Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with gifts for all of his teammates
There’s money , and there’s “everyone’s inspector gadget now” money
When you can put an AP on everyone’s wrist in a room you are on top of money mountain.
I’m so far down I don’t even know what an AP is
I just looked it up cause I was the same and it’s Audemars Piguet, very expensive Swiss watch brand.
I’m more of a Casio man myself.
I thought Timex and Casio were the fancy ones
y’all got watches?!
Burger King Yoda watch still holding up strong!
My casio duro cost like $45 and only the watch nerds can see it and know it’s not some fancy watch.
My trusty sun-dial has yet to fail me.
And now you will see ads daily for watches.
lol they’re Marvel licensing clown watches https://www.audemarspiguet.com/etc.clientlibs/ap-com/ui/clientlibs/project-m/resources/images/hero/black-panther-watch@2x.webp
Damn that’s cold!
the watch hands sprouting from the crotch was a choice fs
Damn..Love that!!
watch hand ticks fancily
Wealthy people’s Rolex
AeroPress
OKC loves coffee
Be prepared for a flood of advertising now. Just don’t say the full brand name.
Jokes on them. Waste of money if they advertise crap to me that I’ll never buy
Shai probably didn’t have to pay for any of this tbh
I can see it for the rest of the stuff besides the AP
lol come on now, NBA players are not near the top of money mountain. Yes, we look like ants to them, but there’s demigod billionaires up there who think of NBA players as peasants.
Just imagine what the billionaire owners make,
it’s the “I can build my own new arena with all this wealth but will use public tax money instead” money.
Yeah, this is hundreds millionaire money.
Musk owns the equivalent of 2000x this money.
The gap is HUGE.
Musk could buy everyone a mega yacht in that room and one tweet could get that value back in his stock.
Only because the SEC doesn’t do its job
And more so that we as society seemingly completely lost the fucking plot, but sure the SEC is also partly responsible..
That’s why the B1G clears
If dollars were seconds, someone worth 30m, probably a higher net worth than most NBA players given taxes, is worth under a year. Musk is closing in on being worth over 30,000 years.
The avg American is worth 2 days.
1m is around 10-11 days
1b is 31-32 years
Hate to be nitpicky, because I do love this way of illustrating net worth as time, but the average American is not worth 2 days; the median American is.
Technically the average American is worth ~11 days (~1.09m), a number skewed massively by the ultra-rich.
I was honestly shocked to learn that the median American is worth ~$192k.
I’m surprised the median American has positive net worth.
Yeah me too honestly. Somewhere from like 50-70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck according to most sources, so that seems unusual to me.
It’s the homes. ~50-66% of typical American’s wealth is in the value of thier home. So a person:
That person has a positive net worth even though they are living check to check trying to make ends meet.
They could sell the house for that 550k use 170k to pay their existing house off and have the remainder in cash but they still need a place to live. Now that remaining amount won’t go as far because just like their house value rose, every other home around them rose in value too so selling high doesn’t matter as much if you still need to spend more to buy another place.
Ya know, kinda forgot the average person in the US might own a house given how impossible it feels to me lmfao. Thank you very much for this write-up, it makes a ton of sense when it’s all laid out like that. Certainly goes to show that net worth is not necessarily an indicator of day-to-day quality of living or disposable income.
This is like that Timberlake movie In Time- crazy musk would be almost immortal
The gap from the top 1% compared to the 2% and 3% is bad not even the top 2%- 3% combined doesn’t even get close to the wealth the 1% has.
We 98% couldn’t even fathom the power and wealth the 1% has and they don’t like to be in the open like your favorite idols which are their puppets along with all of us which is their herd .
Gotta get that Spotify gift card tho 😂
They would need the grey overcoat to complete the Inspector Gadget look but the “Go Gadget Go” theme crossed my mind.
I was more than halfway through writing the comment when I realized the color disparity , but it seems everyone got the joke anyway.
This message will self destruct
Jared McCain’s life was made 1000% better by Daryl Morey. He should send him the golf clubs.
Fits like a glove with this team on and off the court. He couldn’t have been traded to a better place
The Jaylins and him are such a group now lol
Unemployed Morey walking around on the golf course course with a golfbag named McCain is hilarious 🤣
lol. Don’t think of the name part. That would be poetic.
I cannot imagine the rage I would feel if I were a sixer fan
Nah it makes sense. This org is dysfunctional. Leaving the sixers was always going to be the best thing to happen to Jared for his career.
…I’ve been numb for months.
DARYL MOREY IS A TRUTH TELLER
Seriously he’s the real winner here.
I’m too old to be hating on a pretty chill dude like this
He seems like a good dude. Completely boring personality for an NBA superstar and the foul baiting gets annoying, but I have nothing negative to say about what I know about him as a person.
I think a big part has to do with the team culture. They got him young and taught him well, and now as the leader it’s his responsibility to carry that torch, and he is doing just that. I don’t think they would ever bring in a massive superstar unless their work ethic matched the team’s. I think it’s also the reason they broke up Durant/Harden/Westbrook without putting up much of a fight.
they don’t need to worry about bringing in a superstar. there about to 2peat and have a lottery pick in the next draft, i think they are okay
The Canadian experience
I’m having a hard time processing these baggy ass shorts and jeans making the rounds again. Shai and Kenrich are the only ones with normal (to me) looking bottoms on. Saw a dude at the office rocking some baggy ass Woodstock ‘99 jeans the other day and it threw me off lol. Chet’s shorts aren’t too bad I guess, but old ass me still had a hard time processing when I prefer pants that fit.
I mean or you could just not worry about what anyone else is wearing mr Top 1% commenter
Like food, clothes are a big part of life. People talk about em lol.
Also most profiles lurk without commenting or are training AI, if you comment once a day you’ll make that top 1%. Not sure if that was the own you were going for.
Apparently you’re not allowed to comment on the clothes or fashion of anyone, especially guys in the NBA who are all about wearing wacky shit (that means you’re “worrying” about it lmao). Commenting on other stuff about them though? Totally fine. Some Redditors are mad weird with what they disapprove of.
Plenty of people will find a way
jay will with the “i love this time of year” is so funny
2nd Christmas
He got em trench coats 😂
That’s just a regular coat for Chet
Lol it barely makes it down to mid thigh on him
That’s cause he’s from the trenches
bruh 💀
Still Burberry trench cost brand new are like $2500
Next year: top hats
God I would love to see Chet in a top hat. The Abe Lincoln memes would be immaculate
Not when you post a video like this. Then they pay you to give them out.
Yeah outside of the watches most of these would definitely be given to him as marketing promotion I would assume.
As a hater, announcing they’re going to make it rain with the trench coats goes pretty hard.
These guys are so goofy. Like a bunch of teenagers just having fun and joking around. Great relaxed team atmosphere
McCain surely don’t mind this new experience.
They’re all relatively near the same age. Caruso is OG at 32.
Also, even if you make millions still nice to give and receive gifts.
I’ve made it a point where I’m lavish compared to my childhood (no millions at all lol) but my favourite gifts I’ve received these past few years were thermal socks and PJs lol.
as a kid I resented my parents/grandparents for socks as gifts, as an adult I ask for socks and shirts as gifts … life is a strange journey
Shai hyping up a Spotify Premium membership is so funny to me “$20 a month!”
Right! That’s the part that got me.
“It’s like $20 a month, that adds up!”
LeBron in shambles lol
I know it’s easy to hate on the way he plays and how great the team is but he seems like an awesome dude.
I get that people don’t want another dynasty that cakewalks into the finals every year but you can still appreciate players for how they act off the court and just as a human being in general.
He’s a very good dude from all accounts. Some people hate him for obvious reasons but they also hate him because he’s so damn good and knows how to play modern NBA basketball at the highest level it’s at right now.
He’s hated bc he’s such a good dude and is so damn good at bball. Tbh I hated LeBron for 15+ years simply because he was so damn good. It just comes with the territory.
Same reason Ohtani and Mahomes are hated. Both are genuinely good dudes that have also been the best players in their sports this decade. Hell, I’ll throw A’ja Wilson in there too if we’re staying on that topic.
Yep I hate mahomes bc he puts ketchup on his steak and his wife is annoying, but that’s really it. I mostly hate him bc he’s so good lol
Don’t really hate Mahomes, but boy is his wife insufferable. I don’t understand how someone who seems so easy going would end up with someone like that.
People actually hate Ohtani…?
Besides random people who think he had something to do with his interpereter’s gambling stuff, I don’t think I’ve actually heard a bad word about him.
I’m from San Diego and can confirm everyone hates him bc he’s so good. But also we hate everyone associated with the dodgers by default
lol wtf people hate Bron and SGA bc they’re good guys? I always thought they were just butthurt about them beating their team, a Jordan fanboy, and/or find their fans annoying and take it out on the players.
I should’ve rephrased it that he’s hated in spite of being a good dude. But when you hate someone for being so good at a sport you start making up reasons to hate them for their personal life. Like I hated LeBron and thought “the decision” was like a war crime lmao. Now looking back at it LeBron couldn’t have been a better role model for the youth.
Oh ok yeah that’s makes a lot of sense, def agree with you
Nobody hates him “because hes a good dude”, the people who hate him hate him despite of that.
The irony being that, if the spurs do beat the thunder this season as this sub seems to overwhelmingly desire, there is nothing stopping them from becoming the very dynasty they so strongly oppose.
Chet must have gotten Nick Gallo’s trench coat by mistake
Consummate pro, great leader for his team, incredibly skilled player.
I hate him lol
ETA - I honestly think I’d hate him way less if he wasn’t on the Thunder haha
Stupid Sexy Shai
Serious question, why does him being on the Thunder make it worse? I didn’t think that franchise had made enemies yet
If the franchise has made any enemies over the last 20 years, it’s the Spurs. Had some pretty great playoff battles in the KD/Russ era
Exactly. They were the crazy young upstarts towards the ends of our dynasty and they were the team that knocked out Timmy in his last season.
Then there’s Sam Presti. He came up in the Spurs organization and he’s brilliant and I hate that he would share his talents elsewhere.
Then there’s Chip Engelland. He came up in the Spurs organization and he’s brilliant and I hate that he would share his talents elsewhere.
Additionally, they keep adding players that I’m very high on. I followed the draft very closely during our down years and I was very high on both Jalen Williams and Cason Wallace. Also my parents went to A&M and I remember watching Caruso back in the day and his BBIQ was always so high.
I hate them because I respect them and have a healthy fear of them.
I respect the Spurs, still hate the Rockets more. The Wemby elbow did start shifting my feelings a bit though.
Texans and Oklahomans are easy enemies.
Yeah big time.
Just like Texans and Arkansans, or Texans and Californians! Or Texans and other Texans!
Damn Texans, they ruined Texas
That franchise made at least one city’s worth of enemies about eighteen years ago…
i mean helps that we knocked out the 11-12 and the 15-16 spurs, both of which looked like very real championship contenders. and 11-12 that team was up 2-0 before we ran 4 straight on em.
and for all the success they’ve had over the last ~30 years we’re actually up in playoff series (2-1), which not many teams out West can say
I feel like most Shai haters would adore him like we do if he was on their team getting buckets lol
Trench coat on chet just looks like a jacket lol
Spent more on that then Ajay’s whole deal is worth.
I think all of it is a bit over half a million dollars.
And 99% of that would be the watches
Endear yourself to your people, and they’ll follow you to the ends of the earth. Wholesome dude. Congratulations, now BRING IT ON!
I want to hate this guy because okc just beat us up, but there’s really absolutely nothing you can say about this guy other than “He FlOPsSss NoT mY MvP”. Absolute class act on and off the court.
This is unironic power of friendship making the difference. Not sure if it’s Caruso who said there’s not much to do in OKC so these guys just hang out together all the time.
Let’s see which power of friendship is greater tonight.
A lot of them have mentioned it, last year on the starting 5 series it felt like half the time the team just hung out at his house lol
Gotta be one of the youngest WCF were getting tonight
E: Well it is. Average age between both teams is about 25.
Does that account for minutes played? Genuinely asking because the Spurs have some guy at the end of the bench who are 32+ doing some heavy lifting to the average
I saw some spurs fan boasting about how they made it with absolutely 0 experience and I kinda felt bad for the big Kornet and Harrison Barnes lmao
U should post this lol that’s an insane fact
Jared McCain gotta feel like he won the lottery ten times over lol
Weird how the most calm/friendly players are viewed as worst people alive just cause they winning, no abuser, no drama off court yet they are hated as individuals a lot
People might think this is lame but its things like this that make them dominant. Great team vibes
I do see some comments finding this corny af lmao
Great player and leader, knows how to act like the big dog at the club
No hate but Shai is such a PXG guy
Oh shit, he went there
How did he have this planned already when they just announced he was the MVP yesterday? Maybe they called and told him before it was publicly announced?
Either way, he’s a great dude, but I still hate him when he is on the court tho, lol.
It was an open secret for weeks due to the polls alone.
It’s been known for a couple months that he’ll win MVP again, based on the straw polls that espn does. The straw poll basically asks some of the MVP voters who they’ll vote for, so the straw poll results are almost always the final results.
This is why it was so funny seeing endless threads and posts arguing the case for Luka, Jokic, or Wemby, when they never had a chance according to the straw poll results.
I mean he was the only consistent player mentioned in the mvp race it was clear as day plus come on he scored at least 20 points every game the entire season
not that hard to figure out but i do like the idea of a bunch of Nuggets player-customized gift packages getting sent out to the third world like the Super Bowl loser shirts lmao
Lol some kids in Africa getting framed portraits of horses
He’s been MVP since he dropped the winner on the Nuggets. The media did a good job of keeping the conversation alive but that’s sort of just their job
He might be corny at times but he’s a great teammate.
McCain is such a great pick. Just for the vibes he brings he’s already a plus
These guys really do play for eachother and that’s scary.
J-mac just got a bag full of goodies
People acting like it’s some big mystery that he knew he was gonna win MVP when half the voters are media personalities that openly announce who they voted for
From all the interviews that I have seen him in and all the games that I have seen him play, he seems like a chill dude
He’s a millionaire with connections. He can get all this done in a few hours.
and it’s good advertising for the brands gifted
Maybe not the custom themed iphones.
Trench coat look like a normal coat on Chet
Dog McCain can’t believe his luck lol
Jared McCain being a bird. I see them repeating
He def got Chet’s size wrong
Inspector gadget is all that I was thinking
Jared out here living his best life
NBA Money’s insane
SGA seems such a good vibe person to have in your circle
Noooo!!! I want to hate these guys. Why do they look so fun and cool??
Wonder how long he’s known? You don’t get personalized gifts that quick.
Custom sown golf bags and a bunch of other stuff is a really great touch. This team really cares about one another. Fuck this future dynasty 🫠
bruh atleast get chet a longer trench coat 😂
They should all wear the jackets to game 1
Where’s this from? Reddit cuts the video short for whatever reason
Thunder instagram should have it
Giving Chet the windbreaker is diabolical
Seems like a pretty awesome leader
Lmao why he do chet like that? Mfer looks like he’s wearing a bomber jacket.
This is cool as shit. Go Spurs!
Curious how many players in the past have gifted their teammates like this when they won MVP?
Very good dude, very good team, very chill people, very deserved awards, in a trajectory to be an All timer, I just don’t like the way they play the game that I love.
Those look like Burberry trench coats and are like $3000 a piece.
https://us.burberry.com/mid-length-kensington-heritage-trench-coat-p81172311
What did he give them? A golf bag and a trench coat? Is this a reference I don’t understand?
Jared Mcain hit the jackpot, he fits like a glove with this team.
I don’t like this team but I do love how they genuinely really seem like they all are really cool with each other
Imagine already being rich and having rich people buy you more lavish stuff
God I hate this team but this is dope
For a team that’s been a fashion disaster for several years now, it’s a nice change of pace to see SGA get everyone the classic Burberry double breasted trench.
man fuck this guy he’s so cool and nice to his teammates and legitimately cares about their well-being, what a good dude i hate him
Jared must be the most likeable dude. Just walks into a locker room and everyone seems to love him.
The “Iceman, Iceman!” For the Spotify premium is heaps funny.
Shai should of got MVP for sure, and his team deserved his gifts! Love that about the video… but my question is how far in advance is he notified that he won, where he can go out and get these custom shirts, phone cases and what not made to give out to his team? Ever since the All Star Break, they acted as if the MVP award was still in the air as to who would get it, but I’m just thinking he had at least a weeks notice, right? This video seems to be on the same exact day they give him the MVP award, right?
He has an entire team that can buy this stuff at a moment’s notice. This type of money has no limits.
He has “fuck you money”^2. He could buy that early and not blink.
Bro money has money
No idea, but there’s a reasonable chance that he was going to gift his teammates all that stuff even if the MVP didn’t go to him, if he already arranged it in advance.
What makes for better discourse, debating MVP or saying Shai ran away with it by January? Of course they acted like it was up for debate, what are they going to talk about.
Really though, multiple straw polls were done and those with votes provided their input. It’s like voting in an election and it getting called when only 45% of the votes are in.
Now all they need is some Fedoras.
I’d love if this was like the incorrect superbowl winner T-shirts, where all the gifts that Luka Jokic and Wemby got for their teammates get sent to some third world country
Now I am just jealous because he is not part of my team
The Real Club Shai Shai
Did he get them golf bags and not any clubs?
Probably booked the fittings since it seems like a sponsor deal
Yes, you get fit for PXG. Not an off the rack set of clubs.
That’s sick
How did he get these made so quickly?
SGA with a normal fi for once.
JDub in pajama pants. Lol.
Where do I find those t shirts they were wearing?
PXG tho?
Best one of these i’ve ever seen. They’re all so into it too. Damn
This is awesome, Shai is a good dude.
I want to see Jokic win another one and gift each of his teammates a horse. Oh, not everyone has a farm with a stable to keep the horse? Shit…
Vibes are indeed immaculate
he’s the real mvp
Imagine making millions of dollars
I can’t wait to see what gifts he has for the refs!
Jokic getting robbed again even if they lost in 1st round boy was ballin
Despite the hate, SGA is a great teammate anyone would love to have
