Shai & Thunder MAKE STATEMENT vs. Jokic & Nuggets, Kawhi BIGGEST All-Star SNUB ever? | Nerd Sesh
The nerds give their takeaways from the first heavyweight meeting between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder and Nikola Jokic’s Denver Nuggets, breaking down what we learned in this potential WCF preview. Then, they react to the NBA’s all-star team announcements, discussing Kawhi Leonard’s insane snubbing, the controversial decision to include LeBron James, the historically weak East and whether we should be concerned about the struggles of the “snubbed” Alperen Sengün. Finally, they discuss how the Cleveland Cavaliers improved by trading away DeAndre Hunter for Keon Ellis and Dennis Schroder.

CARSON STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT
Logan: 😁 Carson:😁
You guys seemed so much happier this episode you must LOVE Groundhog Day
This dude Logan gotta be geeked lmaoooo he ain’t move in like 40 minutes
😄😄😄
Thunder up!!!
These guys are abnormally happy about 6 more weeks of winter
I was hoping the ad was "radio " quality too 😂😂 great show always fellas
Carson definitely looked just like that in all his school photos😭
You guys are one of my favorite nap-time listens so please don't worry about the lack of video – I slept equally as good! Much love boys
Kawhi should be banned from the NBA. His contract should voided from LAC at least.
Kawhi barely played half the season and his team is under .500
Kawhi probably wouldn’t play in the All Star game anyway.
The nerds only come out with smiles on after the one game per month in which OKC and Shameless Grifter Alexander aren't clanking step-back hero-ball threes, for a change.
😁
I think Siakam deserves the spot over MPJ because Siakam has also had a crazy on-off swing while also having the 3rd highest gravity (according to Rick Carlisle).
LeBron should not have made the all-star team over Kawhi 🤦♂️
taking sga over joker iust fucking dumb. it's insanity. jamal shits the bed missing wide open shots and suddenly that means sga > joker. love you guys but damn the recency bias is blatant.
I keep forgetting about no camera so in my head you guys are actively talking, and when i look back over at my phone I get jumpscared when it doesn't match my mental image of you guys talking
I wish they could guard SGA as physically on and off ball like they can to Jokic.
Someone said Shai is developing a dependable double double this year. They said next year he will start being a likely triple double.
at the all star break, yall should revisit your top 30 players. its been a while.
Smiling when OKC wins. Noticing
Last thing you see before you inhale chloroform and wake up in Logan’s basement
As I get older, I actually find myself going back to still images over video anyway. I can get off to either just fine.
Correction: Lebron is NOT the best player who has ever lived. Please just stop with that garbage.
Carson I’m scared
i lost the staring contest i guess
Idk if its a statement win with AG and Cam and Braun out, and with Jokic still playing into shape, but they played well
Look at those beautiful smiles
holy fucking shit I knew I was a genius
They already have 16 and 8 voted for world/USA.
Meaning that Giannis's replacement CANNOT be Ingram, Mobley or MPJ by the rules…
People been saying Shai doesn’t do playmaking and his assist is very low. I’ve been telling people if his teammates doesn’t brick everytime he shares his ball, he would assist around 10+. This game between Denver and OKC proves me right. When his teammates make their shots, his easily assist 10+ assist by 3rd quarter.
