Man, if you’re an Oklahoma City Thunder fan right now, you are absolutely LIVING IT! Can you even wrap your head around this past week? Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just officially went out and snatched the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award for the 2024-25 season! And honestly, for anyone who watched him this year, it felt inevitable. But hold up, because the story gets even sweeter, and it shows SGA isn’t just an MVP on the court – he’s a true MVP teammate.
The whole squad is still buzzing, not just from their big Game 1 WCF win over the Timberwolves, but now from this totally unexpected Shedeur Sanders craze that’s taken over the locker room! So why all this extra hype? It’s because SGA isn’t just celebrating an MVP trophy, he’s on the verge of unlocking a contract so massive, so mind-blowing, that it’s got everyone in that building feeling like it’s truly, undeniably, “Perfect Timing.”
So, picture this: SGA gets the MVP news. It’s a monumental moment, the kind players dream about their whole careers. You’d think he’d be soaking in his own well-deserved shine, right? But nah, that’s not Shai. What’s his first move? He immediately turns around and blesses the entire team with Rolexes. Seriously!
Videos started flying around everywhere, showing the Thunder players going absolutely nuts, wrists iced out, flashing their brand-new Rolex watches. And what’s the soundtrack to this epic celebration? None other than Shedeur Sanders’ track, “Perfect Timing.” The videos going viral show OKC players singing the song.
SGA even doubled down on that team-first mentality in his MVP speech, looking straight at his teammates and saying, “Without you guys, none of this would be possible… this award is your award.” And then he goes and hands out Rolexes? That’s him putting his money (and soon, a whole lotta money!) where his mouth is, for real. That’s leadership.
And you gotta admit, it is perfect timing for SGA in more ways than one. Because on top of the MVP and the team success, reports are flying that Shai has most likely punched his golden ticket to sign a Designated Veteran Player Extension. We’re talking a contract potentially worth a staggering $379.8 million!
(This is a developing story… and you just know it’s going to keep getting better!)
