What’s funny is Kobe had a similar media personality and demeanor as Shai. The difference is, Kobe played in Los Angeles.
Give the Knicks OKC’s roster and success these past 3-years, Shai would be the next/new Kobe. The entire team would be rock band status.
Just imagine, the Knicks being defending NBA champs… on a 74-win pace, blowing teams out by 30 every other night? Led by a 6’6 mvp, finals mvp, and scoring champ putting up prime Mike numbers? Bedlam.
