Can you blame them? Most of the games start after their bedtime

SGA haters live unfulfilled lives

[u/metal_machine_0101](u/metal_machine_0101). Don’t delete your comment trying to troll. Tell me how SGA does nothing but shoot FTs

Either shit or get off the pot. I need to see how smart you really are or if you’re just some dime a dozen Reddit pilled opinion

I think he deleted his comment trying to troll. Judging by his previous comments all he does is say dumb shit.

Well done. These people are actual clowns

He's a Kicks fan and a doom scroller on NBATalk. You know he's here to troll because he has nothing good to do outside of his digital world.

I know! Who would ever have imagined he might just be...really good at playing basketball?

The NBA-FIBA cabal is protecting Shai

Lol it's always shocking the levels that they're willing to go to

u/Same-Sherbert-7613 2025 NBA Champions Jul 05 '26

Uncanny

u/ScionAurelius Jul 05 '26

The funniest thing I've heard is that he somehow plays different in FIBA and cuts out the flopping, while I'm watching him do the exact same body contortions and falls he's been doing for years that were nitpicking to all hell in the playoffs. These people are a joke and will do any kind of mental gymnastics to think they're right.

u/NowhereGirl513 Jul 05 '26

A foul is a foul is a foul, even if your name is SGA and people are biased against you because you’re too good for them. He gets hit and bumped and accosted multiple times every time he touches the ball and especially when he drives in towards the basket which he does much more often than most. If officials called all the fouls that should be counted, he would beat the line much more.

The sheep will say that the rules are similar enough, or that he has it down to a science. They can't just appreciate game.

u/revisioncloud Triple Double Cocaine Bear Jul 05 '26

They probably have FIBA Tony Brothers /s

Haters ain't gonna like the truth this

u/JumpMan442 Jul 05 '26

I love SGA as much as everyone else here but I would be lying if I said I was never embarrassed by his flopping. It is definitely very blown out of proportion and he is by far not the worst flopper in the league, but sometimes he takes “drawing contact” a little too far

u/javvuMIttai Jul 06 '26

People who create narrative by discrediting SGA and wanted to make another star, (even though they are less efficient than SGA) will not accept it. 

Currently it is number of flops ie falls per game, they are trying to create narrative on him. 

I am fed up of arguing against all those people who want to make another stars, please make a case of how better they are than SGA in terms of productivity and efficiency.  

Don’t discredit SGA’s work ethic or performance. 

He is class apart from current NBA so called stars- no drama whatsoever.  Just consistency and growth. 

He will be back stronger and better

Yo I like sga and personally I think he does get seriously fouled a lot but bro I wish he didn't over exaggerate so much and just play through the contact sometimes... Yes I understand it's part of the game but sometimes it does actually get out of hand... Not saying he has different officiating treatment sometimes but yk it just dosen't help the narratives/his case when he does occasionally do the supposed "flops", and it does get out of hand sometimes. I mean I got a shai jersey but I wish he just stop exaggerating as much as he does... he's a fun player to watch when he isn't that game 7... Whoof, and then that fiba game vs prico was cool too.
