Thunder’s Jared McCain spends downtime before WCF with viral ‘MJ’ TikTok video

The Oklahoma City Thunder are sitting pretty after going through the first two rounds of the 2026 NBA playoffs unscathed — sweeping both the Phoenix Suns and Los Angeles Lakers on their way to the Western Conference Finals. Now, they’re waiting for the winner of the Minnesota Timberwolves-San Antonio Spurs series, with the Spurs currently holding a 3-2 series lead heading into Game 6 on Friday night.

One of the X-factors who has stepped up for the Thunder in recent games is Jared McCain, their acquisition at the 2026 NBA trade deadline. McCain was a consistent spark plug off the bench for the Thunder in their series against the Lakers, and it’s become very clear that he’s integrated himself fully within the team, both on and off the court.

McCain’s personality has made him quite the hit in the Thunder locker room, as he’s always been active in creating content on social media, particularly on Tiktok. A few Thunder players, such as Jaylin Williams and Jalen Williams, share that inclination. And with OKC in the middle of a day off, McCain had plenty of time giving his own rendition of the viral Michael Jackson trend that’s been going around.

McCain has never been shy to put himself out there in the name of content even though the reactions he draws with the videos he posts tend to be mixed. Whatever the case may be, he simply landed on the perfect team in the Thunder where his lively personality should make him a top hit.

With the Thunder being this dominant in the postseason, they’ve definitely earned the right to do as they please as they await their competition in the Western Conference Finals.

The scary part about facing this OKC team is that they’re locked in regardless of whatever they do on social media. They may love posting “corny” poetic captions on Instagram or cheesy videos on Tiktok, but they are gonna snatch their opponents’ hearts on the court.
