Watch as SGA saves Jared McCain from embarrassment at an OKC facility
Recently, the The Oklahoma City Thunder surprised many in the basketball world by trading some draft compensation to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for a young guard Jared McCain. McCain immediately helps The Thunder address some of their outside shooting issues this year and also give them another young building block for the future.
Recently, McCain was trying to get into the Thunder’s facility, but ran into a little trouble, so he enlisted the help of none other than the league’s MVP Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to get it where he was supposed to go (via MrBuckBuck on X, formerly Twitter, per ESPN on TikTok).

While he may want to find a more efficient way to get to the Thunder building, it appears that team chemistry is already starting to develop between McCain and his new Thunder teammates.
On Monday night, the Thunder earned a narrow win over the Los Angeles Lakers on the road, with Gilgeous-Alexander still sidelined with an abdominal strain that will keep him out of the All-Star break.
In this game, Jaylen Williams took over for the Thunder, punishing the Lakers whenever they decided to switch one of their subpar defenders on him in the fourth quarter, getting to the basket and also torching Los Angeles from the mid-range, looking much more like the 2025 version of himself on the heels of his recent knee sprain.
McCain hasn’t had an explosive night for the Thunder since the trade from Philly, but he’s still a more than capable shooter who can space the floor and get hot in a hurry, as well as create his own offense on occasion.
Either way, the Thunder will next hit the floor Wednesday night on the road against the Phoenix Suns in their final game before the break.
