In the next few lines, the three-time All-Star made another comparison of himself and the person(s) he addressed. He highlighted that he spent his time in the gym while they wasted theirs in clubs. Lastly, the Thunder ace reveals that he was "patiently" waiting for his time and he believes his time has come.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is arguably the best player in the NBA right now. The Thunder guard can score on all three levels and has the ability to draw fouls and make his own shot. He is an offensive powerhouse but what makes him different is his ability to provide the same value on defense.

SGA is averaging 32.6 points, 5.2 rebounds and 6.2 assists per game on 52.5% field goal shooting percentage. He is a frontrunner in this year's MVP race and if OKC ends up making a deep playoff run, the three-time All-Star has a strong case for his very first MVP trophy.
