In a heartwarming gesture, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander successfully negotiated with Larry Nance Jr. to secure the game ball for Thunder rookie Alex Reese, who scored his first NBA points.
Reese, a forward for the Thunder, made his mark in the league by scoring his first points in a game against the Atlanta Hawks. The moment was a significant milestone for the young player, who has been working hard to establish himself in the NBA.
SGA, known for his leadership and team-oriented mindset, took it upon himself to ensure that Reese received the game ball as a memento of his achievement.
The gesture highlights the incredible support and the great vibes within the Thunder organization, as well as SGA’s commitment to fostering a positive and encouraging environment for the team’s younger players.
After the game, and some barking, Reese expressed his gratitude for the gesture, calling it a “special moment” and a motivation to continue working hard.
