SGA's 'Aura'

A lot of y'all are already curious, what and how did SGA become known as the 'Aura' god in the NBA?

Well, aside from his cool NBA interviews, SGA is also known for his high basketball IQ, making him one of the most formidable point guards in the NBA. Averaging 32.5 PPG during the 2024-2025 NBA Season, SGA is the frontrunner for the league's MVP race and just as young as 26 years old, he is leading the Oklahoma City Thunders with a great record of 44 wins and 10 losses this season.

SGA's aura is also quiet but deadly. With every move he makes when playing, he makes sure that his opponents eat dust on the court.


With SGA's 'aura' finally being known worldwide, it is fun to discover that Giannis is the first one to notice his aura, making both of these players more loved by the fans every single game.
