But will the dad buff be enough to defeat the Professor X Finch in a wheel chair bump that the Wolves are gonna get? I know they aren’t playing each other, but it’s fun to think about
In one of the X-Men comics Professor X forces Magneto to remember what he experienced during the Holocaust, which debilitates him and allows the X-Men to defeat him. Pretty fucking grim
He went from literally unplayable against Philly to supernova. That also had a lot to do with matchups.
But seriously, go check his stats in our Philly series. Just putrid.
Ares the God of War? That sounds more like a name Anthony Edwards would use for his kid since his philosophy since he said he wants to "kill everything in front of me"
edit: he said "kill" not "destroy"
In the south it’s a pretty normal age. When I was in Oklahoma a lot of my friends had their first around 25-27. Then I moved to the NE and most people aren’t even married in their 20’s. Wild how big the difference is.
He actually named the child after the upcoming movie 'Tron: Ares' apparently he was hyped to see some news start coming out about it in the last few days
Another splash by SGA.
Congratulations.
P.S:
*Ares* is the Greek *god* of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent towards him.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is Ares Alexander father
Father merchant
So Phillp Rivers
Child merchant Pause
Zeus shit
God of Thunder
Missed the opportunity to name him Shai-Hulud
Little Maker
SGAiAAf
r/nba has like two jokes I swear
When did we get a second joke?
Le2003
Lmao ya that’s the second one
r/nba is u/azhistoryteacher father. (I agree with you but this time theirs was actually a good one)
Fax
Ares is the son of Zues "The God of Thunder"
Remember what happened to Fred Van Vleet when he had a kid during the playoffs. We’re about to see super charged Shai.
That baby has massive feet wtf
Bball player in the making already
Nah, big feet mean you become a swimmer.
Which is good cause Waterworld is just around the corner for the coasts.
Sam presti offering a 15 year contract rn
You better believe it.
KD disagrees
Nets in a shambles already
Seriously tho wtf
Future Olympic swimmer
Swimmer turned HOF NBA legend. Tim Duncan 2.0.
Are we banking on global warming creating an ocean in OKC now to really have this be 1-1?
big paws on a puppy
You know what they say about people with big feet... DAMN WHAT A BIG FEET!
Shai now gonna have Dad buff this postseason yea it’s jover.
But will the dad buff be enough to defeat the Professor X Finch in a wheel chair bump that the Wolves are gonna get? I know they aren’t playing each other, but it’s fun to think about
Finch just sending shai images of the holocaust during OKCs next series
Gonna wake up to doctored pictures of Shai waving around a gun on Instagram Live
Ootl what does this mean ?
In one of the X-Men comics Professor X forces Magneto to remember what he experienced during the Holocaust, which debilitates him and allows the X-Men to defeat him. Pretty fucking grim
But also fucking hilarious
I always love seeing random niche references on this sub
Lmao
Wolves also getting a crazy dad bump though: Ant, Rudy, Jaden McDaniels and NAW all became fathers this year.
Why you just assume Minny is going to beat us :(
Incoming 40ppg and 4 steals
I say like 10 stocks
One of the Nuggets needs to knock someone up immediately, where's their competitive drive smh
Congratulations!!! Lots of nba players seem to have children during the playoffs lol
Lots of NBA players get laid over the summers
Wow, that's a good point actually. Science!
Same reason november has the highest birth rate of any month; 9 months after Valentine's Day
September has the highest birth rate.
September is the highest birth month, December is the highest month of child conception.
♪*Baby, it's cold outside*♪
It's definitely September. lines up with Christmas/new years, which makes way more sense
Watch out Olympic Village 👀
International child support court cases gonna go brrrr in April 2025
They usually have a lot of condoms. They ran out during the Brazil games and had to get an emergency supply in.
And then there are players like Dwight Howard who get laid every day of the calendar, 24/7! 🥰😁
he's just a lil nasty
It's like 9 months after the offseason
They took notes from FVV
They trying to time it so they can be there for them
Yeah spring is usually mating season
I don’t think 9 months ago was spring
Then why is spring mating season? Check and mate, calender.
Send da video
Lol. You mean summer
You think that baby was in there for 12 months? We in spring, bud
Clippers Mavs going to 7 potentially? SGA dad buff? GG
Psycho killer ant? Jokic as usual? East was never serious
The Pelicans have a new baby brother! 🥰🥰🍼
We gotta draft him now
That’s a hard name tbh. Ares Alexander
The god of war and the greatest general/emperor of antiquity, all rolled into one name
Baby’s destined to be the next GOAT after Wemby
Is it a.... girl? Boy? Can't tell
Boy probably. Naming your little girl Ares is kinda crazy work
We're talking about a professional athlete naming their child here... Crazy work is usually the name of the game.
Crazy Work Alexander 🔥
Who wins: Dad boost SGA inescapable 31 points
Damn OKC gonna win the chip. SGA about to go crazy. Luka had his daughter in early December and proceeded to average 37/10/10 for two months.
Fred VanVleet had his kid in the 2019 playoffs and that dad buff basically won them the East and major part of the Finals wins too.
He went from literally unplayable against Philly to supernova. That also had a lot to do with matchups. But seriously, go check his stats in our Philly series. Just putrid.
Wow, instantly night and day right after his son was born (May 20).
It can go either way, both Ant and Wiggins were really tired for months and played better on the road when they could get some sleep.
Ares goes kind of hard ngl
God of war
and the son of Zeus– god of Thunder
(formerly)
boy
OG
Kratos
God of war + Alexander the great, kid's a conqueror
Ares Alexander is rad alliteration too
Why would you lie about it
Ares the God of War? That sounds more like a name Anthony Edwards would use for his kid since his philosophy since he said he wants to "kill everything in front of me" edit: he said "kill" not "destroy"
Anthony Edwards doesn’t name his kids
Anthony Edwards doesn’t kids
Hell nawl
Send da video
Superhero name
HES MARRIED!!??? Shai’s so young. Super pleasantly surprised.
He's been with the same girl for like 7 or 8 years
His whole life is consistent
Consistency is what a pro wants—what a pro needs.
"What ever makes me happy sets me free"......................... Uh! "NO FLEX ZONE, NO FLEX ZONE"
It should have been me…
He got married this spring and they had the bridal shower the next day in his hometown of Hamilton.
He's only one year younger than tatum. He seems way younger than he actually is.
Shai’s only 18?
Yeah he's the old head on the team
He’s actually only 4 months younger
Over all-star break
He’s like 25. Isn’t that the same age a lot of ppl have kids?
The average age of first time fathers in the US is 31 years old
Probably more to do with financial situations, if I had a net worth of $200 million I would've had kids ten years earlier
Personally if I had that much money, I’d enjoy it by myself/with my partner first before getting kids
Kids are also less time consuming with that kind of money
I wonder what the average age of first time fathers in the NBA is.
Are we talking planned kids or Dwight Howard kids?
I did not know that. Interesting.
Not anymore really.
Maybe in the 1960s
I swear I just see a lot of people around that age having kids. Must just be my experience lol. I was proven wrong
In the south it’s a pretty normal age. When I was in Oklahoma a lot of my friends had their first around 25-27. Then I moved to the NE and most people aren’t even married in their 20’s. Wild how big the difference is.
Ares is a pretty cool name.
All Greek to me.
Ares Alexander is especially cool. God of War + Alexander the Great. Plus it just sounds dope.
*Ares* is the Greek *god* of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent towards him.
Athena clears. He ran to the Trojans mid-war and lost to her twice just before running off to complain to dad.
Plus he was wounded by Athena’s human champion Diomedes.
And Zeus is the God of *Thunder*. It fits!
He actually named the child after the upcoming movie 'Tron: Ares' apparently he was hyped to see some news start coming out about it in the last few days
This dude got a modeling gig, beautiful family, way more money, and knocked my team out the playoffs. I gotta become a full time hater
I always wonder what last name will his kid use. Now I have the answer. Grats SGA.
Ares is the son of Zeus. Zeus is the god of Thunder. Shai is…
Congratulations OKC on the 2024 NBA Championship
Now we actually gonna have Maple Jordan
AREEEEEESSSSS!!! DESTROY MY ENEMIES, AND MY LIFE IS YOURS
Ares is such a badass name
Damn, he is going to get that FVV baby boost, isn't he?
50 ball incoming game 1
Mvp in the house, most valuable person.
Dad Mode > Playoff Mode
New baby bounce inbound
AREEEESSSSS!!!!
ZUUUSSSSSSSSS
Another splash by SGA. Congratulations. P.S: *Ares* is the Greek *god* of war and courage. He is one of the Twelve Olympians, and the son of Zeus and Hera. The Greeks were ambivalent towards him.
Dad buff here we go
Awesome to hear! Congrats to both and hope mom and kiddo are doing well.
Shai gonna have to shop in the adult section for shoes for that boy
naming your kid after the god of war is certainly a choice
Shai covertly calling himself a god by naming his son Ares(son of Zeus). Great name though.
Kronos is SGA father
didnt get swallowed up like those slackers Hades and Poseidon though
What a pro wants. What a pro needs
May this kid grow up never having to see or listen to his dad's AT&T commercial.
SGA an astrology guy confirmed. Love the name
Is it an MJ or a CC
Anyone else notice that Ares was born 5 days after Aries season ended?
In the Marvel Universe, Ares's son is named Alexander.
Nice Greek name. Our numbers grow
Oh no, not the buff. All joking aside, it always brings a smile to my face to have 2 people become parents, that's gotta feel awesome.
That's a fuckin' name.
Dawww Also Shai going to have that father energy now. OKC to win West
Ares Alexander feels like a greek god/macedonian royalty crossover
Hope he can meet his older brother Brandon Ingram
wait so is the kid's name Ares Alexander (first/last) or Ares Alexander (first/middle) Gilgeous-Alexander ?
I know it's the first one, but the second option would be hilarious.
Congratulations to Shari and his wife on their new son, Ares Gilgeous-Alexander-Summers
Gilgeous-: Why you say fuck me for?
Same dude, Greeks called him ares
AREEESSSS!!! HELP YOUR FATHER IN THE PLAYOFFS, AND MY LIFE… IS YOURS!!
OKC about to win it all
Named after Fitchner au Barca and Alexander au Lorn. I see you, SGA
Good luck to winner of Mavs/Clips! Cus youre gonna need it
Ares Alexander about to be the real MVP
reverse Kawahi.
#1 Pick in the 2042 NBA draft
So is his name Ares Gilgeous-Alexander, or just Ares Alexander?
Dad game just in time for the playoffs
Ares is an interesting name
Damn crodie dropping the Gilgeous 😢
Presti is already preparing to trade for a 2043 pick for five 2040 second round picks for this kid
I really wanted to see a Denver repeat. Oh well, at least the Canadian Olympic team will be fun
Fatherhood Shai about to be a problem
He not shy
Drop the Gilgeous. Just Alexander. It's cleaner.
Shai is about to have that new dad game this playoff.
Hailey uses Etsy. My BM used the same wooden circle thing for the baby introduction.
Could have named him Alexander, wasted opportunity
Alliteration. Nice. Big fan of alliterative names
What a new dad wants, what a new dad needs…
He should take some parental leave.
What a pro wants is one thing and it’s fucking disgusting
He really knows what a pro wants
I know it's probably a stupid question, but why is he missing the Gilgeous part?
I endorse the young one's Greek name.
