[Saba Sports News] During his debut All-Star Weekend at the Rising Stars game, Oklahoma City Thunder’s Chet Holmgren shared his enjoyment and humor about the event.
When questioned about interacting with Hall-of-Famers or All-Stars in Indianapolis, Holmgren humorously mentioned spending time with his teammate, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, playfully suggesting that Gilgeous-Alexander’s company was akin to mingling with legendary talent.
“Yeah, I hung out with Shai a little bit,” Holmgren joked.
This comment humorously elevated his teammate while subtly joking about the star-studded environment. Gilgeous-Alexander, attending his second All-Star event, proves Holmgren’s jest wasn’t far from a reality.
Though Holmgren didn’t express a particular interest in discussing recent criticisms with an NBA legend, his focus seemed more on the present and enjoying the experience. Given his trajectory, the expectation is that Holmgren himself will soon be a regular at All-Star events.
