NBA fans hilariously react to Chet Holmgren’s confusing reason for wearing a watch

Oklahoma City Thunder star Chet Holmgren has confused NBA fans with his latest off-court take.

The Oklahoma City Thunder are currently preparing for the 2026-27 NBA season after failing to repeat as league champions last season.

If the Thunder want to avoid last season’s mistakes, they need players other than Shai Gilgeous-Alexander to improve, and Chet Holmgren is undoubtedly on that list.

NBA fans are already talking about Holmgren, but it’s not about his basketball prowess. Instead, the Thunder star recently made a statement that baffled NBA fans.

The OKC Thunder star recently gave his two cents on why people wear watches in this era, and it was far from a normal statement.

NBA fans didn’t let it slide and made various comments on the 24-year-old’s confusing take.

“Chet Holmgren’s watch… more statement than stopwatch,” a fan wrote. While another added, “Chet Holmgren doesn’t check the time… he advertises it.”

“Dude can’t tell time,” a third fan stated. “Chet, you’re not tough,” a fourth fan told the OKC Thunder star.
