“he’s still probably taking shots now”😂😂😂

Taking shots now: _Where'd all dem casuals go that was just in here getting lit up by The Shai_

[@UhOhUmm]

He's so insanely fit because of it, if you watch the games everyone is sweating buckets and he looks like he just came of the bench.

[@JayFrm585]

*Flashbacks of DLo still putting up shots* 😭

​@UhOhUmm some people sweat less than others

Being a gym rat also good for saving money and prevents bad decisions being made 🎉

[@sethprice850]

Facts!

[@Tttttt85253]

Exactly if you drive around to get food every other day that's hella gas and money on food compared to 15$ a month on a membership

[@S3verusMyG]

Gilbert Arenas be saying this false

[@TheNamesDitto]

Ja moment

[@duffal0]

Pat Bev said during Shai’s rookie year the whole team would hit the club after the game, and Shai was the only one who would stay behind and just be in the gym lol. He’s genuinely gonna be an all time great.

[@spoodyR3]

Shai sounds like if Kobe actually had social skills and liked his teammates I can’t hate the dude he’s a superstar

[@XChronicHash]

LOL big facts

[@86Sentra]

More efficient

[@pstratos7]

So basically if Kobe didn’t have mamba mentality he’d be shai

[@thisisSPARTAorsprite]

@@pstratos7no social skills and hating teammates = mamba mentality??? Are you dumb The whole video is about his work ethic and in the gym = that’s actually mamba mentality That’s what him and Kobe share did you read the comment your replying to , or do you also have no social skills?

[@MrGlizzock]

[@jonahtaylor7449]

I know he never has any 50 point games but so consistent.

[@wabdih]

[@Lakers2988]

SGA will be a champ one day and a future HOFamer

[@lenirish]

On the trajectory for sure

[@sharmarkeismail4698]

I would be very disappointed if sga doesn’t finish his career with at least one ring

[@mskcrc]

He is 100% a HOFer if he stays healthy. Gonna win an MVP at some point, maybe even trade back and forth with Luka for a couple years before Wemby wins like 5 in a row. Elite player, like 2016 Harden on O where he does a little bit of everything with the ball, but attacks relentlessly. Less lazy. They’re one piece away from dominating the West. Edwards is going to be carrying a team older than him and Shai’s will be younger.

[@ethanbaileylol2283]

[@jamesevangelista6460]

First saw Shai when he's still 18 yrs old when he suited up for Canada in the OQT. He's so skinny back then and never played a game. Never thought that kid would end up becoming a star in the NBA

[@Nono0618]

I did

[@washthehateoff7233]

The signature “Kobe/MJ 🤷🏾‍♂️” pose has me ctfu

[@ToothpasteNorangejuice]

I was playing my career and went up against the thunder. I saw this guy and thought he was a generated rookie 😭💀

[@hristijandimitrovski8664]

Shai is top 5 player soo far this season after first 12-13 games. Altough competition is insanee right now because there are multiple players with amazing stats, but I think Shai still belongs in that top 4l5 list.

[@Christopher._M]

He's not in the top 5. Watch more players Watch giannis, jokic, Luka, embid, KD, Steph. Shai is great in terms of scoring he might be top 5 but as a player he's in that 8-12 range. He doesn't shift the defense the way KD, Steph, Jokic, giannis, or embid do.. Besides Steph he doesn't rebound at their level. He doesn't play make at their level. He might be a better passer than some of them but since he can't attack the attention some of those guys his passes don't have the impact that those guys do. He's either the worse defender or second worse defender out of those guys. He can't score better than any of those guys

[@vittiriowashington5211]

He can score better than Giannis, based off skill not athletic ability

[@Christopher._M]

@@vittiriowashington5211 that might be debatable but I trust giannis more in the playoffs and against any defense.

[@vittiriowashington5211]

@Christopher._M that's rightfully so, he has proven it.Hey, as mynute as it may seem, thanks for being logical vs being opinionated like most.

[@hristijandimitrovski8664]

@@Christopher._M he is great in terms of scoring. Excuse me, what more he needs to do??? He averages 29 points per game on over 52% from the field and 92% from the free throw line, he averages 6,5 rebounds and 6 assists which is also great, if yoi average above 6 rebounds and 6 assists as a shooting guard or small foward, it means you can pass and you can rebound. Simply he hasn't weakness in any aspect of the game right now, he is leader in steals per game (2,6), he averages 0,8 blocks which is great for his possition, shoots 35% from deep... He definitely does much more than just scoring the ball🤣🤣he is great 2 way player in fact.

[@lesfin3265]

You can tell they go hard against each other. It’s making everyone better

[@LeGoofy23]

one of my friends who can’t even name 5 current nba players somehow knew who shai was when i sent one of his ig posts to the gc

[@LeGoofy23]

think it was the one with the big red rubber boots

[@strxts9790]

He’s beginning to be a leader now at his age, he’s a role model already for young guys on his team yet he’s still one of the youngest on the team himself.

[@caml1720]

your subtitle said "our team doesn't really like that" but it sounds like jdub said "lack that".

Imagine if Shai could shoot 3s... that team is stacked too. If they can hold on to all those stars, it's a wrap for the next 10 years.

[@OnlyFloor]

I hope someday we won't have to worry about a player that impacts the game on both ends implementing the aggressiveness of a 3pt shot. dude doesn't need to 3 hunt. Embiid had 70+ pts the other night with 1 3pt. y'all gotta stop trying to add the 3pt shot with everyone's arsenal.
