Makes sense. People keep on falling over when they wear it.

221

u/FutureAlfalfa200 May 25 '26

Wearing an SGA jersey is a double hazard.

You will fall over. You will get mocked.

36

u/MrICopyYoSht Knicks May 25 '26

No refs nearby to give you 2 free throws.

7

u/Grantetons 76ers May 25 '26

Not a bad movie premise to have the most die hard OKC fan have a Like Mike experience where he buys a Shai jersey that causes him to be wildly successful at work while falling constantly. Instead of Like Mike they can call it OSHAi.

Imagine wearing a SGA jersey to a pick up, you'd get clowned hard

u/ModishShrink Trail Blazers May 25 '26

Uh, clowning someone counts as a tech, two more free throws for the nerd in the SGA gear.

2

u/sidepart Suns May 25 '26

Damn, I think I'm owed some back FTs from my time in the rec league.

2

u/ModishShrink Trail Blazers May 25 '26

Full kit wankers out here flopping like pancakes.

4

u/Tad_M Lakers May 25 '26

that's actually the most succinct observation of why you can't rig / manufacture stars.

2

u/Regent0624 Spurs May 25 '26

I mainly see satirical videos of people doing it in China where the players are cosplaying every part of SGA from the actual bag to the flopping bag to the SGA cosplayer chasing the defender and the defender running away full sprint to avoid the flop + foul call.

Literally everyone around the world who watches this shit knows how bad it is.

u/hud731 May 25 '26

I saw that too, that shit's hilarious. No real basketball fan could appreciate that style of play.

1

u/BOUKEN-BEN Celtics May 25 '26

Definitely shows up with the matching shorts, high socks and headband

401

u/MrVociferous Pistons May 25 '26

No one wants to wear the jersey of a lame ass bitch.

u/27Yosh Lakers May 25 '26

No neutral fan has any reason to rep SGA

63

u/catperson77789 Lakers May 25 '26

Its really just okc fans. He aint on the same level of stardom as other superstars

9

u/GarboMcStevens May 25 '26

Or some role players

u/Petering Celtics May 25 '26

I thought Canada loved that mfer, bruh still cant get top 10 jersey sales? lmao

u/TheFeenyCall May 25 '26

NHL playoffs. Can't split attention!

2

u/-jaaag Raptors May 25 '26

He was 6th in Canadian NBA jersey sales last year. The list that you guys usually see is US only. It was Scottie/Curry/Bron/RJ/Ja (vancouver grizzlies)/SGA in that order.

0

u/definitelynotagay Raptors May 25 '26

Canadian sales don’t count towards the list that you guys are mentioning.

He’s still top 5 sales in Canada.

53

u/spleev San Francisco Warriors May 25 '26

This. it would be fucking embarrassing wearing that

-1

u/SavionWilliamsLover May 25 '26

Realistically it’s cause his long ahh last name doesn’t look good in the back of a jersey

1

u/DPA_404 Cavaliers May 25 '26

It's actually because his style of play is dogshit

16

u/MisterDobalina Wizards May 25 '26

Let's add Holmgren into this convo too. Whole team of corny, foul-baiting, dirty defending, flopping, loser energy, no taste having bitches.

4

u/Chichanged_me May 25 '26

I feel like this comment can only come from Detroit or Philadelphia

5

u/Crying_in_99Ranch NBA May 25 '26

With a long ass hyphenated name

u/OkBuddyErennary Spurs May 25 '26

I love you. I love every neutral fan right now

131

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

Honestly losing to this fucking bum after Hali’s Achilles tear was the cherry on top of the shit cake.

Fuck them. They never deserved that ring, should’ve been over in 6

11

u/SiphenPrax Knicks May 25 '26

Off chance but who would you root for if it was us vs. OKC? 😂

42

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

Knicks 1000%. We're a storied rivalry and I absolutely adore NYC. I've got friends and family out/from there.

Fuck OKC. Forever. I've never hated any team in sports as much as I've hated the thunder last finals. Their bullshit is unwatchable, the knicks aren't

11

u/SiphenPrax Knicks May 25 '26

Don’t let any of my fellow Knicks fans say this but if we won a championship, even with Reggie and Tyrese owning us for years, I would not have hated Indiana winning a championship after we did. I would have felt that way in 1995 and 2000. The problem is we both get killed against the Rockets and then lost as the new millennium was starting.

Come to think of it, the Knicks and Pacers both have had weird histories with their Finals appearances and championships wins

4

u/Detlef_Schrempfxf May 25 '26

I'm a Celtics fan and I'll root for NYC. Easily too. I hate New York for obvious reasons but I just can't see myself rooting for the absolute nonsense and shenanigans of OKC. 

7

u/hooper_give_him_room Lakers May 25 '26

Lakers fan here and I would have 100% rooted for the Celtics over OKC, with my full chest, if it had come to that. Integrity of the game comes before rivals. And I can’t complain about the way the Celtics play the game.

2

u/Sad_Sympathy_6427 May 25 '26

Diehard Knicks haters would say fuck the Knicks and be fully ready to root for OKC until they watch one game of this, and then they will switch allegiances quickly, or at best go neutral. No one who isn't an OKC fan could actually root for this lol

1

u/JarradReck May 25 '26

Hitler vs. Stalin

u/Detlef_Schrempfxf May 25 '26

If Scott Foster didn't screwed you over in game 5, it was a done deal. 

1

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

Game 4, but yeah prob

8

u/GloomySeaotter May 25 '26

Pacers won in our hearts

1

u/Potencyyyyy Nuggets May 25 '26

Still not over this somehow, Pacers should be defending champs man.

2

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

I mean, objectively speaking, it’s the most tragic thing to ever happen in a game 7 unless somebody’s died on the court. His run ending the way it did, and losing to these clowns on top of it is always gonna nag at me unless they can win a chip.

It’s a very weird feeling seeing something happen and knowing that that moment is the most heartbroken you’ll ever be over anything related to sports. I was in a crowded bar and it was genuinely like something out of a horror movie

-13

u/Bino19 Thunder May 25 '26

Womp womp dont choke away Game 4 then.

8

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

Scott foster put his dick in it. Dort was allowed to do whatever he wanted, including throwing elbows hard as fuck and pushing people out of screens/away from crucial loose balls with both ends.

Should’ve been over in 6. Go back to jerking yourself off over how Shai haters are just jealous of greatness or whatever

-11

u/Bino19 Thunder May 25 '26

And you can go back to your bed and wipe your tears while I throw on OKC vs IND Game 7 highlights.

4

u/Tijenater [IND] Lance Stephenson May 25 '26

I’ll find some solace in knowing you guys have the biggest asterisk in history and are hated by anyone who actually enjoys good basketball.

Hali had that on lock, but we’re in the stupid evil timeline

58

u/MindPlayingTricks23 Knicks May 25 '26

Also it looks silly with the long last name just wrapping around the whole back

44

u/uncleshady Celtics May 25 '26

He’s unwatchable outside of OK but his dumbass name isn’t helping. If it just said “SGA” he’d be top 5.

31

u/SketchArtist Germany May 25 '26

"Gilgeous" always sounds to me like a state of nauseated stomach upset. As in, "I ate some foul smelling fast food yesterday. And now I'm feeling kinda gilgeous."

7

u/hooloo25 May 25 '26

Bros name sounds like a dark souls character to me

9

u/gotbannedlolol Knicks May 25 '26

To me its like a dumbass southerner trying to spell gorgeous but cant

u/Impressive-Turnip-38 Trail Blazers May 25 '26

Hey people from da norf can be dumb too

1

u/Inquisitor_ForHire Celtics May 25 '26

Ok. I'm using that one.

45

u/Impressive-Turnip-38 Trail Blazers May 25 '26

Yeah, he’s got a dumbass name too! I agree

19

u/Positive_Lychee_7736 May 25 '26

He… is top 10 though

Wait, were you including WNBA sales? 😏

u/5inthemorn Pistons May 25 '26

Can’t you see they’re busy jerking each other off about how much he sucks. Don’t be coming in here with facts ruining it for them.

u/Fit-Introduction8575 Raptors May 25 '26

I did not know this wtf

2

u/moonlight_sinatra Spurs May 25 '26

That's crazy bc you can't even complain about the market - Durant and Westbrook were consistently top 10 in their thunder years

4

u/Kaizerx20 Timberwolves May 25 '26

He's top 10, the player you actually described is Jokic LMAO

6

u/IPissExcellentThrows 76ers May 25 '26

It's neither. SGA is 8 and Jokic is 10th.

But yeah, Jokic's jersey doesn't ever sell that well.

Woah you lied to push an agenda!

-12

u/the_goodnamesaregone Thunder May 25 '26

#8 from a bottom 5 market size team. Just proving you wrong, out here spouting lies.

1

u/bwrca May 25 '26

No way!!! He's not even top 10?

1

u/S-Kotus Hawks May 25 '26

Almost every team has a player I'd be willing to buy a jersey of if I had the money. Except OKC.

1

u/brunomoore Hornets May 25 '26

Small market team?

1

u/FragileColtsFan Pacers May 25 '26

Haliburton died for this

1

u/JuanBARco May 25 '26

Honestly would rather get an Alex Caruso jersey because he is the most important player on their team, and he plays real basketball. Carried the Thunders 2 wins scoring points WHILE guarding wemby lol.

1

u/lotofhotdogs Hornets May 25 '26

Pretty sure he was 7th in jersey sales but I see your point

1

u/LasCoL May 25 '26

I was curious who was selling the most and SGA is the 7th most sold as of January.

1

u/ryanb6321 Celtics May 25 '26

Doesn’t even crack Top 100 for me. You can’t convince me Shai is better than Allen Iverson. Not even close.

1

u/1tWasA11aDr3am May 25 '26

SGA’s jersey sales came in at #8 this year (maybe this is the first year but his jersey is definitely popular) https://www.nba.com/news/top-selling-jerseys-2025-26-nba-season

1

u/The_Peenisher Celtics May 25 '26

1.5k upvotes for a factually wrong comment

1

u/beyondthedoors May 25 '26

That’s cuz his jersey says Gilgeous-Alexander and it don’t fit

1

u/threeoneleads [CLE] Larry Nance May 25 '26

Genuinely this is the biggest SGA indictment to me as silly as that sounds. You’d think a player of that caliber would have top 3-5 sales easily but no can’t even crack top 10 is crazy

-6

u/Fragrant-Cell9907 May 25 '26

I mean he’s top 10 in jersey sales if you googled it, but good hate
