Good call. I guess I should have the word modern
There is absolutely nothing entertaining about SGA's game. He will never be a star

You know I love this shyt. I'm just more intrigued by players who's game has a wow factor. My favs are Jordan, Wade, AI, Zion, Kyrie, prime Vince (still lacked the handle of his peers to be a GOAT and all podcasters completely miss this when talking about Vince).
Slashers are the most fun to watch. Shai is literally a slasher and his game just does not do it for me. It's my opinion though, but his game has nothing on the other players I mentioned, they are all better slashers and more fun to watch.
You don’t like basketball if you don’t like Shai. He is very skillful, the way he gets to his spots and takes the shots he wants is elite, like Luka.
My gripe with SGA is that he is a 2 masquerading as a 1, like a lot of other dudes. The dude that is 6’6 and can give you 30 every other night shouldn’t be tasked with lead guard duties as well. They’re tall can see the floor well and got handles like a 6’2 guy but sometimes you need buckets and the best scorer should play off the ball more imo

He is a star and not everybody has to be the face of the league. It’s starting to become an overused corny phrase at this point. Like a ran thru narrative thot passed from Ja, Ant, Wemby, Tatum, Zion, etc.
All the young guys when healthy bring a different flavor that makes the league collectively better than previous years when it was just 1-2 guys.
SGA can be the Duncan to Ant Edwards’ Shaq at the guard position. That’s fine. Or if Kawhi and DWade had both been healthy and in their primes (offensively) at the same time.

Fasho. I think as far as talent the game has more great players than ever. It's kinda lacking that must watch guy though, it shoulda been Zion because his game looks so pretty to watch, but the nikka is never healthy.
Ant took a few years to get there, Z walked in dominant, just as Luka. Those types of players generally all end up first ballot Hall of famers. The 22-28ppg rookies (only Shaq, AI, Blake, Zion, Jordan, D Rob is in that club).
I'm kinda disappointed because I expected a lot more from Z, but Ja also. This era has bounced off of so many "face of the league" players over the last few years, I want somebody to take that title. Ant seems headed for that, but it could be snatched by a great year + playoff success from Z next year.
Everybody is getting a shot. But I kinda feel like I want somebody to lock that shyt down.

Nah he be balling out skillfully and fundamentally
If you don’t like him you prolly don’t like Jokić, Brunson, Bron etc
SGA is a star but he’s more skill than flash

I like him but not his game, if that makes sense. I like his personality and what he's becoming to The League for this next era and his team, he's definitely a dominant cover...
But he chucks and foul baits too much for me. And I'm a Harden guy
but Harden was more entertaining I felt like, maybe because Harden was a flashier player, the passes and dribbles and all that, even Harden's dunks were more exciting than Shai's...
But I do like Shai though!

The irony
This is an oxymoron
What are you even talking about? Minnesota has already beaten Denver twice in Denver. Not saying they are going to win the series, but saying the chance of doing something that has already happened is slim is just bozo talk.
