Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has made history as the Oklahoma City Thunder’s inaugural MVP, and the second-ever Canadian to win the award next to Steve Nash, after Wednesday’s announcement.
Following a stellar 2024-25 season, during which he averaged 32.7 points, 6.4 assists and 5.0 rebounds per game, the NBA officially crowned Shai as the MVP.

Ange Postecoglou dared to say it, and his players have gone and done it. The Australian-Greek has won a trophy in his second season, and Tottenham Hotspur‘s first in 17 years.
