Is SGA the 4th Best Point Guard Ever? Luka’s Lakers Surge, Bam’s 83, Wemby MVP Buzz & Playoff Picks | Swishlist S3E21

Season 3, Episode 21 of the Swishlist Podcast debates whether Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is already the fourth best point guard ever, citing his championship, Finals MVP, MVP-level play, a game-winner, and passing a Wilt record for consecutive 20-point games, while arguing it may be too early compared to all-time greats. The hosts discuss Luka Doncic’s big week and the Lakers rising to the three seed, break down Bam Adebayo’s 83-point game with 43 free throws, and cover the Clippers’ turnaround to a winning record behind Kawhi. They highlight Victor Wembanyama’s recent stat lines and MVP ladder rise, the Hawks’ nine-game win streak after roster changes, and why Boston could slip due to schedule. They also predict playoff over/underperformers, debate who comes off the bench in stacked lineups, run a point-guard gauntlet, and discuss basketball IQ vs ball knowledge and controversial offensive moves.
