Hamilton Honors Shai Gilgeous-Alexander After Historic Season

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was honored in Hamilton, Ontario, following a historic NBA season in which he led the Oklahoma City Thunder to their first championship and won the regular season MVP, Finals MVP, and the scoring title. During 'Shai Rally Day,' thousands attended as Mayor Andrea Horwath presented him with the Key to the City and announced a street would be named after him. Gilgeous-Alexander credited Hamilton's spirit for his success and expressed deep pride in his roots. The celebration included local sports game appearances and autograph sessions with fans. His achievements this season place him alongside legends Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O'Neal as the only players to win those honors in a single year. The event highlighted both his basketball accomplishments and his ongoing ties to the community.
