Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just led the Oklahoma City Thunder to a win in the 9-10 play-in game to bring his squad one win closer to making the playoffs.
Prior to the game, Snoop Dogg picked Shai as his choice for season MVP, jokingly claiming that SGA’s game is similar to his own game.
“I kinda like that kid from OKC, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He’s a sleeper man, he’s not a big-name kid but the way he plays, he plays like Snoop Dogg. He kinda reminds me of me.”
“He kind of remind me of me.”

The Thunder beat the New Orleans Pelicans 123-118 to become the second 10th seed to win their game tonight after the Bulls beat the Raptors. The Thunder will be feeling motivated to go into Minnesota and then clinch the 8th seed to prove all their doubters wrong.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leading The Thunder To A New Playoff Era
SGA has played in the playoffs with OKC in his first season with the team and now, he’ll be hoping to be the leader of his squad in their current push. The Thunder have the youngest squad in the NBA and most expected them to tank for Victor Wembanyama this season. Instead, they are one win away from taking on the Denver Nuggets in a 7-game series.
The 2022-23 All-NBA First Team could possibly have Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on it for his efforts this season, ensuring the franchise wouldn’t tank for a third straight season. He has averaged 31.4 points, 5.5 assists, and 4.8 rebounds this season while establishing himself as one of the best young guards in the league. A playoff run is gonna be historic for the Thunder in their current state, so this young squad will be pushing as hard as possible to beat the Wolves on Friday.
