VIDEO: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Rocks Allen Iverson Hoodie in Great Troll of Ty Lue Ahead of Thunder vs Clippers
By Evan Wolff
If there is one thing that can be said about the new generation of NBA players, it is that they are fearless. Players like Trae Young, Luka Doncic, Jayson Tatum and others don't care about the reputation others have, they just go out and ball. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is making a name for himself as well on the Oklahoma City Thunder, and as his team rolled up Tuesday night to face the Los Angeles Clippers, he walked in to the arena with an epic Allen Iverson hoodie trolling Clippers assistant Ty Lue.

There is a lot to be appreciated in just this six second clip. Firstly, it's incredible to realize how much effort must've went in to finding that hoodie. Furthermore, it is a hilarious reminder of an iconic moment in NBA history, while also harmlessly (for now) poking fun at a coach of an opposing team.
You too young to be this disrespectful ?

These young players have not backed down on the court all season, and now it seems they want their names to be remembered off the court, as well. Let's just hope Shai has a great game Tuesday, or else this pregame statement may come back to haunt him.
