20-year-old NBA veteran defends Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with severe criticism

20-year-old NBA veteran defends Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with severe criticism

by

The NBA MVP 2024-25 is to be announced on Wednesday before the Knicks-Pacers game 1 of the Eastern Conference final. A race that lies on Denver Nuggets star Nikola Jokic and Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is assumed that Gilgeous-Alexander will be the winner of the coveted award.

According to his performance of game 1, this happens against Minnesota Timberwolves, where he scored 31 points to lead the thunder to a comeback in the second half. While his performance at OKC's victory was of crucial importance, there was a lot of criticism when he received 14 attempts at free throwing, some of which were questionable. Ex-Los Angeles Clippers star Jamal Crawford spoke to his defense.

Crawford, who closes the PAT McAfee show, defended Gilgeous-Alexander after McAfee announced that he hate the foul bait that Shai does. “You shouldn't hate.

While there is no doubt that Gilgeous-Alexander receives some questionable calls, Crawford's intake is not wrong. Although Gilgeous-Alexander led the league with 7.9 free throws per game, the second scorer of the NBA, Giannis Antetocounmpo, led the league at 10.6 per game in free throwing attempts.

In view of the fact that the argument has many people on Crawford's side, it seems as if the NBA could investigate how they lead to bad calling, since the players are still able to draw free throws with “non -basketball” movements. Gilgeous-alexander will currently continue to find ways to get into the line and change the game for OKC.
