If Shai wasn't Canadian, I wonder if he'd be universally loved on this board. He otherwise fits the billing of what cats like about the game.

One of the best guards of the modern era but barely gets spoken about.

Doubt it. He doesn't dunk so there's no highlights there & he doesn't (usually except this year) fire up 10+ 3s a game which is this whole era.

Plus he doesn't have a big personality like that, he's actually pretty bad at interviews in general like he gets nervous being the center of attention & you can see him overthink himself while talking :manny:

Posters on this board hate 3s, so Shai’s game should be right up their alley, especially since he generates a lot of his offense from the post.

He’s a throwback guard in that respect.

Just seems strange how these back-in-the-day cats don’t speak about him on here. I can’t help but feel him being Canadian stops them from embracing him, even if they don’t hold it against him, it doesn’t give them a reason to follow him.

I guess it speaks more to them not watching games than anything else (where they can’t notice him).

That's also a big part of it. Much easier to just repeat that he's nothing but FTs than watch a team that's not on national TV a lot so you would actually have to find their games :heh:
