Alexander, SGA’s dad, reacted to the public accusing Gilgeous-Alexander of baiting referees for trips to the free-throw line, per 520 Podcast with Jeff Teague. “Shai’s not really a free-throw merchant drawing fouls. He’s using angles and change of pace. I’m going to up fake you, get you in the air, and you’re done. We all know that, what the f*** you doing in the air,” Alexander said. “Once you go up, I’m going up and you’re coming down on top of me. Am I drawing a foul? Well, yes, because the f****** rules of the game have fouls in them. Don’t want to draw no fouls? Then just change the rules, take all the fouls out of the game, and we’ll play f****** football-basketball.” -via Clutch Points / June 12, 2025
