SVP addresses his comments on SGA: “…that bothered me. Cause I did say ‘he’s not fun to watch, I don’t like watching him play.’ Well that’s not the way I feel. Because he’s great. He’s a basketball genius.” Good follow up conversation from SVP. Worth a full watch. (SVPod)

So either.. An MVP voter doesn’t know OKC’s All-NBA forward has been out the last 4 playoff games.. or he’s getting JDub & JWill mixed up 4 seasons, 3 playoff runs and 1 championship into their careers.. or he’s analyzing a game he obviously didn’t watch.

SGA telling the story of Sam Presti giving him The Tortoise and the Hare book during his Sportsman of the Year speech is a must watch. "I'll never forget when I first arrived at OKC and you gave me the book The Tortoise and the Hare. You explained to me the meaning behind it and I’d be lying if I said I hoped I didn’t need it at the time. And boy were the next few years very, very rough. I think we won 25 games one of the following seasons and that was a lot. Eventually, when we started to weather the storm, I revisited that story and I started to see how it relates to my own path and our own path. This past season, when we won the championship he gave me a statue of the tortoise, and that's a very Sam Presti way of saying 'I told you so.' I keep that beside my championship ring, my MVP trophy, and thank you for that." (Sports Illustrated)
