The Oklahoma City Thunder are one of the most exciting teams to watch and that’s not only because of their performances but the culture within the team. Alongside Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, a name that’s synonymous is Jalen Williams who takes up the offensive charge when they face tough opponents.

While NBACentel posting the picture was a dead-dead giveaway, Jalen Williams himself put an end to all the speculations. In true JDub fashion, he reposted the same post that started the rumor, further quoting, “Waking up to this in another country is crazy that’s not me tho… glad yall think I can pull India Love,” indirectly stating that the male in this viral picture WASN’T him and even sarcastically saying she was out of his league.
