Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on basketball as an ART, team chemistry & the next generation! | NBA Today
Shay gilis Alexander is on another level goodness Shay gilis Alexander one of the great emerging superstars in this game GQ said you are the most stylish NBA player two years running I believe describe your style in a couple of words I think it’s authentic who I am it’s how
I feel it’s it’s just natural effortless do you think of of basketball as a form of art as your form of art absolutely especially how how creative the game is today a lot of it is just feel a guy cuts me off I do a move he cuts me off
Again I do another move and something fun and good just happens stops on a dive Shay knocks it down you guys are the youngest team in the NBA the chemistry that you all have it do you have a appreciation for how special that is absolutely no knock on my first year
In NBA was amazing um but I was that was the first time in my life I was on a team with like older guys guys with kids and family um this team feels like a college team like a high school team like a a team Young thoroughb led by a
Brother that is busting everybody’s you know what Anthony Edwards he was asked recently in an interview with my colleague Stephen A Smith about the Next Generation you Luca and he said I’m better than both those guys I expected him to say that I wouldn’t expect him to
Say one of us is better than him the thing about NBA players and especially guys that are that talented um we all believe we’re the best we all believe what we bring to the table is special and unique and he has every right to think so and so you do too
Absolutely when the team is succeeding led by you who leads the league in total points in total steals the MVP conversation comes with it what would it mean to you to win MVP yeah it would be special something you dream about as a kid I can’t remember what exact game it
Was I just know I was watching like a Kobe game mhm and the crowd was chanting MVP was the freeo line and I just remember like immediately after the game was over going outside chanting MVP to myself at the free throw line kind of just hoping
And dreaming that one day I’d be in that moment it was kind of crazy I had been people have chanted MVP at you to you when you’re standing at the free throw line yeah it’s it’s it’s an amazing feeling it’s the best feeling when you look 5 years from now back at your
Career what would be a successful 5year run if we win an NBA championship do you think that that’s something that you’re capable of this year I think we are capable of anything would it be amazing would it be it’s all stuff you dream about but at the core of it at my roote

Class personified
These athletes think they dress fashionably. When in fact they dress like clowns. 🤡
Love shai man
S2A MVP !!!!!!!!! my glorious king
Top 2 player in the NBA. This generations Kobe.
So underrated. He needs more recognition! More National TV games!
One of my favorite players right now
Bro been in his bag for a few years now, everyone is just starting catch up and catch on now.
My mvp doesn't start trippin around the baddies like tatum
Shai been him
bro genuinely sounds like drake, just deeper
Please don’t put Stephen A.’s voice over this
I feel bad for dude cause jokic 3rd mvp is inevitable
I didn’t even know Shai had a accent lol barely heard him talk before.
🌩️
My fav young player
You see how a real player does not fold and says Goofy stuff lol
I’ve been seeing people saying his game is boring and those people must not like basketball and have never played his game is so fun to watch he so smooth and gets to his spots and has a counter for everything this mans bag is ridiculous
Top 5 pg all time when it’s all said and done
The media be hating on SGA because he Canadian, if he was American they wouldn't be a debate about who is NEXT. Statline: 31PTS/ 54% /6AST
Jokic is the MVP. You could argue that Shai has better teammates. Chet as a rookie is arguably better than Murray this season (his shooting and two way value makes him more valuable) while the other teammates even out.
Murray has also missed 17 games.
How can Shai be the MVP without ever making the playoffs in recent memory ? In 2022 Book won 64 games and averaged 27 points with a much lesser roster than Shai this year and wasn't considered top 3 in the MVP race. How does Shai skip all of these players (Booker, Tatum, Luka)?
Nobody cares abt this flopped 😂
It’s art
Came here just to dislike
If SGA leads these boys to the 1 seed and he keeps these stats up then he deserves MVP imo
And he is Canadian! 🇨🇦
He gives me Jordan vibes. The charisma, his tone of voice. OKC gonna win some championships 🏆
I didn’t realise how humongous his lips are compared to his head
God bless Shai man. He is special. MVP
Bro is unguardable
He got my MVP vote. Top seed and extraordinarily consistent.
The lack of NBA media coverage for Shai throughout the years has been criminal. RDC skit represented it the best 😂
The FACE….. #ThunderUp
Malika Andrews backwards: Akilam Swerdna
My boy just do everything smooth 💪🏽
SGA dresses like lil nas x. Read into that what you want. This guy can get to the bucket any time he chooses but. The coach gave him too much rope last year letting him play pg giving him unlimited Kobe iso reps to score so he could try make an all star game while they’ve been rebuilding is now starstruck by him and it’s rolled into a second season and giddey has had his rôle significanty lowered and okc will be this years grizzlies. Have a great regular season and get bundled out of the playoffs first round when they finally manage to put the clamps on sga
SGA def got bucket after interview
shae gae
Canadian legend already. Raptors need to bring this man home!! 🇨🇦
Class unlike Ant.
48 30+PTS Game's and counting…SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
