SHOCKING DECISION: Oklahoma City Captain Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Stuns NBA With Unprecedented Contract Move
Upon signing his new mega-extension contract, expected to secure him generational wealth and ensure he remains the face of the franchise for years to come, Gilgeous-Alexander did something no one anticipated…
He gave up a portion of his own salary to… pay for the entire Thunder arena’s vending machines to be free for one week.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Sources close to the team claim that immediately after inking the deal, SGA requested a private meeting with Thunder executives. Many assumed he was negotiating roster moves or additional team amenities.
Instead, he reportedly slid a handwritten note across the table reading:
“Make the Skittles free. All of them. For everyone.”
Witnesses say the room fell silent for nearly thirty seconds.
A Legacy Move
Thunder GM Sam Presti, known for his long-term planning and stoic demeanor, allegedly whispered, “This… this changes everything.”
Players across the league reacted instantly:
- LeBron James tweeted a single word: “Icon.”
- Giannis Antetokounmpo posted: “I would have done the same if they had Sour Patch Watermelon.”
- Draymond Green asked if Golden State could match the vending-machine clause under the cap.
Fans Already Celebrating
Thunder fans formed a spontaneous gathering outside Paycom Center, chanting “S-G-A! FREE S-N-A-C-K-S!” while holding bags of celebratory Doritos.
Local high school student Jalen Ortiz told reporters:
“This is bigger than MVP. This is bigger than a championship. This is… free Gatorade.”
Is This the Start of a Trend?
League insiders worry SGA’s shocking generosity may set a new precedent for star-level negotiations. Rumors are already swirling that:
- Luka Dončić may demand free Slurpee machines in every arena.
- Steph Curry wants unlimited wrist tape for all fans under age 10.
- Jimmy Butler is exploring the feasibility of league-wide smoothie vouchers.
NBA Commissioner Adam Silver issued a formal statement:
“We support innovation… though we kindly request that players do not attempt to unionize vending machines.”
SGA: “It’s About the People.”
When asked why he made such an unusual financial sacrifice, Shai simply smiled and said:
“Oklahoma City has always supported me. I just thought… why not support their snack habits?”
A true leader. A true captain. A true giver of chips.
