Shai Gilgeous-Alexander works on new shot in practice after NBA push-off rule change
If the NBA thought a push-off crackdown would slow Shai Gilgeous-Alexander down, his latest practice tape proves otherwise. The NBA’s push-off crackdown hits right at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s go-to scoring move.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the NBA's MVP and reigning champion, continues to adapt his scoring technique in response to the league's new push-off rule. The rule change targets one of SGA's signature moves: his off-arm bump to create space for mid-range jumpers. Despite the crackdown, Gilgeous-Alexander remains undeterred, as seen in recent practice footage showing him refining his quick release.
The Thunder are scheduled to begin their preseason against the New Orleans Pelicans, providing an opportunity for their star player to demonstrate how he will adapt his scoring to the new league guidelines.
