he needs a time machine where he reaches his current level like 3 years ago and he needed a way better playoffs this year and going forward.


Time machine? Is Shai like 30 or something?

MJ didn't win until he was 28. Shai just locked up the MVP, Finals MVP and his first chip at 26. He's on track to become one of the GOATs.


he's 26. jordan was putting up SLN (shai-like numbers) at 23. and that's the regular season. jordan's rookie playoff numbers (24.7 PER, 0.198 WS48, 9.5 BPM) look almost exactly like shai's this year in his MVP season (25.3 PER, 0.222 WS48, 8.3 BPM). and other than 1995, jordan was way above those numbers before his final season in chicago at 34. so either shai needs that time machine or he's going to have to have MVP/finals MVP seasons with prime jordan numbers at like age 36.

Well I'm not projecting him to reach Jordan status but top 10 all time, thus far, he has a great start.

Probably because Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars didn't get injured. Beating Indiana without Haliburton doesn't make you an all-time great :x
7 different teams have won the championship in the last 7 years... so i wouldn't assume SGA is on track for anything :P

Uh oh. You open Jordan comparison talks and it sticks forever. It will get tiresome but damn near inevitable I guess.
