Chet Holmgren and the various members of the Oklahoma City Thunder team attended Alex Caruso’s wedding on August 10, 2025. Caruso tied the knot with Haleigh Broucher after announcing his engagement in August 2024. 

The NBA champion Chet Holmgren pulled up in a white suit with a red shirt and gold chains. This bizarre outfit at the wedding was turning heads online, as well as fans made fun of him. 

“Chet dressed like a Miami drug lord.”

“I thought you were not supposed to wear white to a wedding, or is that only a girl thing?”

“Chet always roleplaying n**** looks like an 80s mob boss.”

“Why is he wearing white to someone else’s wedding? That’s so rude.”

“Why is Chet dressed like a ’70s p*** star?”

“Bro, Chet, you’re not Tony Montana,” said a fan hilariously as he pointed out how similar Holmgren looked to the iconic character of Al Pacino from Scarface, the movie. 

“Chet always looks like a Baltic Mob Boss from the 80s.”

“If I had seen this yesterday, I would’ve sworn Chet was trying to sell me jewelry at the mall.”

“Chet looks like a Las Vegas-themed Vampire.”

The No. 2 pick of the 2022 NBA Draft, Holmgren signed a five-year, $250 million extension with the Thunder earlier this summer, matching similar terms as Paolo Banchero, the No. 1 pick in the 2022 NBA Draft, in a rookie-max extension.

Holmgren is expected to earn as high as $54.6 million in the 2030-31 season. While NBA legends like Shaquille O’Neal believe Holmgren has not done enough to be considered as a part of the Thunder’s “big three”, the Thunder’s front office seems to disagree. 

In the Thunder’s championship-winning season, Holmgren played only 32 games in the regular season, where he averaged 15.0 points, 8.0 rebounds, and 2.0 assists per game while playing 27 minutes a night. 

During the 2025 Playoffs, Holmgren averaged 15.2 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks in 23 games played to help the Thunder win their first-ever NBA championship. While it is arguable that Holmgren has not really reached the superstar status yet, the contract extension was the Thunder’s way of telling him that they have faith in him for the long term

While Holmgren’s impact on the floor is not that visible on the box score, the best players who have faced the Thunder have credited him as being the difference-maker for the Thunder. Do you think Holmgren has the potential to be a superstar with the Thunder? In my opinion, while he does have the potential, he is nowhere close to his ceiling yet.
