Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is rapidly becoming one of the biggest stars in the NBA. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard has elevated his game to new heights this season, leading his team to a league-best 44-10 record while establishing himself as a frontrunner for MVP honors.
Averaging a remarkable 32.5 points, 6.1 assists, and 5.1 rebounds per game, Gilgeous-Alexander has showcased his ability to dominate both ends of the floor. His efficient scoring and relentless work ethic have solidified him as one of the premier players in the NBA, and the Thunder are reaping the benefits, sitting eight games ahead of the second-seeded Grizzlies in the Western Conference.
Unlike many modern superstars, SGA is fully committed to his craft rather than off-court ventures.
“I just live my life,” he said. “I come to work every day. I hoop. I interact with my fans. I love my family, call my friends. I do everything normal people do. I’m nobody special. I’m just like the rest of y’all, for y’all wondering what I’m like.”
With the Thunder positioned for a deep playoff run, Gilgeous-Alexander’s influence on the NBA continues to grow. His leadership and talent have sparked conversations about his future as a face of the league.
“Being the face of the league would be special,” he said. “At the end of it, I can just try to be the best basketball player I can be, the best person I could be, the best role model I could be for all the kids growing up trying to play basketball.”
