Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Eyes Historic Double: MVP and Championship Glory
The 2025 NBA Finals are finally here, and the spotlight is firmly fixed on one man: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. After being named the 2024-25 Kia NBA Most Valuable Player, SGA is now on the cusp of joining an elite fraternity—those who have won both the MVP and an NBA Championship in the same season. It's a rare and legendary achievement, one that only 12 players in NBA history have accomplished. That’s right—just 12 names, including giants like Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Magic Johnson, have reached the peak of individual and team success in a single year.
And now, it’s Shai’s moment.

The Oklahoma City Thunder have defied expectations all season long. Young, hungry, and incredibly well-coached, they’ve powered through the Western Conference with a fearless blend of athleticism and discipline. But SGA has been the engine, the calm amidst chaos, orchestrating the game with poise, confidence, and unmatched skill. Averaging elite numbers and often taking over in crunch time, he’s been a walking masterclass in how to lead.
Winning the MVP is no small feat. SGA edged out two giants—Nikola Jokić and Giannis Antetokounmpo—for the top honor, signaling his rise into true superstardom. But he’s not content with accolades. No, the MVP is just one half of the mission. What he wants—what every great wants—is the ring.
Game 1 of the NBA Finals against the Indiana Pacers tipped off with the world watching. Every dribble, every possession now carries more weight. If SGA and the Thunder can outlast the Pacers, Shai won’t just be the face of Oklahoma City—he’ll be etched into basketball history forever. This isn’t just about winning a title; it’s about immortality. This is the kind of legacy-defining moment that turns stars into legends.
From Michael Jordan’s dominance in the '90s to Stephen Curry's magical 2015 run, the MVP-plus-championship combo has always symbolized something more—true, unchallenged excellence. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is now within reach of that golden echelon. And the best part? It feels like we’re just witnessing the beginning.
So if you’re a fan of the game, take note. History is unfolding, and Shai is writing his chapter. Let’s see if the final page ends with him lifting that Larry O’Brien Trophy, adding his name to a list that’s nothing short of legendary.
