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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gilgeous-Alexander gifted each of his teammates a Rolex watch, fulfilling a promise that arose during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“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?”,<\/p>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The guard, who led the league with 32.7 points per game, highlighted the importance of the team in his achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“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,”<\/p>Shai Gilgeous-Alexander<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
This recognition is the result of Gilgeous-Alexander’s constant rise in basketball. In the previous season, he was runner-up in the MVP voting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His offensive dominance and leadership were crucial to the team’s success, including an outstanding semi-final series where Oklahoma City eliminated the Denver Nuggets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The award ceremony was celebrated in an intimate atmosphere, surrounded by his family and the team, marking a significant moment in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
