BREAKING NEWS: Arkansas Razorbacks Men’s Basketball Uses John Calipari in Hilarious Attempt to Take Credit for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP — “So, Technically…”

Fayetteville, AR — The Arkansas Razorbacks men’s basketball program just pulled off one of the most amusing flexes of the offseason — and it involves John Calipari and NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Following Gilgeous-Alexander’s MVP-caliber season with the Oklahoma City Thunder, social media lit up with praise for the Canadian guard, who has blossomed into one of the NBA’s elite. But in a surprising (and hilarious) twist, the official Arkansas men’s basketball account joined the conversation — in a way that left fans both laughing and scratching their heads.

“Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just won MVP. Our head coach John Calipari recruited him. So… technically Razorback Nation just brought home an MVP. #WPS 🐗”

That’s right — Arkansas leaned all the way into their newly minted connection with Coach Cal, who took over the Razorbacks’ program this year after a legendary run at Kentucky. Calipari did indeed recruit and coach Gilgeous-Alexander during his lone season at Kentucky in 2017–18, where SGA rapidly rose to prominence before entering the NBA.

Fans and media outlets quickly caught wind of the post, turning it viral within hours. Responses ranged from applause for the humor to playful jabs from Kentucky faithful.

One fan wrote, “This is elite-level trolling. I respect the hustle.” Another chimed in, “Next thing you know, they’ll be claiming Anthony Davis and Devin Booker too.”

While clearly tongue-in-cheek, the post underscores the excitement surrounding Arkansas basketball as it enters a new era under Calipari — and shows the Razorbacks aren’t afraid to have a little fun with it.
