Shai Gilgeous-Alexander gave Kai Cenat a signed jersey after the second game this Sunday night at the Paycom Center.
In videos circulating online, shortly after the Oklahoma City Thunder secured a win against the Indiana Pacers in Game 2, the NBA player met with the renowned streamer. He handed him a signed jersey before Cenat congratulated him on the Thunder's win.
"Chill, I was smiling!” Shai can be heard saying in one video, uploaded by FearBuck.
Here's everything you need to know about this week's Game 2 as Shai manages to achieve several new feats:
In the wake of their Game 1 loss, Shai, an All-NBA guard, delivered a 34-point performance. He went 11-of-21 from the field, in addition to scoring eight assists, five rebounds, and four steals. He is now tied with Wilt “The Human Record Book” Chamberlain for the most consecutive home playoff games, seeing as he has at least 30 points, nine in total.
Shai is also credited with leading the team to a notable 123-107 win over the Indiana Pacers this weekend, which in turn leveled the best-of-seven series NBA Finals at 1-1. Furthermore, he managed to pass Allen Iverson for the most points ever scored in an NBA player's initial two games at the Finals, totaling a combined 72 points. During his ABC postgame interview, he said:
"We used the opportunity to get better. We've done a really good job of that all year." As for what he had to say about his new feat: “I would trade the points for 2 W’s, for sure… You can’t go back in the past, you can only try to make the future better.” Despite this, he's gearing up for Game 3: "We did some things good tonight, we did some things bad. We've gotta be able to get better and get ready for Game 3."
As for Kai Cenat, he was spotted sitting courtside at the NBA Finals alongside his girlfriend. The former is known for his dominating presence on Twitch, where he boasts a staggering 17 million followers. He is also the most-subscribed-to user on the streaming platform. He was spotted at the game in standout clothing: Some plaid pants, Uggs, a white graphic t-shirt, and a fuzzy green hat.
The team will now head to Indianapolis for Game 3, scheduled for this Wednesday night. While the Thunder will look to keep their winning streak going, expectations for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are soaring.
