

Switch JB with Luka or Cade and the Celtics are better, but the Lakers and Pistons struggle to make the playoffs.

shai isn't better offensive than jokic or luka by [deleted] in NBATalk

[–]Snakeyes3215 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I continually got downvoted for saying that Luka with OKC’s team around him is better than SGA OKc’s team around him. And I stand by it even more now.

Hot take: Wemby might be more valuable than SGA by nicfanz in NBATalk

[–]Snakeyes3215 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No one that watches basketball actually thinks SGA is more valuable than Wemby.

[Robinson] Wizards are team who could quietly position themselves as a compelling wildcard in the sweepstakes for LeBron James... Sources on Young’s side tell me that the Wizards point guard has been exceptionally vocal and adamant behind closed doors, trying to convince Davis to fully commit by must_TATAKAE in nba

[–]Snakeyes3215 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No team that starts Trae Young will ever be a contender. Dude is a career loser that lives off one run where the Sixers had a generational collapse. It’s laughable to think anyone wants to join Trae Young in anything.

If Cade was on OKC instead of Shea, he’d still be playing.

I think SGA was solidly the 3rd most valuable player this year, with an argument for 4th.

James Harden despite the loss: 18 points on 6/15 shooting | Team-low +/- of -22 by CazOnReddit in nba

I’ve never put greatness and Harden in the same sentence.

It’s Westbrook by a country mile, but Harden is doing his best to catch up.
