SGA couldn’t care less about “Free Throw Merchant” 👀



SGA couldn’t care less about “Free Throw Merchant” 👀

I know you don’t necessarily put a lot of stock into the chance, but what do you think of the the free throw merchant, whatever you want to call it, label accusation? Like the way I see it is like the fans, they’re going to do whatever they can do to help their team win and knock me off my game, being the head of the snake of our team. And that’s their that’s their job. That’s what they’re that’s what creates homecourt advantage. That’s what creates a fan base. That’s what creates energy in the building. And they want the Timberwolves to win. They don’t want the Okon to win. So, I expect nothing else. Um, and in terms of the label, I don’t care. I never cared. Um, I said this before, like I’ve shot more free throws in a season than I did this season. Like, I think because we’re on the top of everyone’s radar, it’s a little bit more noticeable and now people care about it. But um I kind of see it as a compliment.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was not UNPHASED by the fans’ chants against him.

  1. Nah yall stupid, he is going under the defense arm, grabbing them and then flopping. Its a fact, saying anything other is just being stupid and ignoring reality.

  2. I’m not even mad about the number of FTA it’s just the egregious some of the flops I’ve seen are, and I’ve only started watching them in playoffs

  3. That’s the perfect response. No disrespect. He said the truth. Besides the legit haters I’m sure some of the wolves fans legit like SGA too.

  4. Although baiting free throws is the most boring thing to watch in the world, is not entertaining, and is the main reason why the NBA ratings are down, other teams have the same opportunity to bait free throws. What’s the excuse?

  5. Damn yall hating in the comments cuz he doesn’t care bout ur opinion 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  6. NBA stars get favorable whistles. Some of the best players in the league grift all the time (Lebron, Brunson, Embid, etc). What is new here? Maybe because people did not watch OKC before these playoffs?

  7. Of course he doesn't know what the word compliment means.
    Remember guys.

    "Actions mean louder than words."
    – Free Throw Merchant

    Man what a smart guy

  8. SGA does get a favorable whistle, but he would still be averaging 24 points per game if he had no free throw attempts. He’s just a really good scorer.

  9. No sir we just don’t like your game, period. Yall realize if SGA wins then most if not all other teams will mimic this style of play right?!

    Him losing or winning creates a narrative for future players to come. Yall better hope he loses

  10. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."

    John 3:16 KJV

    Jesus died for your sins and he loves you, turn from your sin and repent. To give your life to Christ confess to him your sins and confess and believe in your heart that he died for your sins and came back to life.

  11. Last night he pulled up to shoot and Gobert has his arm extended so the foul was clearly there and fair game but ….. his first reaction was grab Gobert a arm illegally and free throw hunt when he didn’t even have to do that. Still a great player imo and doesn’t have to play like HARDEN, TREY YOUNG, EMBIID ETC. it’s kinda lame. I don’t think he needs to play that style of game

  12. I mean Shai is right he shouldn't care what anyone says he is who he is. It doesn't change the fact how some fans view him. There is some truth to what they view him as.
