The NBA MVP awards for the 2024-25 season belong to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

Shy Gilgauss Alexander was rewarded with his incredible regular season and won the coveted Michael Jordan Trophy.

Averaging League High 32.7 points, he shot 6.4 assists, 5.0 rebounds, 1.7 steel, 1.0 blocks and 51.9% off the field, earning the Oklahoma City Thunder paced for his historic season, earning 68 of 82 regular season games.

Earn MVP and officially cement the legacy of Gilegeous-Alexander as the greatest ever in OKC’s record book.

He became the third Thunder player to be named the league’s most valuable player, after Kevin Durant (2014-15) and Russell Westbrook (2016-17).

And in his MVP speech, Gilgeous-Alexander gave both Thunder icons a special compliment worthy of them.

“It’s amazing. A conversation that involves these two guys, or those who won this award, is hard to wrap around your head,” he said of Durant and Westbrook.

“They did amazing things in the game and changed it in ways they couldn’t see you coming.

“I’m just a kid, a kid, and I can’t choke on anything else other than working on it and seeing where it takes you, and that’s the biggest thing.

“Kevin and I know Russell. I know the kids they have. They just dreamed and worked hard to get to this position and so did I.”

After earning the MVP, there’s no doubt that Gilgeous-Alexander still has only one goal left in his mind. This is to lead lightning towards the peak of the league.

For years, Durant and Westbrook carried lightning to their backs, but unfortunately they failed to deliver one championship to Oklahoma City.

Giving OKC the first NBA title since the franchise moved from Seattle in 2008 would be the poetic fairy tale story of Gilgeous-Alexander this season.

Gilgeous-Alexander is in a promising position to pull it apart as they are 1-0 against the Minnesota Timberwolves in the final of the 2025 Western Conference.
