The year 2025 was an all-timer for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
After becoming just the fourth NBA player ever to win NBA MVP, scoring champion, and Finals MVP all in the same season, the former Kentucky guard is off to another MVP-caliber start in 2025-26. He’s averaging 32.1 points, 6.4 assists, and 4.8 rebounds per game this season for the 29-5 Oklahoma City Thunder. It was announced on Friday that SGA was named the Western Conference Player of the Month for December. Still just 27 years old, he continues to improve and thrive for a small-market franchise that he just led to a championship.
