Whether after a big game, a solid performance from himself, a teammate or just a metaphorical victory cigar, Abrines’ post-game selfies are much beloved and have become a tradition.

When Abrines is off the court he’s often seen participating in a Thunder Cares event. The Thunder’s in-house charity presents the events. Whether Abrines is playing bingo at a retirement home or taking a family shopping at a local grocery store the impact reaches deep in the local community.
