Seems like talking to you is like talking to one.

“An all time great”

He’s been good for 5 seasons lol

I dont know he's got a lot in those 5 seasons. There are a lot more questionable guys in the HOF with less of a resume than him. Bottom line is there havent been that many players to win MVP, a title and Finals MVP in the same season recently. Shai is easily a first ballot HOFer in my opinion.

It says a lot about shai who did have a very nice season but on the flip side, it says a lot about the basketball hof as a whole. It’s probably the most watered down of the 4 major sports.

Best GM in the league.

Really, if anyone should get credit for OKC,s rise to success it should be Kawai Leonard forcing the Clipper's Front Office to trading SGA and a mountain of 1st round picks for Paul George.

With only two Finals appearances? I agree he has done an excellent job building organizations, but why him over what San Antonio accomplished for 20 years? I still think he needs more seasons that end in the Finals (with or without more titles).

Maybe cause these guys just aren't able to deliver the basketball to Pascal. Every post entry pass looked like an adventure.

Siakam is the all-star, he's the leading scorer and he's the front runner for FMVP on the Pacers. He's literally done it all including a championship clinching shot and game in 2019. Instead of riding him you bet the championship on spamming TJ isos. It's just crazy and disrespectful to Pascal. Two years in a row when will Rick learn it's time to run some plays for Pascal?

He shot 5 of 13, and you want him to shoot more?

I would leave it like that, but that's very reductive, and I would agree with you of the fact that they need to run some plays to get Siakam in position where he can score at high efficiency. But Siakam isn't SGA iso-scorer, and there's a reason they run things like they do.

Thunder deserved in the end even though theirnoofence was again pretty bad. Shame about Hali's injury. Typical Game 7 overall, lots of nerves and both teams were clearly exhausted at the end which made for ugly basketball for the moat part.

That fourth quarter was a great examples why I much prefer to watch games after they are over so I can fast forward when necessary, so many stoppages, it took forever.

Shout out to the pacers for a great season and a great effort in these finals. Shout out to Tyrese man get better, heal up. Shout out to OKC they may have a potential dynasty on their hands and shout out to the guy I believe is the best player in the world, SGA. Salute.

West is going to be more loaded next year. The Lakers are Rockets will be better. Hopefully, the Nuggets stay healthy. Spurs and Mavs are going to be good too.

The East, on the other hand, will be wide open.

OKC the team the beat! East is wide open.. Pacers are done...

He was against losing harden right? I have never seen a GM draft better and put together elite teams every year like him. He’s also only 47. He’s young. He will be the goat

Don't trust the Mavs or the Spurs. The Mavs are one AD injury from being a bottom 5 team.

Spurs need to make a superstar deal, or they will get bounced in the 1st round. The only real threat is HOU

He may end up the goat when it's all said and done.

Why have most of the OKC fans left the arena already? You'd think this game was in Indiana. When the Panthers won 5 days ago, it was at least half-hour after the game ended before anybody left.

The pivot from rebuilding to this is remarkable.
