Talor Gooch trolls Indiana golf crowd with Shai Gilgeous-Alexander jersey

After completing one of the greatest individual seasons the NBA has ever seen, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has become a household name. He led the Oklahoma City Thunder to the Larry O'Brien trophy in a year that saw him bring home every award imaginable, from MVP to NBA Finals MVP.

Gilgeous-Alexander has become a global brand. The NBA has fully invested in him and the Thunder with a league-best 34 national television games for the 2025-26 regular season. In the latest example of why that's the right move, professionals from different sports have shouted him out.

Professional golfer Talor Gooch took time out of his performance at an Indiana LIV Golf Tournament to wear Gilgeous-Alexander's 2024-25 City Edition jersey. The Oklahoma State alumn has made his Thunder fandom known for years. He grew up in Oklahoma.

As you can imagine, the Indiana crowd booed him as he went on to par the hole. The Thunder crushed the Indiana Pacers fans' dreams when they won Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals to bring home the Larry O'Brien trophy.

A few hours later, Gilgeous-Alexander shouted out Gooch for the troll job. It was a good move to go with his goal to upset the crowd. The professional golfer is known for leaning into the villain gimmick at times. This was the latest example of that.
