As for the models in question, it appears as though Williams is donning a two-toned Sea-Dweller in Oystersteel and yellow gold, featuring a Cerachrom bezel insert in black ceramic (priced at $20,300, per the Rolex website). The other timepieces seem to be the Datejust 36, with both a Jubilee bracelet ($14,400) and an Oyster bracelet ($13,650) on display, a Sky-Dweller in Oystersteel and white gold ($16,600), and a Submariner Date with a royal-blue dial ($17,600).
Gilgeous-Alexander didn't stop there. The Canadian also gifted his fellow teammates iPhones, Beats by Dr. Dre headphones, and custom Canada Goose jackets with an embroidered patch commemorating the Thunder's 68-14 regular season record. In total, the gift basket is worth well over $10,000, according to Hypebeast. It seems like for the star point guard, the price was well worth it.

'I can't say enough how much you guys mean to me, and not only as a basketball player, but as family,' Gilgeous-Alexander said in his MVP acceptance speech, according to Complex. 'I know you guys know that we do everything together, on and off the court, we do shopping, we eat. You guys are really like my brothers . . . Without you guys, none of this would be possible. I want you guys to know that this award is your award, too.'
This isn't the first time an MVP win has spawned a Rolex. James Harden gifted teammate Joel Emid a $41,500 Day-Date 40 in Everrose gold when the latter snagged the most valuable player award for the 2033-23 season with the Philadelphia 76ers—including a custom '2023 MVP' engraved on the caseback. Of course, presents for teammates appears in other sports, too: Patrick Mahomes gave his offensive line what appeared to be a stainless-steel Datejust 41 with a white dial and Jubilee bracelet for Christmas last year. We'll have to see if the NBA Finals MVP doles out an equally lavish gift to his squad.

Angels Announce Major Mike Trout Decision on Friday
Angels Announce Major Mike Trout Decision on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. On Friday, the Los Angeles Angels made a significant roster announcement on their official Instagram account. "OFFICIAL: Mike Trout has been reinstated from the IL," the post read. Advertisement The move reunites the three-time American League MVP with a club that has been searching for a spark ever since Trout landed on the injured list with a bone bruise on his surgically repaired left knee at the end of April. The Angels' decision to activate Trout comes after a 10-day IL stint that saw Matthew Lugo optioned to Triple-A to clear roster space. Trout has not appeared in a game since May 1, when he jammed his knee in an attempt to sprint to first base in the third inning. In the days leading up to Friday's announcement, the outfielder resumed running and taking batting practice, prompting optimism in the Angels' clubhouse despite the team's uneven play. Advertisement Trout has been the heart and soul of the Angels since his MLB debut on July 8, 2011. Over 15 seasons, Trout holds a career batting average of .297 with 1,667 hits, 387 home runs, 972 RBIs and 214 stolen bases. His trophy case includes three American League MVPs, 11 All-Star selections, nine Silver Slugger awards and two AL Hank Aaron Awards (2014, 2019). Los Angeles Angels outfielder Mike Trout (27)Troy Taormina-Imagn Images Through 55 games in 2025, the Angels sit at 25-30, fourth in the AL West and five games behind the division-leading Mariners with a .455 winning percentage that ranks near the bottom of the American League. Following Wednesday's loss to the New York Yankees, LA is currently on a five-game losing streak. Advertisement While Friday's series opener against the Cleveland Guardians marks Trout's on-field return, the true measure will be whether he can stay healthy and lead the Angels on a meaningful run toward the second half of the season.

Nick Wright's ‘all-time' take will catch Thunder's fans' attention
The post Nick Wright's 'all-time' take will catch Thunder's fans' attention appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Oklahoma City Thunder are heading to the NBA Finals after having one of the best teams in the league this year. Throughout the season, the Thunder showed that they were dominant on both sides of the ball, and their net rating was the best in the league. Also, they had Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the team, who won MVP for what he was able to accomplish. Advertisement With all of this, Nick Wright shared a take where he thinks the Thunder had a great single season, but won't put them on the pedestal as an all-time team. 'They are four wins away from one of the single greatest seasons in NBA history… I am okay with saying this is an all-time single season, I am not okay with saying this is an all-time team,' Wright said. 'Because what the other all-time teams had was multiple finals appearances, multiple championships, and the teams kind of bleed together.' The Thunder are the fourth team to enter the Finals with 80 wins, and they beat teams all season by an average of 13 points, which Wright gave them credit for. There are still some things that he isn't quite sold on, and it was their path to get to the Finals, and if Gilgeous-Alexander should be considered an all-time player. Advertisement In Wright's case, in order for them to be considered an all-time team, they need to keep winning for years to come. Can the Thunder become an all-time team? The Thunder have the pieces in place to be a team that could be dangerous for years to come. Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren are still on their rookie deals, and that bodes well for them from a cap space perspective, because they could possibly go out and get some more talent if they wanted to. As currently constructed, this team hasn't hit its prime yet, and they could be at the top of the Western Conference for years to come. Gilgeous-Alexander is still young and has already won MVP, and it could be more coming his way if he continues to get better. This core group has the chance to do something special while they're still young, and it wouldn't be a surprise if they ended up being the next dynasty in the league in the next few years. They'll have to keep winning at a high level, and they have the talent to do so.
