Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Gifts Thunder $10K+ Rolexes After MVP Win

Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander celebrated his MVP award by gifting each of his teammates an extravagant gift basket valued at over $10,000, which included Rolex watches, iPhones, Beats by Dre headphones, and custom Canada Goose jackets commemorating the team's 68-14 season record. This generous gesture extended to all roster players, including those on two-way contracts, and was inspired by a conversation with teammate Jalen Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander emphasized that while the gifts are significant, the MVP honor is far more meaningful and credits his teammates for the achievement, calling them family. The gesture received widespread attention, with videos of teammates proudly showing off their Rolexes going viral. As the MVP award unlocks potential lucrative contracts for Gilgeous-Alexander, he can comfortably afford the gifts, but the act remains a strong symbol of appreciation for his team's role in his success. The Thunder are now advancing in the Western Conference Finals, with Gilgeous-Alexander's leadership central to their promising run.
