Shai Gilgeous-Alexander reacts to LeBron James, Face-of-the

San Antonio-Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was asked the questions weeks before turbulence.

The face of the Oklahoma City Thunder-der No. 1 seeds of the Western and an MVP favorite, Gilgeous-Alexander, was asked whether it imagines the face of the league when the smoke from a transition period for the NBA. SGA has not yet rejected the term. It is tempting. However, the comments of his superstar colleagues have called for the calming of an increasingly important voice.

During the all-star weekend, Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota was asked if he had a wish to be a future face of the NBA.

“Not really,” he replied. “You got (Victor Wembanyama) for that.”

Polarizing comments from a polarizing player who has already been divided into the prospect of finally snapping the crown. Talk shows discussed, and the players of Old Gruben their feet behind his attitude into the ground. The long -time NBA player Channing Frye asked why someone would like to represent a league that saw media reporting as negative and had a preference for comparison with earlier eras.

He’s cold, but he’s not Mike. Kobe would never have folded like that.

Frye collects in the hairdresser dialogue.

According to Edwards, Lakers star LeBron James repeated the feeling: “Why do you want to be the face of the league when all people who cover our game every day are all on everyone?”

All of this leaves demanding thoughts on Gilgeous-Alexander.

To be honest, SGA licks his chops when he asked his opinion on this matter, a chance for him to grow about something he is preparing for. It can feel like an interview for a man who likes the position but will live without it. Above all, he understands what it means.

And that the range of the title goes beyond the desire.

“It comes with responsibility,” said Gilgeous-Alexander after the victory on Friday in Atlanta. “Well, whether you want responsibility, it is ready for you to decide. And ultimately you have no control over it. You can go out and be a monster every night. If the fans and the media and all of them are interested in them, they will respond to whether they want it or not, like LeBron James. I am sure, LeBron James was not 12 like: “Yes, I can’t wait to face the league.” It just happened because he was how he was carrying into the player he is. I think you have no choice unless you say literally, like Anthony, ever: “I don’t want it.”

“I think we are in a strange transition with older boys and young men, and so there is a lot of conversations about it. But it will happen. It will flow out and we will see who it is. You cannot control it. For me, I don’t even put two cents in. I just go out and try to be the best basketball player, the best teammate, the best father, the best husband I can be every day. “

Gilgeous-Alexander was not careful with the microphone. His river is closer together as Kodak Black. He sometimes grabs these topics like a politician as if he had taken the time to take them into account.

And his mind has been found: he would be the face of a league that will soon need a new set. He made lifting to prepare for luggage, only in case people choose it.

He hears his colleagues. He is sensitive to your handles. He hardly shared her to take on new titles and the subsequent vitriol Because From the way he wore his idols.

“Personally, it is not important to me to be checked,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. “It doesn’t bother me at all. You can imagine my game, but you want to think about it. You can think of my teammates how you want to think about you.

“I don’t like to be praised. I do this to win basketball games and ultimately try to raise the trophy at the end of the year. If I don’t do this, it is a failure, then I will work on it again and try again next year. “

Not only does it seem as if Gilgeous-Alexander had granted himself to responsibility that he could soon stumble into. It feels for some time that he has checked the conditions of the coat triple. His words have this idea. His picture was made for the long game.

Everyone makes a healthy campaign.
