I honestly think the only thing holding Shai back from being looked at as a superstar is his athleticism. Man game smooth af
Tbf if you don't think he's superstar level you're not watching.

But yes, the athleticism and verticality celebrates him from the Goat guards that people think about

fukk all that. The league needs to market this guy and hype him up. I don't wanna hear the non-American talk either because Canada is basically the same.

SGA dresses flashy as fukk so I know he won't mind the attention and promotion.

He might not be yamming on people like MJ and Kobe but the rest of his game is every bit as aesthetically pleasing as those two.

I agree. Generally the faces/superstar treatment are electrifying. Shai just smooth

The Bron highlight dunks, Steph 3pt shot, Mike, Bean, Ant all star athletes.

AI flashy. I think the league could promote him more but I’m not sure it would help. Look at Tatum

To further my point LaMelo gets more love from the fans

Considering Joker & Giannis are leading ASG vote getters right now shows that folks will get behind a foreigner if the game is there.

Obviously an American will get more looks but that's still no reason to not get behind a guy like Shai either

His game is electrifying to me. :hubie:

Three level scorer and does it in every way imaginable. Spot-ups, step-backs, post-ups, drives, pick and rolls, mid-range; he does it all. Way more entertaining than Ant or Tatum.

I think the foreigner stuff is way overblown and bullshyt. The league just sucks at marketing right now.

Sammy Sosa was a MASSIVE baseball star in the 90s and he spoke broken English at best. David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez were two of the most popular baseball players in the 2000s.

The NBA has never had its very best players be foreigners outside of Hakeem for a couple years while MJ was retired so it doesn't seem to know what to do, which is ridiculous.

Anyone who doesn't think Shai is mvp should know:

The Thunder are the youngest team in the league. Again.


And are steamrolling teams.

Again.
