When’s the next Luka video?
I like players like SGA, Luka, Brunson, and Jokic because they all take their time and place at their own pace.
he is the allen iverson in taller and slower body. im telling yoiu. even the game is similliar. i bet he copied and mastered ai game a lot
thinking basketball is goated
is it just me or are like 60% of these SGA drives carries
More Thinking Basketball!!
Oh, was wondering why I hadn't seen this vid the moment it came out, cuz it's the NBA channel. I've always been critical of how you measure efficiency, but that's only because you're otherwise the best analytics YouTuber in the game, congrats.
FACTS: Most average NBA fans thought that SGA is just 2 or 3 years in NBA but hes already on his 6th season
The "herky jerky" style, as exemplified by players like SGA, Young, Luka , and Brunson, would be greatly diminished if referees were to enforce carrying violations more strictly. I do like seeing this style a bit more than the slightly different Harden heliocentric style, but this isn't much different. I feel like this isn't quite as foul baity as what Harden was fishing for, but it still is kind of ZZzzz to watch. Also, the 3 step 3 pointer might need to go? That thing is not guardable (Unless Wemby, AD, Giannis, etc just being Unicorns).
I just enjoy watching this kid play
I’m really curious if you timed the difference between the step back and the shot (for mid range not 3s) between Luka and SGA, what the comparison would be. SGA creates so much space that I see him pause a lot before actually shooting. Maybe it’s balance or maybe it’s just reading the game, I’m not saying Luka is better at it but I actually predict that their shot prob goes up around the same time after they initiate the cross.
dude kinda moves like prime PG13

I'm not sure how I feel about getting you on the main NBA channel my friend. These normie fans dont understand the depth of analysis and those of us that do are already subbed to you. But I'm happy for you getting the exposure non the less

Had to double, triple check what channel I was watching 😂 congrats on the collab Thinking Basketball!

Shai-Gorgeous. His game is so fluid
Yooo the gawd thinking basketball!! 🙌
always new he was going to go big
I LOVE Thinking Basketball.
MVP! MVP! MVP!
If pump fakes were illegal, SGA would have 7 points a game
Not the most athletic but really crafty
Clipper fan in shambles. I loved this draft pick.
His 3 pt line jab step and mid dribble acceleration show he's a very deceptive player in an athletic, explosive, and flexible body. That's a deadly combination and makes for a unique superstar.
