Excited by the massive win, Gilgeous-Alexander shared on his Instagram:

“they debating about if my bag is deep

bc they know the only thing i really lack is sleep

left home and i said i wouldn?t be back for weeks

Until I made sure I was in Paris next summer and not for fashion week”

The internet has already shown its appreciation to the Thunder star for sharing his lyrical excellence. The son of Shaquille O’Neal,?Shaqir decided to share it on his Instagram story as well. However, Shai wasn’t alone yesterday as the former Memphis Grizzlies guard Dillon Brooks shone brightly as well.

How did Dillon Brooks change the game??

Gilgeous-Alexander was the captain of the ship yesterday with 30 points and 7 assists. However, Canada was down double digits initially in the third quarter. This is when Dillon Brooks decided to prove his worth.?

Hitting four big threes, Brooks gave Canada the momentum to win the crucial game. Without the former Grizzlies star’s 22 point-game, Canada’s dream of making it to the Olympics might have ended.?
