Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in Drake's new 'Nokia' music video, filmed on IMAX

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is one of the most famous athletes in the world right now as the face of Converse and the runaway favorite to win MVP this season for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Life is good for the 26-year-old, who is eligible to sign a four-year, $293 million supermax extension this summer.
The latest twist as he continues to be cooler than I’ll ever be? The former Kentucky star is promoting his new sneaker, the SHAI001, in Drake’s latest music video.
Nokia has been played on repeat from the second the song was released in February — it’s a TikTok staple. If you haven’t heard it, your kids have. Today, Drake released the music video for the viral song, shot on IMAX because why wouldn’t it be shot on IMAX?
As you’re finding out if it’s Stacy, Becky, Keisha, Annie, Dani or PARTY calling your phone and learning where the **** the function is, SGA shows up in a hoodie featuring what Google says is a ‘highly offensive Italian phrase’ with his sneakers draped over his shoulders. Like he does with most looks, the former Wildcat pulls it off.

One way or another, Drake is going to find a way to stay in our lives as Kentucky fans. This is the latest example.
“BABY GURL!” – SGA, probably.
