Shai Gilgeous-Alexander agrees with those that think team success should factor into All Star voting, can the #Thunder be good enough to get him to Salt Lake City this winter? #ThunderUp:

“It’s just preseason” disclaimer:
Hard not to be excited about the performances of this young core if you’re an OKC fan.
And the two biggest perceived pieces of the core, SGA and Chet Holmgren, didn’t even play a minute. – 10:44 PM

Really interested to see Poku in lineups with Giddey and SGA this season – 8:49 PM

Before you go, what did your phone look like when Drake posted you on Instagram? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: [Laughs] It wasn’t too crazy. It wasn’t what you would think it would be. Me and him are cool. He’s a cool guy. He’s a really good guy. I’ve been on his Instagram story multiple times, so I don’t think it was like a first-time thing. My phone wasn’t too crazy. People have seen it before. -via For The Win / October 16, 2022
On the topic of influences: What role did Allen Iverson play in your life? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander: Yeah! On the court, he was obviously super electric. He had the crowd buzzing every time he stepped on the floor. He was an extreme talent. He amazed the world. Off the court, when he challenged the dress code and went against the norm, that goes back to what I said before about not being scared to challenge the boundaries. That was one of the main reasons why A.I. is who he is. He was never scared to be himself, no matter the situation. That set him apart from the group. -via For The Win / October 16, 2022
