Vinicius Junior attends Thunder’s win over Clippers to support Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Several notable names attended the Oklahoma City Thunder’s 134-115 win over the LA Clippers on Thursday. Arguably the biggest, Brazilian soccer superstar Vinicius Junior, was courtside watching the Thunder snap the red-hot Clippers’ nine-game winning streak.

Gilgeous-Alexander’s 31 points headlined OKC’s offensive clinic against LA. The Thunder shot 59% from the field and 47% from 3 while dishing a season-high 35 assists.

The Real Madrid forward has formed a friendship with Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander over the years. Vinicius returned the favor from earlier this year when Gilgeous-Alexander attended the Champions League semifinal between Real Madrid and Manchester City in May.

After the Thunder’s win, the two rising stars in their respective sport met up and conducted the tradition of exchanging jerseys and posing for photos.
