Thunder's Jalen Williams ‘feeling loose' at parade after viral ‘Shirley Temples' comment
The post Thunder's Jalen Williams 'feeling loose' at parade after viral 'Shirley Temples' comment appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Oklahoma City Thunder celebrated their NBA Finals win on Tuesday with a parade. Players and coaches alike were spotted having a good time together and with the fans. Forward Jalen Williams claimed that he was even feeling good after some drinks, despite claiming he was going to originally stick to drinking Shirley Temples. Advertisement In Williams' original statement about drinking alcohol in celebration of the title win, the 24-year-old forward did admit that he was planning on drinking during the parade. It appears he was true to his word. 'I told them at the beginning of the year, 'If we win a championship, I'll drink.' … I had a couple of shots, champagne, had beer. It was all disgusting. I'm gonna stick to Shirley Temples… I can't speak on the parade, though.' After the parade was over, Jalen Williams was spotted holding a box of Don Julio Tequila and a bottle of Moet champagne. He was heard saying that he's 'feeling good' and 'feeling loose.' Jalen Williams and the Thunder more than deserve the celebration. They entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference and owned the top regular-season record in the NBA (68-14). After a hard-fought journey, Oklahoma City took home the championship after defeating the Indiana Pacers 103-91 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Advertisement The one-time All-Star proved to be a fantastic second option behind Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. He emerged as a go-to scoring option for the Thunder, especially in the postseason, which saw him average 21.4 points, 5.5 rebounds, and 4.8 assists per game while shooting 44.9% from the floor and 30.4% from beyond the three-point line. He also helped defensively, averaging 1.4 steals per contest through 23 total games played in the playoffs. It's nice to see the team having fun during the parade. Especially considering how calm the players were immediately after the Thunder won the championship. But this is a team that likely isn't going anywhere anytime soon, as this is a young roster stacked with a ton of talent.

Johnnie Walker, Guinness owner sounds the alarm on higher prices
People have reduced their alcohol consumption, and although liquor companies want you to drink responsibly, they want you to drink often. Alcohol sales have fallen since their peak during the Covid pandemic, the uncertain state of the economy and inflation have led consumers to reduce their spending, and now tariffs have become yet another factor affecting the alcohol industry. 💵💰 💵💰 President Trump implemented new tariffs on products imported into the U.S. from many countries in April, including an additional 10% baseline tariff. A few days later, he announced a 90-day pause on "reciprocal" duties for many countries except the U.S. and China recently agreed to decrease baseline duties to 10% and remove most retaliatory levies for 90 days, giving them time to discuss a more long-term solution. Although the tariffs still threaten the economic future of many companies, those heavily dependent on foreign imports to continue business in the U.S. face the highest risk. Diageo () previously stated that it had taken action over the last few months since Trump's tariff announcement to mitigate the potential impact by readjusting pricing, reanalyzing promotion and inventory management strategies, optimizing the supply chain, and relocating investments. This massive shift caused Diageo to withdraw its mid-term guidance amid the geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainty in its key market sectors. Still, the company promised to provide frequent performance updates to keep investors heavily depends on imports. Since all its top brands are shipped from overseas, it has no choice but to face tariffs. Fortunately, its Canadian and Mexican imported products, which include Crown Royal and Don Julio Tequila, comprise around 50% of U.S. sales and remain exempt from tariffs. However, the Johnnie Walker, Guinness, and Bailey brands are all imported from the UK and Europe and are still subject to a 10% tariff. Diageo warned during its latest earnings call that it expects the U.S. import tariffs to have an annual impact of around $150 million on its business. To mitigate the effects, it plans to enact its Accelerate Program, a cost-cutting initiative that will help it save $500 million over the next three years and enable reinvestment in future growth. However, this initiative will only absorb around half of the impact through leveraging inventory management, supply chain optimization, and cost management, some of which the company has already enacted or is working on. More Retail News:The company also said this cost reduction would be supported by "appropriate and selective disposals" over the next few years, but didn't elaborate. This could suggest that more cuts will be announced in the upcoming months or that one of its assets could be sold in the future. However, Diageo has not confirmed the sale of any brand. Although tariffs continue evolving, the company expects to deliver around $3 billion of free cash flow annually from fiscal 2026, which it hopes will increase as performance improves. "Going forward, we would look to mitigate fully the tariffs, and this is where we have a long track record of managing international tariffs, giving us confidence that we can do this successfully," said Diageo CEO Debra in retrieving data Sign in to access your portfolio Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data Error in retrieving data
