Well, no one on this episode of Jeopardy is an NBA fan.
Because this clue? It was an absolutely wide open layup.
They put a picture of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on the screen.
Then they described everything he accomplished during the 2024-25 NBA season, including his MVP and his championship.
And, well, nothing. Not a single buzz in to guess.
Here’s how it looked on the show:

To anyone reading this story on this website, it’s probably stunning that SGA wouldn’t be known.
But seriously, there are people who don’t watch sports, or read about sports, or talk about sports.
Gilgeous-Alexander is a Canadian playing in Oklahoma City. As far as headline grabbers go just to the totally non-sport fan, he doesn’t have a lot going for him.
Still, it seems he may have come across the radar once or twice while winning MVP and a ring.
Apparently not. Gilgeous-Alexander will just have to do it all again.
