"You can't be better in a loss than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was on Saturday night... can't play better, can't be a better example, can't lead better... Shai acted like a grown ass man before during and after."
@notthefakeSVP on SGA's performance in game 7 and actions afterward
Well mannered
Competitive
Participates on defense
Respectful
Doesn’t spam 3s
Brought back old school midrange game
No allegations
No drama
Good teammate
I present to you, the most hated man in professional sports
I don't know about you guys, but I think it really sucks that a well-thought-out, classy answer got cut down to one sentence so people can clown him in the mentions and so the aggregators can get engagement.
We learned some stuff tonight.
Shai is the rightful MVP.
Cason Wallace is a playoff player and worth every penny.
Chet doesn’t have it against this team.
Dort’s time in OKC is likely done.
I accept the blitz, I believed in this team because I’ve seen them do it so many times
Down Dub, down Ajay, it was always gonna be difficult to win tonight
Shai did all he could, Cason was sensational
Everyone else let the moment swallow them whole
Draymond Green:
“Shai, you've reached a new level of greatness my man... you got sports media coming out and talking about what they don't like about your greatness, as if SGA is running up and down the court with the whistle in his mouth calling a foul for himself... you all think the NBA is that easy to where this guy just flops and goes to the free throw line and he becomes the back to back MVP? We really gonna dumb the NBA down to that?”
