Gilgeous-Alexander Named MVP

The National Basketball Association (NBA) has announced that Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been named the 2024-25 NBA MVP. 

Gilgeous-Alexander averaged 32.7 PPG, 5 RPG and 6.4 APG this season. 

Gilgeous-Alexander said...

"I always thought that I could be a really good player because I had seen what putting your head down and working and controlling what you control can do for you. I made tremendous strides, but I never thought this would happen.

"I dreamt about it as a kid, but as a kid, it's a fake dream. But as the days go on and you realize that you get closer to your dream, it's hard to not freak out. It's hard to not be a six year old kid again. And I think that's what's allowed me to achieve it. I tried to just not focus on it and just worry about what's gotten to this place."

Gilgeous-Alexander received 71 of the 100 first place votes on his way to the first MVP award of his career.
