Oklahoma City Thunder players decided to have some fun with their beloved sideline reporter, Nick Gallo, after their 118-102 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday night.
As Gallo conducted an interview with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, several teammates, including Jalen Williams, Lu Dort, Aaron Wiggins, and Jaylin Williams, began piling towels on Gallo’s shoulders and head.
Despite the growing pile of towels, Gallo remained professional and kept his composure throughout the interview. The antics continued until SGA finally stepped in, realizing the situation had gotten out of hand.
“Y’all, you got to chill,” SGA said to his teammates, adding, “I’m sorry Nick. They’re children, I’m so sorry.”
Nick Gallo is truly the standard.
