I CAN’T BELIEVE HE IS GOING: Oklahoma City Thunder Point Guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Has Submitted Resignation Letter to… See More

In a shocking turn of events that has sent the NBA world into absolute chaos, Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has reportedly submitted a “resignation letter” to… the game of basketball itself. Yes, you read that right.

Sources close to the situation say that after leading the Thunder to one of their most promising seasons in recent memory and establishing himself as a legitimate MVP contender, SGA walked into the Thunder facility earlier this week, looked Sam Presti dead in the eye, handed him a manila envelope, and said:

“I’m resigning. From all of it.”

Wait… Resignation? Is That Even a Thing in the NBA?

Apparently, Shai has grown tired of the traditional language of sports. Forget trade requests. Forget free agency drama. He’s doing things his own way—starting with a formal resignation letter, the kind you’d give at a 9-to-5 job.

Insiders say the letter began with:

“To whom it may concern,
I, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, hereby resign from being too good at basketball. It’s unfair to the league, and frankly, to my opponents.”

The letter then reportedly continued with:

“Also, I need a break from hearing the phrase ‘future of the league’ every five seconds.”

Fans in Shock, Internet Melts Down

Within minutes of the (fake) news leaking, hashtags like #SGAResigns, #BringBackShai, and #Thunderstruck began trending on X (formerly Twitter). NBA Twitter is currently split between disbelief, deep analysis of the wording of the letter, and jokes about SGA starting a modeling career.

One fan wrote:

“He better be resigning to go start an R&B career because that man got too much sauce to leave the court.”

Another said:

“This better be like when Jay-Z ‘retired’ and came back six months later with a Grammy.”

Thunder Management Responds

Thunder GM Sam Presti released a brief (and very confused) statement:

“We appreciate Shai’s… creativity. We are currently reviewing whether resigning from basketball is contractually valid under the current CBA.”

An emergency meeting between the NBA and the Players Association is rumored to be taking place to address this new development, which some are calling “a poetic protest against media pressure and load management discourse.”

Where Is Shai Now?

Unconfirmed reports suggest Shai was last seen in a silk robe, walking barefoot on a beach somewhere in Tulum, holding a copy of The Art of Not Giving a F**.* Other rumors claim he’s launching a luxury skincare line called SGA Smooth.

Final Thoughts

Is Shai really leaving? Is this an elaborate PR stunt? Is the NBA ready for players submitting resignation letters instead of trade requests? Only time will tell.
