BREAKING: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just secured the bag and cemented his place in NBA history. The Oklahoma City Thunder star has agreed to a 4-year, $285 million super max extension—the highest average annual salary ever. Fresh off a Finals MVP, regular-season MVP, and OKC’s first NBA title, the 26-year-old Canadian is now one of the league’s biggest global stars.⁠ ⁠ He’s just the fourth player ever to win MVP, Finals MVP, a scoring title, and a championship in the same season, joining Kareem, Jordan, and Shaq. Shai scored 3,172 points this year (playoffs included), the ninth-most in NBA history, and dropped 30+ in 64 games—a list that only includes names like Wilt and MJ.
