I can see kobe
One good game doesnt mean mvp, just means they played better that game still not mvp
I legit seen people online trying to downplay SGA's MVP case because he took 30+ shots tonight…Its funny cause i recall last month Jokic had a string of games with 30+ FGA, One of which he took 30 shots in 3 quarters, Nobody said anything because they were too busy marveling over the numbers he was putting up. Funny how soon as Shai puts up a crazy statline, Suddenly the numbers themselves aren't impressive lol
Jokic will go 50/20/15 against the Kings
SGA CONSISTENT!
MVP
MVP!
MVP Shai..but seriously..this further proves prime Kobe and MJ averaging 42 ppg in this era EASY
Look at 1:12 🔥🔥🔥 just dancing with the ball man SGA is SMOOTH!!!Jokic having another amazing year but Shai is MVP
MVP easily. His team is #1 seed and he's missing chet.
MVP easily
that's the mvp
SGA MVP
I like that he doesn't rain down 3s. more Jordan like effort. although MJ would get 54 when the final total was 87pts, not 121. 🙂
Reminds me of Shaun Livingston with the midrange game he got
MVP
Joker is still the MVP
Every jumper hit nothing but net. He was in the zone 😂😊
I thought we'd never witness a Jordan or Kobe type baller again! Closes one was D Wade I thought!
MVP
..wow SGA🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
What an amazing performance for SGA… JOKIC FOR MVP 🔥🦄
Why does that surprise me that his career high is only 54? 👀
17 free throws yezzir
This dude underrated, I think okc should be nationally televised.
MVP
MVP Statement game, let's go Shai !
man that’s why I felt so much aura opening YouTube
MVP
Shot below average from the field and the 3. Made up for it at the line though.
My MVP
I want SGA to win the Season MVP. I mean he deserves to win it, he put the OKC at the No. 1 standing in the WEST against those stronger teams. Not to disrespect the Joker he is far greater than he ever was, But for me, I go with SGA this time. (If he continues doing this in the regular season)
SGA is a superstar. A unique player as well
My goat
This kid is a midrange assassin🔥
An efficient, less athletic and more mature Modern Kobe Bryant. I hope he wins the championship
Clearly the MVP
Let’s remind the sad and angry Nuggie fans in here that when SGA, after beating the Celtics, Cavs, Knicks X2, plus putting up a career high 54 piece all in the month of January, will have earned 3 consecutive Western Conference Player of the Month awards. This will ultimately seal his fate as the 2025 MVP
that step back killing them
These statement 50 piece type games mean a lot in the middle of an actual close MVP race going on mid season. Some rise to it some crumble second half. Hope this Shai keeps it on the gas.
Cooked tf outta Sexton at 1:11
Shai is a walking Lexus- consistent, always reliable and uber efficient.
They had no business with them big ass centers guarding him but then again he would of destroyed all of their guards too
I don't care what Jokic does- Shai deserves MVP this year
Jokic is MVP!!!
Change my mind…
MVP, no question
I don't understand defense today. SGA, Curry, Harden, and especially Luka aren't fast and everyone keeps biting on their driving stepbacks like their Allen Iverson. Terrible Defense in modern times
hes too good 😩
Finally he drops 50+. See that wasn’t hard for him to do
His buckets got that nba live '02 feel ❤
