SGA's attitude reminds me of Ja with the "We good out west" in this interview. He's actually really not wanting to saying anything because he's not sure they can back it up against the Spurs on the cool.
Commentary was boring for anyone tryn to just see wemby.
Wake up nba the alien is what ppl want to see. No one else loves the game the way wemby does and you can see it… sga scores a lot. Zzzzzz
Victor Wembanyama is the MVP.
Give it to Wemby!
OKC has lost more games this season while SAS has gain alot more wins, obviously Victor performance and drive to win has mean alot more than Shai… ALSO CADE!!!
victor is a modern day wilt chamberlain
Wembanyama must win MVP
SGA has way too free throws so fans should be angry.
Without Wemby speaking out so aggressively on the mvp debate, sga wouldn’t have the opportunity to make a snarky “I’ll let my game do the talking 😎”… Wemby is the NBA’s most important player right now outside of just basketball. He’s bringing real entertainment back. No more boring cookie cutter answers
I'm seeing it as Hakeem vs David Robinson in the playoffs. Wemby didn't win the MVP and dominates SGA's team and goes to the NBA Finals.
I let my free throw and flailing do the talking 😂
Joker is averaging a TD : 27.9 pts/12.9 rbds /10.8 ast/1.4stl on 57.3 % and somehow he's out of contention ?
Most Valuable Plop
Hahahahahahahaha.
The game commentary pointed out a lot of issues ESPN glosses over here- "you gotta beat them you're not gonna get the same whistle that's how it works"… or "oKC players hang off you, he's got scratches" but it shouldn't. Why is it just accepted that because a team is dirty the refs should just let them keep being dirty? If that team is as awesome as their base seems to think and we're just sore losers, surely they're good enough to adapt how they play and play by the rules.
I remember hearing so many "Kareem isnt the goat because he was just a guy that was so much taller than everyone else in his era!".. yet here we are.. and average offensive player who is good at blocking layups is suddenly a GoaT in waiting.. SGA is putting up better stats from a tougher position.. shame such a good player is being wished to fail so hard by media.. if Shai was in any other City hed be loved.. Gumby can have the MVP.. we will take the trophy.. which is what Shai cares about anyway.. Repeat!.. easy..
Fouls drawn per game:
1. Giannis – 8.1
2. Luka – 7.3
3. Jokic – 6.8
4. SGA – 6.1
22. Wemby – 4.9
24.5p 11r 3b is very underwhelming for an MVP case!!
Area 51 is tuff that needs to stick
Double step back is back in the building
this man shump alwayz fried😂
SGA need to change them glasses 🤣
MVP isn’t about wins
If Wemby wins he’d be the new youngest MVP in History!!
Apparently being up two random games for the season is worth more than being 4-1 against your actual opponent
Seattle sports fans don’t rock with OKC whatsoever no matter what. Wemby is better to me anyway. He’s also more articulate so it’s best SGA lets his game speak.
Iman is really a hoop savant, he’s gonna have a really solid career in media (coaching/player development too if he wants)
As a professional analyst you can’t tell who’s more important? Well one guy carry the whole offense the other carry the offense the rebounding the blocking like cmon now
This went is in a minute restriction and he's doing this smh think about that
I see shayla big old head in the back
"Little muscles" is crazy tho
Y’all keep moving the goal post man. SMH
Corny
8:26 we can absolutely get bored, it’s happened to every other superstar. LeBron, Jordan, Kobe, all victims of voter fatigue.
More than half of his shots are free throws
Deeetroit basketball 🏀
SGA foul throw queen of NBA ….
6:21 “Wembiyana” is crazy work shump 😂😂😂😂😂
I got wemby winning mvp. He has the stats, he has the record and he has unmatched gravity and impact on the game that isn’t statistically tracked.
Good call. Tired of seeing SGA get away with push offs
Wemby is not even averaging 30 mins per game yet! Not to mention not in his prime. A healthy Wembanyama can average 30/20/10 with 5 blocks. As hungry as he is, I can see that level of play THIS postseason.
hall of fame is now a joke. It is no longer sacred and rare air
Shump has ALL the sauce

💬 Let's be real… most of us are out here repeating outfits DAILY and SGA doesn't even know what a grocery store looks like from the inside. 😭
