Yo, LA’s buzzing with more than just the usual Hollywood drama, and this time it’s got that NBA championship glow! Fresh off their 2025 title win, Oklahoma City Thunder players Chet Holmgren and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander are making waves in the City of Angels. Spotted at Crypto.com Arena on August 20, 2025, during a Dallas Wings vs. LA Sparks game, Holmgren’s been soaking up the SoCal spotlight all offseason - and we’re here for it.
The latest stop on his victory lap? A hilarious cameo on Kai Cenat’s Twitch stream during the 2025 Little Basketball Association (LBA) championship game. If you’re not hip to Cenat, he’s the social media kingpin who’s basically the mayor of online entertainment, and his LBA event - pitting streamers against youth hoopers - had that raw, unfiltered LA energy we live for.
Sunday’s LBA event was straight-up star-studded, with Thunder ties all over the place. Holmgren rolled up still rocking his 2025 NBA Champions hat - talk about flexing that Larry O’Brien trophy vibe! He linked up with Cenat, hyping him up with some words of encouragement and even gifting him a pair of the coveted SHAI 001 Converse kicks. Those signature shoes are hotter than a Santa Monica summer day.
But the real cherry on top? Holmgren and Cenat FaceTimed none other than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander during the stream. Shai’s cool-as-ever presence had fans losing it online, proving these Thunder boys are the ultimate offseason entertainers. It’s the kind of content that screams peak NBA downtime - straight outta LA’s playbook.
“Man, linking up with Kai in LA just feels like the perfect way to celebrate this chip - we’re out here having fun and sharing the love!” - Chet Holmgren on vibing with Cenat.
Adding to the Thunder takeover, OKC’s own play-by-play legend Chris Fisher was on the call for the LBA game. His familiar voice had fans tuning in from all over, cutting through the comedic chaos with razor-sharp commentary. Even in a funny, offbeat setting like this, Fisher proved he’s got that professional polish - a true West Coast moment for OKC loyalists.
Let’s be real - if this ain’t the definition of NBA offseason gold, what is? Holmgren’s been living his best life, popping up everywhere with that championship hat like it’s his new signature look. From Crypto.com Arena to Twitch streams, these Thunder stars are giving us all the content we didn’t know we needed. Keep the SoCal side quests coming, Chet and Shai!
