Shai Gilgeous-Alexander – Shai is the model of consistency and was actually the reason for undertaking this study. He “plays well”, which means he has a game score above 75% of his yearly average in 86% of the games he has played this season. On top of that, he has only played “poorly” in 3% of his games this year, which is just absolutely bonkers. Honorable mention goes to Luka, KD, LeBron who all play well in more than 80% of their games. Special shout-out to LeBron James for still being the model of consistency, even at age 39.

Mark Daigneault on SGA leading the league in steals and the value it brings:
“That’s like more than a full game of the season that have ended on 0 points for the other team because we have the ball. That’s a full game. There’s 105 possessions in a game, he’s got (135) steals.… – 3:13 PM

When the hell did the national conversation shift from it being a Jokic-SGA race for MVP to Jokic wrapping up the award? Isn’t OKC ahead of the Nuggets right now? I don’t think anything drastic has recently occurred to warrant the sudden change – 10:12 AM

Sacramento here Wednesday – it’s like an entire Raptor/Canada coaching staff (Jordi, Jay, Doug Christie, Leandro Barbosa) — and then SGA here Friday.
Interesting week at some level at least. – 8:17 PM

More on this storyline
From discussing Steph Curry being the flag bearer of change in the modern-day NBA to discussing tactical breakdowns of their favorite plays, they discussed everything! With everything said and done, there’s one more thing Bron couldn’t help but discuss the thing that infuriates him the most: “How many guys f*ck up a play out of time-out? Burns me alive. It burns me alive that a coach can sit there and all five guys are looking at a play, and they come out of time and f*ck it up. Bothers me so bad.” -via Essentially Sports / March 20, 2024
Draymond Green: “I must say, I am a little upset that LeBron James is like going on the podcast and he still hasn’t been on the Draymond Green show. “When it’s your own thing, you kind of can’t say anything, so I guess I’ll live with it for now.” -via YouTube / March 19, 2024
