Shampoo: SGA reading competitions are very good I have only seen this level in James

July 18th News Recently, former NBA player Shampoo talked about Alexander's ability in the show "NBAToday".

Shamport said: "The thing that I pay most attention to about Alexander is his ability. If you pass Alexander's performance in the last moment of the game, you will find that he is choosing the match, but he is not just 'Who can I dribble from in front of the ball'. Alexander knew it a long time ago: I can pass the No. 1 to 5, I can play, I can go where I want to go. But you will start to see that he is choosing the match. I think to myself, wow, I have only seen this level of reading ability in James."

Then Shamport said: "He can judge based on the match he chose. Is he going to be a backward jump shot or a mid-range drop. I think this is extraordinary. We see too many players handing the game to the referee at critical moments, or letting the defensive rotation decide the winner. And Alexander has seen through all this, and he seems to be saying, 'Oh, I understand what you are doing. You are trying to get me to catch the ball and fall into your trap, but I'm here to take a 12-foot mid-range shot. I'm going to bypass your blocker, maybe a backward or dodge angle, but I'm going to hit this point.' It's really wonderful to see how he wanders and intersects and finally reaches that point."
