Shai Gilgeous-Alexander With Commanding 2024-25 NBA Season
SGA did have a great season with Nikola Jokic once again contesting for the regular season MVP award. Although this was the first time the OKC star was in the discussion for the MVP award, his consistency earned him the accolade. The guard had a breakout season that saw him win his first scoring title and guide the Oklahoma City Thunder to a league-best 68-14 record (franchise record too), all while setting career highs in points, assists and blocks per game.
In the finals, Shai averaged 30 points, 5.4 rebounds, 6.4 Assists, 1.7 steals and nearly a block per game. In the regular season, SGA’s stats were even impressive with 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals and a block average. With the young team proving themselves on the biggest stage, OKC is now seen as a legit championship contender for years to come, and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is at the center of this turnaround.
