"'Knaye West fit', 'Villain era'"- NBA fans rave over Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's wild pregame outfit ahead of clash with Rockets

NBA fans reacted to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's outfit before the game against the Houston Rockets on Sunday. Following in the footsteps of Allen Iverson, SGA is creating a new chapter in the NBA's fashion history. In the last few years he has emerged as the fashion king of the league, blending streetwear with modern fashion trends.

On Sunday, SGA arrived in a pair of camouflage cargo pants and a black hoodie jacket. However, the hoodie also covered his face from the top to his nose.

Reacting to the post, one of the fans even gave the OKC Thunder star a name.

"Shai the executioner," the fan wrote.

Some of the fans said that the fit was Kanye West-kind in style, and some even claimed that it was an announcement of the villain era of the Thunder.

"Villain era," the fan wrote.

"Kanye fit," the fan wrote.

"Deadass thought this was Kanye," another fan wrote.

"Mr 2 is already in Playoff mode," the fan wrote.

"Yeah that's a 40 piece."

One fan commended Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's aura in his new style.

"Dude doesnt even need to see the aura will lead him to where he needs to be," the fan claimed.

Paul Pierce has a unique way of settling MVP debate between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic

The race for the MVP award between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokic has been the closest in the past few years. Two of the league's best players have not only been leading their teams in the closely contested West but also been giving some of the best performances in recent years.

While Jokic is averaging a neat 3-point triple-double in the season, SGA is leading the league in scoring and also the best team in the league. With the regular season coming to an end, there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut winner of the trophy.

However, former NBA champion Paul Pierce has a solution. While discussing race, both Pierce and Kevin Garnett agreed that to give the trophy to one and not the other would be an injustice. They later agreed that if there was one time to give the co-MVP trophy, now was the time.

"If there ever was a time for one [it is now]," Pierce and Garnett said.

In 73 games so far this season, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is averaging 32.8 points, 5.0 rebounds and 6.3 assists per game. On the other hand, in 65 games, Nikola Jokic is averaging 29.7 points, 12.8 rebounds and 10.2 assists per game.
