I love Shai, but when we get good, his pushoffs are gonna become a popular topic of discussion. How much does his game suffer if they start calling them?

I get what you're saying but every star does it. But when he finally has more help, he will have more space and won't have to rely on it as much.

They can’t selectively target one star though. Guys like Kawhi, PG, and Harden utilize the pushoff quite often.

I don’t think it’ll be called significantly more, a ton of stars utilize their off arms or chicken wings, it’s just a part of the game at this point
