Oklahoma City Declares Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Day After MVP Win
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the Oklahoma City Thunder star, was named the 2024-25 NBA Most Valuable Player after an outstanding regular season where he averaged 32.7 points and 6.4 assists per game. In recognition of his historic achievement and significant contribution to Oklahoma City, Mayor David Holt proclaimed May 22, 2025, as "Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Day," marking a special honor for the guard and the city. Gilgeous-Alexander is the third Thunder player to win the MVP award, joining Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook, and his performance has helped propel the Thunder to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2015-16. The city also celebrated his contributions by displaying his initials and "MVP" on the Devon Tower, the tallest building in Oklahoma City. Following a decisive 114-88 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 1 of the Western Conference finals, Gilgeous-Alexander tallied 31 points and nine assists, underscoring his role as the team's leader. The Thunder and their MVP star prepare to continue their playoff run with Game 2 scheduled shortly after the proclamation.
