Dressed in a breezy, oversized white T-shirt, SGA gave off a laid-back vibe that aligned seamlessly with the 79°F heat sweeping through Indiana. The T-shirt's loose fit was seemingly a nod to athleisure culture that NBA stars have popularized in recent years.
Matching it with knee-length basketball shorts adorned in white with blue and black vertical stripes, and a star emblem near the hem, the look felt like a custom tribute to Oklahoma City's blue-and-white team colors.
His footwear, light blue sneakers with a chunky sole, added the right modern edge, effortlessly syncing with his outfit's color scheme. It appears that it was his signature Converse SHAI 001.
Further, a gray backpack thrown over one shoulder served as a practical travel companion, while a backward dark cap added the signature youthful edge that has come to define SGA's off-court presence.
While his outfit turned heads, his performance in Game 2 has Thunder fans believing this might be their year.
Gilgeous-Alexander logged 36 minutes, torching the Pacers for 34 points on 11-of-21 shooting, including 1-of-4 from deep. He also dished out 8 assists, pulled down 5 boards, racked up 4 steals, and even added a block.
Fans reacted to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's hot summer look
Several fans reacted to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's stunning look as he was about to set his journey to Indianapolis.
'I just fainted,' one fan wrote.
Another showered best wishes for Game 3, 'Let's go @okcthunder and @shaiglalex — get two road game wins and bring the championship home Monday! #ThunderUp.'
'Epic,' one user reacted to the style with a fire emoji.
'Aura,' another wrote simply.
Remarkably, SGA has now scored 72 points on just 51 shots in his first two Finals games, breaking Allen Iverson's long-standing record of 71 points on 70 shots.
