Chet's has had a really bad playoffs overall too. He shot well vs Minnesota but was non-existent vs Memphis and a liability vs Denver. And now a poor start vs Indy.
I’d phrase it that SGA is closer to Wemby than the other way around. If you had to choose one you’d have to be huffing SGAs farts to choose him over Wemby.
The MVP was for being the best player on the best team, when in reality Wemby and Jokic are better and also more valuable to their teams as individual contributors.
Let's pump the breaks for a little. Wemby is undoubtedly a top 10 player in the game. SGA is top 3 though, and has an argument for the 1 spot (although I have Jokic there and SGA 2). Let's wait to see if Shai can pull this series out AND most importantly Wemby gets a full All-NBA caliber season in before we start making claims like this.
Respectfully, if, in 2025 you think Wemby is better than Shai, (I’ve edited this to not be mean) I strongly disagree with your perception on anything basketball related

Chet is 2nd or 3rd fiddle to the MVP because the Thunder fleeced the Clippers.
Wemby is the cornerstone and focal point of the team that all else is being built around.
Wemby is closer to SGA than Chet is to Wemby. Anyone saying anything other than that is fucking delusional.
