OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma City Thunder guard Jalen Williams waited until he was an NBA champion to take his first sip of alcohol. The 24-year-old revealed to ESPN that he had never consumed alcohol before the Thunder’s Game 7 victory over the Indiana Pacers in the 2025 NBA Finals on June 22.

The 24 year old claimed to drink alcohol for the first time after winning the NBA championship, but he wasn't a fan of what the Thunder had.

The Oklahoma City Thunder, with an average age of 25.6, clinched their first NBA title since relocating, showcasing youthful exuberance. Jalen Williams and Jaylin Williams' viral, awkward first beer reactions highlighted the team's inexperience and authenticity.
