I don't watch a lot of NBA, but from the things I see here and there, they seem to be a bunch of flopping, crying babies. I especially can't stand Caruso and Dort. But I think SGA is pretty bad as well. Hate to speak ill of a Cat in good-standing though.
Has the Thunder soured you on SGA?

- Start date
You should watch and form your own opinions instead of what you hear.
His stats and awards have proven he is the best to ever play at UK! Love me some SGA and his Thunder team.
The professional leagues are nothing more than “Professional Basketball Entertainment” (PBE), and basically like “Professional Wrestling”, but with basketball.
Best to play AT UK? No, he isn't
No. Only thing that soured me on him and Wallace were them picking Arkansas in the tournament.
As far as while here then no. But if pro is considered then yes unless his career cuts short or he falls off.
All those ridiculous picks the Clippers and Rockets gave them is what has soured me on OKC.
I watched about 1 full minute of action in the 2nd quarter of today’s game. Have not had a very eventful Saturday as it is but that one minute was by far the most boring minute of my day.
SGA, former Cat or not, is one of the worst offenders of trying to draw fouls that should never be called.
-NBA champ
-NBA finals MVP
-4× All-Star
-3× All-NBA First Team
-2025 scoring champion
And he is only 27
I like the Thunder. They play defense. SGA is a scorer and deserving of his standing in the NBA. I’m be pulling for them and the knicks with KAT.
His playing here was good but what he's became,, he's the up there with the best or is the best pro to ever come out of UK..
1 NBA MVP to boot.
You haven’t watched enough. I love watching the Thunder, great basketball team with the best player in the world. I’ve never been a bigger fan of SGA. So no, it hasn’t soured me. It’s the opppsite. Shai was insane today. 15-18 from the field, 42 points. Yeah just awful to watch.
Best to have played at Kentucky. Not while at Kentucky. Had he stayed a couple more years we may even be saying while at Kentucky. Definitely a lot better players while playing in college. The NBA, he’s taking it to another level already in my opinion. We’ve sure been a lucky fanbase to see all the great players we’ve had.

It could end today and it would be hard to argue against him being the best to ever play from Kentucky. Big Dan had a long career, Davis, Towns, Wall and Cousins all had/ are having really great careers, but SGA is doing Jordan Kobe LeBron type stuff. I’m not putting him with them yet for sure but he’s on the way looks like. Hopefully he’s got a long career ahead of him.
I agree 100%. Also , he’s taking advantage of the rules and using it to his advantage. It’s almost impossible to stop him in today’s basketball.
Another one on the way by the way it looks. He’s a bad dude.
SGA is amazing. I think he's the best pro player that played at UK unless something changes.
He plays such a beautiful game on the offensive end. He’s also a pretty good defender too. Excellent leader. And a perfect spokesperson for the league and good role model for kids that shows what being humble and working hard can do for you. There is nothing not to like that’s why they have to force narratives.
Cason is also pretty good too.
Don’t shy away from those comparisons. We’re watching in real time him doing only what Jordan has done.
Can’t stand the SGA hate. I think it’s all jealousy. UK fans that dislike him are ****.
SGA - greatest NBA Wildcat of all time when it’s all said and done? Don’t even think there’s a debate. It’ll be him by a wide margin.
Jordan comparisons? Chile please…
Jordan comparisons? Chile please…
Yeah but Mike did it like this a long long time. SGA needs about 4 more championships and a few MVPs to be in that group. With Jordan I mean. He’s on his way to something special no doubt. I hope he stays healthy.
What professional "leagueS"? Are there others besides the NBA you're talking about?
2 of only 5 30ppg +50% fg shooting season in history by a guard. Including the top fg% of all time in thst category this season.
The other 3 seasons? Jordan, Jordan, Jordan.
How long can he do it though?
Hopefully for a long time and we can all eventually say a former wildcat was one of the best to ever play.

Haven’t watched an NBA game for prolly 20 years. So no, not soured. No chance to sour me.
Yes he is. It’s not even close.
I just can't imagine watching the NBA today. To each his own, but it's such an absolutely atrocious product anymore. I can't take it seriously.
Did you read my post, or just slobber all over your keyboard with a ready-to-paste response?
BTW, I use Arch and the NBA doesn't play defense for ****.
Drawing fouls is a skill. There’s superstars that NBA loves that doesn’t get the foul calls SGA does. It’s because he’s unstoppable unless you do foul him
Nah, I’m an independent thinker and don’t get caught up in what the group is saying or the narrative. I like to look at facts and reality. I bet they have you calling KAT soft too.
