Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has had an impressive season so far. After missing out on initial games, the star’s return had added an extra edge to the relatively younger unit. The team is currently on a 6-game winning streak and seeds second in the Western Conference after a shaky start in the beginning. Notably, Shai has played an important role in it, dropping buckets consistently. Stepping into his sixth season in the league, the 25-year-old star has improved a lot offensively. Moreover, he has emerged as the game-winner for his side. Along with that, the star’s team-up with Jalen Williams and Chet Holmgren has only made the team more lethal.
Apart from his flourish on the court, a former NBA player started a rumor involving the Kardashians and the OKC star.

In the recent episode of Gil’s Arena, the panel discussed the surging growth of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the court. Particularly, the star has produced grand numbers on the stats sheet consistently. He registered a whooping average of 30.4 points in 14 games, competing against the MVP candidates.
Moreover, the panel unanimously agreed that in the current year, Shai would take his team to the playoffs. However, it didn’t end there as former Minnesota Timberwolves star Rashad McCants had something more to add.
He appreciated Shai’s effort against Stephen Curry & Co and also dropped a wild speculation on him. McCants said, “he’s putting the the league on notice that I don’t give a f**k about none of y’all… I’m going to do it in some Skims…I’m going Skim y’all with some Skims.” Skims is a lingerie brand co-founded by Kim Kardashian and was also recently unveiled as the official underwear partner of the NBA.
McCants didn’t stop there. He went on to further speculate that the OKC star must be linked up with one of the Kardashian sisters. “One of them Jenner’s” he said. Meanwhile, Gilbert Arenas kept a straight face until Rashad McCants moved to the next topic.
