The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently in an impressive position in the 2024-25 NBA season. They recently snagged an awesome victory against the Philadelphia 76ers, winning 102-118. Moreover, during the post-game interview, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and his teammates pulled off a hilarious prank on the sideline reporter.
After clinching the victory, Nick Gallo from FanDuel Sports Network swooped in for a post-game interview with SGA. As Gilgeous-Alexander was sharing his thoughts on the game, his teammates couldn’t resist the urge to have a little fun, tossing towels over Gallo’s shoulder and even playfully hiding his head under one.

It was just a blast, and the laughter from both Gallo and Gilgeous-Alexander made the moment even better. At one point, the Thunder star guard jokingly said, “I’m sorry, Nick. The children. I’m so sorry.” When Rob Perez shared a clip of the prank on X, it had NBA fans cracking up. The comments blew up with jokes, with some fans hilariously comparing Gallo’s look to different characters, while others just couldn’t stop laughing at the whole scene.
