Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, NBA MVP, Shares Award With Teammates
Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been awarded the Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the 2024-2025 NBA season. In a gesture of gratitude, the player decided to share his recognition with his teammates.
Gilgeous-Alexander gifted each of his teammates a Rolex watch, fulfilling a promise that arose during the season.
“They asked me: ‘What are you going to give us if you win the MVP?’. I don’t know what brought it up, but watches were part of those conversations. Many people like watches. And who doesn’t?”,

The guard, who led the league with 32.7 points per game, highlighted the importance of the team in his achievement.
“I’d rather have the MVP than a Rolex any day of the week. But without them, I wouldn’t have gotten it. This is the least they deserve,”
