Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gifts Teammates Rolexes After Winning MVP Award: 'This Is What They Deserve'
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the NBA MVP this year, and he's also up 2-0 in the Western Conference Finals against the Minnesota Timberwolves. Neither of those accolades would be possible without his Oklahoma City Thunder teammates, and on Wednesday afternoon, he shared his appreciation with them along with some well-earned gifts. Once the squad opened their gifts, they found Rolexes among the pricey items. They immediately tightened them around their wrists and flexed them on social media. Shams Charania explained the depth of Gilgeous-Alexander's gift, including that it was worth well over $10,000 and that everyone on the team, including those on two-way contracts, received one. Digging deeper into the gift bags also revealed iPhones, Beats by Dre headphones, and Canada Goose jackets that featured custom embroidered patches commemorating the team's 68-14 record. In his MVP press conference, Gilgeous-Alexander explained how a conversation with Jalen Williams helped him decide on wrist pieces to thank his teammates. 'He was like, 'Two, what are you gonna get us when you win MVP?' And it's a crazy question to ask, but I don't know what brought it up — watches were in the conversation. A lot of guys on the team like watches. Who doesn't like watches?' he remembers. 'And then I said yes — which was silly on my part. But as I got closer to achieving the goal, I was like, 'Wait a second, I actually have to do what I said I was going to do.' So I made it happen.' He may have dropped a bag, but he knows how critical the team's success was to the MVP honor, so he considers it a small token. He continued, 'But this is nothing compared to what they've been to me. I'd rather have the MVP over a Rolex every day of the week — and without them, I wouldn't have the MVP. So this is, in the slightest, what they deserve.' The Thunder are scheduled to play game three on the road against the Timberwolves in Minnesota on Saturday. The team is en route to its first finals appearance since 2012 and possibly its second championship in franchise history. See social media's response to SGA winning the MVP award below.

Angel Reese Gifts Every Sky Teammate Before Caitlin Clark Game
Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese parlayed her incredible prowess on the basketball court last season into a myriad of endorsement deals and business ventures away from the game. The WNBA's leader in rebounds per contest made the All-Star team and was second in Rookie of the Year Award voting, but she continued to pull together accolades this offseason. Advertisement Reese started her own podcast to connect with her fans, but she also signed with brands like Reebok, Amazon, Beats by Dre and more. This sudden spike in notoriety landed her a spot on the cover of Vogue Magazine and another appearance at the Met Gala in New York City. Chicago Sky forward Angel Reese (5).Kamil Krzaczynski-Imagn Images The second-year forward is still highly focused on basketball, however. Her and her Chicago Sky teammates are just days away from their season opener against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. To lighten the mood after what was surely a serious practice, Reese surprised her teammates with a gift. She leaned on her deal with Beats by Dre and gave each one of her teammates a Beats Pill. This kind of recognition and appreciation from a star player can really help with the camaraderie of a team. When a group of players is united before they head into a matchup, they tend to play better, and this is the exact blueprint that Reese was following by giving her teammates a sliver of her endorsement deal. Advertisement Things will get serious in a hurry, however, as the Sky play in a big time game against the Fever to open the 2025 campaign on May 17. The league has pitted these two rising teams against each other as rivals, which makes sense both geographically and in terms of where these two teams stand. Clark and the Fever are trying to prove that they belong in the upper tier of WNBA teams. The Sky are attempting to make a push for the postseason this year, so both franchises have plenty to show the league and its fans on opening night.

Beats by Dre Expands Its Pill People Family With Angel Reese and Daniel Ricciardo
When the Pill People first debuted in an ad campaign a decade ago, Beats by Dre had a surprise hit on its hands. Fan love was so strong that the brand revived the anthropomorphic spokescharacters last year, coinciding with the return of the re-engineered portable Pill speaker. The mascots—three wise-cracking roomies played by actor-comedians Ben Marshall, Megan Stalter, and Desi Banks—are now expanding their found family with a pair of famous athletes, representing two new colors, in two 15-second spots. WNBA star Angel Reese provides the voice for the Blush Pink Pill, while former Formula 1 champ Daniel Ricciardo brings the Navy Blue Pill to life. Both were already embedded in the high-profile Beats endorser stable. The new Pill People characters, developed with CGI, come from agency Buck, which has been shepherding the campaign since 2024. The ongoing goal has been to infuse personality into characters that are walking, talking pieces of technology with speakers for heads, according to Fernando Bittar, Buck's creative director. 'The idea was to make the spots feel like live action,' Bittar told ADWEEK, 'with characters that are relatable and tactile.' Beats has dubbed the upcoming season 'the summer of speakers,' according to CMO Chris Thorne, noting the importance of the warm-weather months for sales of the go-anywhere product. The addition of Reese and Ricciardo 'brings the perfect mix of attitude and humor that made Pill People iconic in the first place.' The campaign drops as mascots are having a marketing moment. Some brands are leaning into, and sometimes unearthing, classic characters, a la McDonald's and Grimace, while others are creating original mascots as a way to engage and entertain consumers. Read More Amazon to sunset ad server by end of 2024 Instacart, for its Super Bowl 59 ad from TBWA\Chiat\Day, assembled an entire cast of iconic characters, including the Kool-Aid Man, the Pillsbury Doughboy, Old Spice's The Man Your Man Can Smell Like, and Mountain Dew's PuppyMonkeyBaby.
