Shai Gilgeous-Alexander once again proved why he is one of the top athletes within the league. The athlete racked up 35 points with 9 rebounds and 15 assists.

But like, I have got to see the questions first. Once I see who was on my left and I was going right, I think it was Christian Braun… So I probably was like, if I drove the shot through the middle, I would probably be contesting two guys. So I just tried to separate from the three and get a more comfortable shot.” Shai’s initial lines caught the attention of many and the Hollywood actor Ben Stiller was one of them.

Ben, who is known for praising athletes, wrote, “This has to be one of the best/coolest sports quotes ever.” He praised not only the quote but also the athlete. Ben ended his statement writing, “Incredible player.” Once again, the actor has shown his love and dedication for the sport.
