Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is no stranger to bold fashion statements. However, his latest outfit before the game against the Indiana Pacers might have pushed the boundaries a little too far, according to fans.
Game 4 of the NBA Finals brings high stakes and electrifying energy as fans around the world watch closely to see who will inch closer to hoisting the coveted trophy.
Before the matchup, the players arrived at Gainbridge Fieldhouse in Indianapolis rocking their fits that showcased their personal style.
From streetwear to casual looks, the team displayed a mix of bold fashion choices and laid-back vibes that turned the pregame tunnel into a mini runway.
As for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s outfit, he never fails to deliver a head-turning look, but this time, fans can’t help but poke fun at his fashion choice.
The Thunder point guard strutted the tunnel in a white boxy cropped button-down long-sleeved top and paired it with baggy light-washed denim pants.
Of course, his fit wouldn't be complete without accessories. He went for a printed statement belt and black shades.
Completing the look, he went for a tonal outfit paired with light blue sneakers that tied the ensemble together.
While the two-time NBA All-Star clearly paid attention to the details, it seems he may have overlooked one small but noticeable part of his outfit.
In a post shared by the NBA, fans can’t help but point out Gilgeous-Alexander’s fashion faux pas — his pants.
The commenters seemed confused as to why he kept pulling his pants up instead of getting the right size for himself.
“Why is SGA sagging with a belt on?” a fan asked.
“Can bro wear 1 pair of pants that’s not in danger of tripping him up? Does he know his size?” a second user added.
Another commenter echoed the same and remarked, “How do u hold ya pants up with a belt on ?? Like I'm confused.”
Meanwhile, some mocked the NBA star and noted, “Holding his pants up while wearing a belt lol.”
“SGA saggin' like that [expletive] cool,” a commenter said.
“Sagging your pants in 2025 is very childish,” a fan pointed out while another asked “Why are you holding ur pants up? Smh!!”
Despite his outfit blunder, SGA has made his mark in the fashion world.
