Does Shai have "it"?

[Lalouie]

personality-wise, face of the league-type IT,,,right now i don't think so

but he has everything else.

personality-wise he's more like tim duncan-type IT

Oh come on, Nash is one of my all time favorite players, but this is no contest.

FTA is a great player, but he's going to need some hardware to get to Nash's level. And he's nowhere close to being as good as a true PG. It's a bit premature to make such a declaration, so let's give it some time and re-evaulate. I will say that he's off to a good start though.

For now:

FTA...

Is this his nickname?

I see it first here..

I'll wait until the finals conclude. He can easily be another Harden rather than the 3 greatest SGs who all individually had IT aka killer instinct.

SGA has it, he's shown it in flashes but MJ, Wade Kobe all showed it emphatically on a regular basis that you didn't need to question if they had IT. With literally all of them you saw IT from their rookie season.

Okc has a phenomenal phenomenal team, a historically great defensive squad so he has that factor to heavily lean on. However, once again I think the finals will show a more definitive answer. For now we just know he's incredibly skilled, talented and poised/super under control and even keel.

He's destroying teams lol. His brand is cool off the court

Part of it is that the NBA has refused to market him and his team and people are getting surprised by how good they actually are but partly I think he should show some more charisma especially on the court. Curry danced after a 3 , Kobe pretended he was a snake and hissed on the court lool. I think he will grow into it because the thunder are here to stay and have more capacity for growth tnen any team in the NBA lol. So we'll be seeing him on this stage for a while I bet

Not exactly sure how you are definite “it” here
