@merkcitygod that’s a shot isn’t it ?

From the free throw line?

@aryh21 @okcamars try watching his game without any twitter narratives in the back of your head and I promise this wouldn’t have happened.

@okcamars Nvmd I take it back just saw

On god Shai didn’t get touched?

@iamgyamfi_ @BleacherReport guarantee nobody here has more basketball iq than me and that was an amazing watch. tired of these non athletic dweebs saying what’s unwatchable and what’s watchable

While the stat line is historic, a 47-point game that relies on 21 made free throws is a tough watch for anyone who values a fluid game. The Pistons played physical, playoff-intensity defense, but the whistle was so sensitive that Detroit’s bigs were in foul trouble by the third quarter. It’s a great individual achievement for Shai, but relying on one player to generate nearly half the team's points through constant trips to the stripe isn't a sustainable formula for the postseason. If the refs swallow their whistles in a seven-game series, this version of the Thunder offense could be in serious trouble.

SGA SHOWED OUT IN OT WIN VS PISTONS ⚡️ 47 PTS (21 in 4Q + OT) 5 REB 12-19 FG 21-25 FT Clutch.

@kdub159 @yeezy531 @UnderdogNBA makes sense as to why you’re ret@rded

@yeezy531 @UnderdogNBA “This generation”. Lmao. I’m a millennial. The nigga still corny. Foh.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander when asked if he wants to make an MVP case for himself: "Nah, I’m good... I let my game do the talking."

@Jackson7384792 @Legreatnessss very confused on what’s bad about free throws

@Legreatnessss Watch out dumb ass OKC fans gonna call this ethical hoops ✌🏾😂😂

Nah disqualify this nigga from the MVP race You can’t be shooting 25 free throws😭

@DragonofD0j1ma @rvpats1212 @TheHoopCentral @MichaelOnSports is this supposed to be a bad thing ?

@rvpats1212 @TheHoopCentral @MichaelOnSports Them 25 free throws speaking loud 🔥🔥🔥

“Nah, I’m good. Thanks for asking, though…I let my game do the talking.” — Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on if he wants to make his case for the MVP. (h/t @MichaelOnSports)

@Thunder4l1fe @bballbreakdown definitely was but that’s not what determines the pushoff

@imo0z6 @bballbreakdown As mentioned above though he was already moving in that direction though. Contact looked to be marginal imo

The push off by SGA is the one move I think should be called more often. Especially when he extends the arm fully. But don't forget: the defender is already moving in that direction so sometimes it looks worse than it is. I'm not sure there was a ton of influence by this push off tho

@HtK_zambies @Asimpletone @idcstfumaynee @LegionHoops @TTK_3001 brother u don’t know ball well enough to debate with me stick to debating people on ur level

@imo0z6 @Asimpletone @idcstfumaynee @LegionHoops @TTK_3001 holy gaslight

Refs take away SGA’s game winning three. Unreal.

@trillestrial @NBA__Courtside would be cool if there was literally any stat, fact, something that proves this to be true.

@NBA__Courtside That’s such bullshit. Like other teams don’t try…. We complaining cause they the ones that get the calls. Not saying ny didn’t make mistakes but the free throw disparity is to crazy to ignore

Stephen A. Smith on Mike Brown complaining about the officiating during the OKC game: “I’m saying, listen, you look at the Oklahoma City Thunder rather than complain about them. Don’t hate, emulate. The fact is they’re the reigning defending NBA champions. They’re clearly doing something right. Figure it out. And find a way to emulate it yourself or to dwart their efforts. New York Knicks yet to do that. And that’s why since the All-Star break, the New York Knicks are 9-0 against teams under .500 and they’re 4-7 against teams above 500. That’s less than mediocre if you’re the New York Knicks against winning teams. News flash, once the playoffs arrive, that’s who you’ll be playing, winning teams.” (Via @FirstTake)

@Thunder4l1fe @bballbreakdown sga fan and you 100% call it in that situation. sometimes his arm extensions isn’t pushing the defender and is just his arms momentum of him using his shoulder and creating space. wasn’t the case here as he actually uses the arm to push him rather than shoulder.

@bballbreakdown Exactly maybe I’m biased but I don’t think that’s something you call at that point in the game

@Asimpletone @idcstfumaynee @LegionHoops @TTK_3001 he literally doesn’t. when he actually pushes off they call it as you can see. the avg person genuinely just doesn’t even know what a pushoff is

@idcstfumaynee @LegionHoops @TTK_3001 He does it 50 times a game.

@reallhitsonly @_24finch @unbiasedpicks @Tun5s @NotLikeRuss oh he’s definitely going to the nba I was jus saying in general lol mfs at that level are literally so far removed from mfs hooping at they local ymca. just feel like the avg hooper who hoop locally don’t realize how many levels it is to ball

@imo0z6 @_24finch @unbiasedpicks @Tun5s @NotLikeRuss there’s no even if he don’t lol he’s a 6’6 wing & can shoot the 3 at a good percentage

guess what this niggas ig handle is

@jadaaae but if u was to tell him u found someone else and in love with them but haven’t had sex with them guarantee that nigga wouldn’t of went nowhere💀

@jadaaae it’s deadass not even that lmao when yall gone ever realize men and women don’t think the same at all. a man fucking another woman don’t hold as much weight to yall as a woman fucking another man. now if he was to tell u he fell in love with another woman you wouldn’t have stayed

A ngga fucked 1000 hoes on me ina yr ina half i cheat back once now he done bet😂😂😂😂😂😂 nggas really can’t take what they dish out

@Danaskullyx @Emarged huh

@imo0z6 @Emarged It only became full circle for your mama and in your fantasies about black women.

@Jackson7384792 @flo_cade well obviously no just saying that’s not the same at all

@imo0z6 @flo_cade What u thought I played in the NBA be fr nigga 🤦🏾😂😂

Made more free throws than he did field goals. I mean when does it end with this guy?? 😭😭😭😭

@InvadeCanada @LegionHoops @NightcapShow_ i’m not taking away anything from rudy very deserving of any penny. guess the point i’m making is shaq just deserved way more money

Rudy is probably a top 3 defender of all time. Shaq is the most freakish specimen in NBA history but he didn’t fully utilize that and instead chose to be fat. Little known fact is that Rudy’s superpower is his stamina and his physique which he has earned through hard work every summer all summer. Imagine how much more dominant the most dominant player of all time (Shaq) could have been if he had Rudy’s work ethic. He shouldn’t say anything about Rudy, ever.

Tracy McGrady on why older players constantly criticize modern NBA players: “It’s the money. Did you realize in the 90s, Reggie Miller and Michael, they were only making $2-3 million? And they were the top guys… it’s the money.” (via @NightcapShow_)

@camperry21 @dalvinthetruth i’ll never be able to get over the fact that people say the g league isn’t impressive and the league is literally just composed of college stars. like it’s literally better competition and better players he’s going against

@dalvinthetruth No he’s not lol. G league development isn’t better than college. He won’t likely get another NBA contract

As i been saying instead of developing in college they was just gon have him develop in the nba / g league . He’d be a junior in college rn . He getting better work in the league .

@InvadeCanada @LegionHoops @NightcapShow_ I can kinda understand from shaq perspective cause it’s like jesus gobert wasn’t half the player I was and is making my career earnings in a year

@LegionHoops @NightcapShow_ True and props to Tracy for saying it. Only proof you need is to listen to Shaq talk about Rudy Gobert.

@lilmalwickk @RThunder58 @1cameronj omm😂

@imo0z6 @RThunder58 @1cameronj Das real asab 😂😂😂😂

Nobody is contesting this lol it happened way too fast
