Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Doesn't Mince Words After Winning NBA Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Oklahoma City Thunder had the best record in the NBA during the regular season. They went 68-14 and were first in net rating.

As the Thunder gathered on stage, OKC Mayor David Holt snuck in a hot take in his rally speech that forced everybody to blink twice to make sure they heard right. He called Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the greatest Thunder player ever. The opinion exceeded the outside temperatures in pure heat, which had several attendants get IVs near EMTs.

Alexander’s waist during Tuesday’s Oklahoma City Thunder championship parade didn’t come from a flag shop or a website—it came from a Yukon High School teacher’s classroom.
