Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gifts Game-Worn Jersey to Young Fan

In the middle of his 35-point performance against the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday, a fan caught the attention of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander with a simple question: “Can I have your jersey after the game?”

Fan celebrated his 12 -year birthday, and Oklahoma City Thunder Star committed himself and told him “something for you.” Gilgeous-Alexander remained true to his word and went to a fan after a 118-108 victory in the Moda Center.

He took off the shirt and then used the fans back to autograph it before handing it over to them. The fan continued to jump around and say thank you as Gilgeous-Alexander gave him a fist skin.

The tab was already wearing Thunder Guard’s City Edition uniform, but memorably added an association edition one for its collection.

Gilgeous-Alexander is in the middle of an MVP-worthy season, on average a career high 32.1 points for the league-leading thunder. His performance Sunday marked his ninth 30-plus point game in January.
