The NBA and the Oklahoma City Thunder got roasted after Sunday night’s Game 7, with fans spotting something odd during the post-match festivities.
The Thunder are now the reigning NBA champions, closing out in a decisive seventh game to win their first-ever title since leaving Seattle. Title wins typically come with post-game merchandise such as custom headgear, T-shirts, and other gear. Given the quality of the team’s hats, it appears that plenty of expense was spared.
Fans quickly noticed that they did not match previous standards and went into troll mode after one account pointed it out on X.
“One of the worst hats I’ve ever seen 😭,” someone declared.
“Look like one of those hats you see behind the counter at the gas station,” another joked.
“China Trade War cant get the good stuff in,” someone quipped.

“Dollar store champs. Dollar store merch,” a user claimed.
“The glue still warm on the OKC logo 🤣,” someone else wrote.
Oklahoma City Thunder Win With Third-Quarter Effort
The Oklahoma City Thunder got past the line following another valiant output from their MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who was also named Finals MVP after leading his team to a momentous win.
Shai scored 29 points and made 12 assists en route to becoming the first NBA player to win MVP, Finals MVP, and the scoring title in the same season in 25 years.
The third quarter proved pivotal for the Thunder, as the Pacers had stuck around until then, even without Tyrese Haliburton, who went off with a suspected Achilles tear in the first quarter. They outscored Indiana 34-20, scoring 18 points off eight turnovers.
Indiana was also held to 41.4 percent shooting in the game, their lowest output of the entire postseason.
