Reigning NBA MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is never shy about his pregame fashion, and he might have taken it to another level Wednesday.
Prior to facing the New York Knicks, Gilgeous-Alexander pulled up to Madison Square Garden in a fur jacket large enough to cover his neck and part of his face. It included silver elements on the front of the hood. He also donned glasses with black pants and black Timberland shoes to complete the fit.
Fur coats are a staple of Gilgeous-Alexander's wardrobe. He wore them pregame before the 2024 and 2025 NBA All-Star Games.
The forecast in New York -- 46 degrees as he arrived -- didn't call for a look as warm as this one, but Gilgeous-Alexander still pulled it off. He also enters the matchup with some merited swagger: Gilgeous-Alexander is undefeated against the Knicks in New York. He dropped 39 points on 15-of-21 shooting in a 126-101 victory at the Garden in January 2025.
Heading into Wednesday, the 27-year-old is averaging 31.8 points and 6.4 assists per game. He missed Oklahoma City's Tuesday night game against the Chicago Bulls to manage an abdominal injury that sidelined him most of February.
