Following the Oklahoma City Thunder’s commanding Game 1 victory over the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals, Jalen Williams reflected on the happiness he finds in playing basketball.

Contributing 18 points to the Thunder’s triumph, Williams embraces the joy of the game both on and off the court.

In response to questions about his upbeat demeanor, Williams acknowledged the privilege of earning millions to play the sport he loves.

“I get paid millions of dollars to dribble a basketball up and down the court. It’s hard not to be happy,” Williams stated, per Brandon Rahbar.
