"If glazing was a person": NBA fans roast Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Thunder's postgame antics

Oklahoma City Thunder v New York Knicks
NBA fans roast Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder for their postgame antics.

NBA fans took some shots at Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the OKC Thunder following their win over the New York Knicks on Sunday night. The Thunder also clinched a playoff spot with the victory, joining the Denver Nuggets as the first two West teams to do it.

SGA had a quiet night with just 19 points, two rebounds and three assists, but Jalen Williams and Josh Giddey stole the show at Madison Square Garden. Williams finished with 33 points, four rebounds, eight assists, two steals and two blocks, while Giddey dropped 16 points, 13 rebounds and 12 assists.

However, Gilgeous-Alexander had the last say, hitting the game-winning fadeaway jumper with 1.8 seconds left. He also defended Jalen Brunson's attempt at the buzzer.

During SGA's postgame interview, Jalen Williams was in awe of what his teammates did at the end. Williams was caught by cameras, which was uploaded by the NBA on their X account.

However, not a lot of fans were thrilled with Williams' reaction, with one fan even calling it "glazing" or the new slang term for "a**-kissing" and "d*ckriding." The fan wrote:

"If glazing was a person."

Another took a shot at the Thunder and compared it to Drake "glazing" at women:

"This like Drake with whoever's hot at the time."

One fan thinks that Jalen Williams should not be doing this kind of stuff, as he had a better game than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander:

"He had a better game than Shai too, but the first thing he wanna do after the game is get on his knees lmao."

Here are other reactions on X to J-Dub's "glazing" at SGA:

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander did not have his best game on Sunday night against the New York Knicks. Jalen Williams was feeling it the entire night, while Josh Giddey dropped one of the best triple-doubles of the season.

However, when Jalen Brunson gave the Knicks the lead with less than five seconds left, the OKC Thunder turned to their best player. SGA didn't disappoint after hitting the game-winning shot over Miles McBride with 1.8 seconds remaining.

The 113-112 win helped the Thunder clinched a playoff spot for the first time since the 2019-20 season. They joined the Boston Celtics and Denver Nuggets as the only official postseason teams at the moment.

The Thunder are No. 1 in the West with a 52-22 record and 0.5 games ahead of the defending champs.
