The NBA has pickup lines, too, but only if you are Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. The Oklahoma City Thunder star is getting compliments from the basketball community, which is becoming more evident.

During a recent game, Gilgeous-Alexander had one of the sweetest fan interactions. While signing jerseys and caps on the sideline after the game, SGA had one fan recite a poem. However, it did not end well for the enthusiastic Thunder supporter, as Shai threw out his most honest reaction to the poem.

“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, oh how sweet, if you score over 30, I will give you a treat,” the fan said in his poem. Interestingly, he went on to ask for a review from the NBA star, saying, “Was that tough?”

“Terrible,” Gilgeous-Alexander said while passing by with a smile on his face.

However, apart from all these funny interactions, Shai’s performance has upped to a seriously impressive level. He has been on an absolute tear lately, and it’s no surprise that his MVP odds have taken a big jump. With his incredible play, he’s now the favorite to win the NBA MVP award at +125, just edging out Nikola Jokic, who sits at +135.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is Player Of The Week Now

The OKC is currently sitting at the top of the Western Conference with a 26-5 record with an 11-game winning streak, most of which goes to Gilgeous-Alexander. He has just taken home the Player of the Week award, and it’s about time! This is his first Player of the Week honor for the 2024-25 NBA season.

Although he already has a Player of the Month award for October and November, Gilgeous-Alexander was absolutely on fire this past week. He is leading the Thunder to a perfect 4-0 record while averaging an unbelievable 38.8 points per game. He also contributed 6.5 rebounds, 6.0 assists, and 4.3 steals. All while shooting 63% from the floor, 40% from behind the arc, and an incredible 97% from the free-throw line.

When you take a look at his numbers, it’s hard to argue against the claim that he’s having a season worthy of MVP recognition. As we head into January, he’s also a strong contender for the upcoming Player of the Month award, especially after averaging 32.8 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 5.5 assists throughout December.

The NFL and Beyonce are being criticized on the back of the latter’s halftime performance during the Christmas Day showdown between the Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens.

The fixture, streamed exclusively on Netflix, saw the Ravens pick up a convincing 31-2 victory.

Beyonce gave the crowd quite the performance at halftime but sparked some controversy after making a gun gesture with her fingers.

Fans Wanted Fines And Flags For Beyonce

Fans thought it strange that Beyonce could bust out the guns while NFL players get fined for it. They thought she should have at least gotten flagged.

“Where is the flag on Beyoncé for the finger guns?!?!” someone asked.
