    Default SGA Is Already Better than Peak Lebron

    Aside from the fact that he's not a shrivelly fourth quarter choker, SGA is poised to win MVP, FMVP, and scoring title in the same season - something Lebron was never able to do.

    He's poised to win a ring organically, without jumping to a stacked team. Something Lebron couldn't do.

    He's already scored 3,000 points this season, regular and post season combined. Lebron never did that.

    He's the best two-way player since Jordan. A better team player and more efficient than Kobe. And clearly better than Lebron ever was.

    LeBron scored 2,999 points during the 2018 season/playoffs while dishing out considerably more assists than SGA.


    And best two-way better since Jordan? LOL. Jordan wasn't even the best two way player in the 90's. That was Hakeem.

    LeBron was better offensively/defensively during his back to back title run with Miami than SGA.

    That's debatable, Hakeem by nature of his position was more impactful as a defender, MJ was a lockdown perimeter defender and had the most blocks and steals for guards multiple times but on the offensive end, MJ was clearly the better offensive player. Hakeem never led the league in scoring while MJ has the most scoring titles ever while winning a DPOY. Both were beasts on both ends, Hakeem gets the nod on defense while MJ easily has the edge on offense.

    I've seen that video, it's been debunked.

    I saw his career, I don't need to watch biased videos to change the narrative after the fact. If it's true you're in your late 20s, you rely on videos to get your info whereas I don't but nice chatting wit ya, dawg

    If SGA is truly better than peak LeBron that would make him literally one of the 5 greatest players to ever play the game. I don't see him reaching those heights

    If you're talking strictly two way players, not just peaks, then that's a different convo, but LeBron aside it's still a pretty outlandish claim.

    He's still only 26, if he wins this year, he'll have won the NBA title younger than Jordan or James. He still hasn't reached his peak, dude might go on a run that puts him in the convo...or he may not, hence my "yet".

    I think Jordan, Shaq, and Kareem are the only people to ever win a scoring title, MVP, and FMVP in the same year. So I guess that would make Shai better than everyone else who didn’t do that either

    Also..the Thunder ARE stacked. Just because Shai is one of the lucky guys to play with a great organization capable of building a stacked cast “organically” doesn’t mean they aren’t stacked.

    I’m probably as big of an SGA fan as anyone on ISH btw. But stop it

    Modern fandom is so toxic. Instead of enjoying SGA and cheering him on to win his 1st title, we're setting him up agaisnt Mount Olympus already because apparently hes so head and shoulders above the current crop of stars we need to compare him to GOAT's. Enjoy the show fellas, **** these weirdos.
