OKLAHOMA CITY –Shai Gilgeous Alexander put the finishing touches on one of the most impressive individual seasons in NBA history by hoisting the Bill Russell trophy, awarded to the Finals MVP, almost six years after arriving in Oklahoma City as part of the return in a blockbuster trade that signaled the Thunder’s shift toward a rebuild.
After his team’s 103-91 win in Game 7 over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday, Gilgeous-Alexander joined an exclusive list of players to win the MVP and Finals MVP in the same season. The only others to accomplish that feat are Michael Jordan (four times), LeBron James (twice), Larry Bird (twice), Tim Duncan, Shaquille O’Neal, Hakeem Olajuwon, Magic Johnson, Moses Malone, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Willis Reed.
