Thunder’s Jaylen Williams Drops Bombshell Message on T-Shirt, Nets $25,000 Fine—What Did It Say?

Jalen Williams isn’t just stepping onto the NBA stage — he’s dancing right past expectations, and the league’s taking notice. After dropping 24 points in a dominant Game 7 victory over the Nuggets, Williams and the Thunder didn’t just win; they transformed the Paycom Center into a straight-up party zone. But here’s the kicker: he wasn’t fined for anything he said during his postgame press conference, nope — it was all about the shirt he chose to rock. Yeah, you read that right. Sporting a vintage tee emblazoned with the edgy slogan, “F*** art, let’s dance,” from the British ska legends Madness, Williams ruffled some NBA feathers to the tune of a $25,000 fine. It didn’t matter that the setting was literally in his “house” on the street — the league clamped down regardless. Now, I’m curious as heck what he’ll pull out of his wardrobe next time he faces the media. One thing’s for sure: when you’re sharing the stage with a guy like Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, you might as well bring the whole vibe with you. LEARN MORE

It didn’t matter that the press conference was in his house (in the middle of his street), the league has come down on Williams.After Williams and the Thunder turned the Paycom Center into their own house of fun in a Game 7 rout of the Nuggets, Williams got a trip to the podium for a postgame press conference after dropping 24 on Denver. However, Williams has been fined ,000 by the NBA, not because of what he said at the press conference, but for what he wore. It wasn’t a pair of baggy trousers, but rather a shirt from the 70s/80s British ska band Madness, which says “F*** art, let’s dance.”Jalen Williams went one step beyond. At least as far as the NBA is concerned.We’ll see what he wears to his next press conference. You can’t blame Williams for going all out when he dresses for games, he’s sitting next to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander most of the time.
