Josh Giddey pours out all the secrets of the Boomers

In the midst of what is an intense competition, Giddey lent his time to the OKC media team for a segment of ‘Tea Time’. Sipping on the hot beverage he was asked a series of questions about his teammates. The very first resonated with their basketball skills, but the output was measured on a television screen. When quizzed about the worst 2K player, Giddey revealed it is Dyson Daniels. He also noted that the New Orleans Pelicans rookie is also the biggest charmer on the team along with Josh Green.

When it comes to the singing talents on the NBA-studded team, the OKC’s dynamic playmaker ranked himself as the worst vocalist on the team. He gave the crown to Mathhise Thybulle, the tenacious NBA defender. The latter question dove into the team’s prime athletes. Josh Giddey was asked about who among the Boomers would thrive on the popular show ‘Wipe Out’. It poses a tricky obstacle course that contestants have to wade their way through. According to the 20-year-old, himself, Thybulle, Olympic hero Patty Mills, and Xavier Cooks could tackle through the challenge. “I think most of our guys. If you’re athletic, you can move I think you will be good at Wipe Out,” claimed the Thunder guard.

Daniels was a very popular choice during Giddey’s trivia session. The rookie also received honors for being the ‘gossiper’ on the team. The interview didn’t hold back on anything with the All-Rookie star also naming the funniest Boomer of all. Interestingly, the ‘scaredy cat’ of the team Duop Reath is secretly hilarious in the eyes of Josh Giddey. Maybe much of it branches from his multitude of fears.
