Friend of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, $20M Real Madrid star backs All-Star guard as he goes up against James Harden

On Thursday night, the OKC Thunder, coached by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, will take on the Los Angeles Clippers, whose roster features Paul George and James Harden. This tantalizing matchup features two hоt teams vying for a Western Conference playoff spot. A number of famous faces have traveled to Oklahoma to see the aforementioned showdown.

Real Madrid and Brazil forward Vinicius Junior is one of the most famous people watching from the sidelines. The European football player is taking some time off to see his pal Gilgeous-Alexander while he heals from a hamstring ιnjury.

A tight relationship has developed between the two in recent months. This year in January, Vini Jr. sent a match-worn kit to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. “For Shai Gilgeous, you are the future,” the soccer genius wrote with the photo. How amazing is your style?

The OKC Thunder guard went to Spain to watch Real Madrid take on Manchester City in the opening leg of their semi-final match. Kevin de Bruyne scored to make it 1-1 in a match that “SGA” witnessed Vinicius Junior score.

This Brazilian soccer player shares a trait with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Both in athletics and the fashion industry, they are on the up-and-coming stars of the future. In 2021, “SGA” and his pal both re-upped their contracts with Real Madrid; the former paid $179.3 million for five years. According to reports, the soccer star will reportedly earn at least $20 million during his longer spell in the Spanish city, which has been extended to 2027.

After suffering an ιnjury, Vini Jr. will likely miss two months of action. His appearance at a Shai Gilgeous-Alexander game may not be his last as a basketball lover.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, led by Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, have taken a commanding lead against the Los Angeles Clippers, who are playing James Harden.

James Harden’s Los Angeles Clippers and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Oklahoma City Thunder have been in a seesaw strugglе for the first two quarters, but the Thunder have begun to pull away. The home side heads into the fourth period with a 109-92 lead after a 45-33 third period.

The Thunder’s “SGA” has a game-high 25 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks. Halfway through the game, “The Beard” racked up 23 points, 7 boards, 6 assists, 3 steals, and 1 block.
