The 2024-25 NBA MVP race is heating up, with the second ESPN straw poll by ESPN's Tim Bontemps showing a shift in the voting. Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has surpassed Nikola Jokić for the top spot,

Nuggets center Nikola Jokic found himself in familiar territory as the second half of the season began to dawn, firmly entrenched in this season's MVP race alongside Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

A pair of the league’s top scorers take the court when Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (first, 32.6 points per game) and the Oklahoma City Thunder (44-9) visit Anthony Edwards (fifth, 27.5) and the Minnesota Timberwolves (30-25) on February 13,

The Thunder (43-9) have won six in a row. Last time out, they saw their projected starting lineup play for the first time this season. They blew out the New Orleans Pelicans on Monday. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had 31 points and Chet Holmgren tallied five blocks.

It's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder against Anthony Edwards the Minnesota Timberwolves on Sunday night at Target Center in Minneapolis.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was recently caught hilariously reacting to the Timberwolves crowd's "Free Throw Merchant" chants.

After All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder defeated the Utah Jazz 130-107, he opened up about his decision to let go of his agent. After playing in his third All-Star Game, news broke that Gilgeous-Alexander parted ways with his representation. A reporter asked Shai about that decision after Friday's blowout win.

According to OptaSTATS, he has scored at least 20 points in each of his last 50 games where he played under 40 minutes. The next longest streak of that nature is only 30 games. When SGA is pulled out of a game early, it's because he's done more than enough to earn the rest and put the game out of reach for his opponents.

The Oklahoma City Thunder continue their dominant season, and star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander made sure to celebrate in more ways than one. The All-Star guard led the way with 37 points, eight rebounds and eight assists as the Thunder took down the Minnesota Timberwolves 130-123 in a thrilling Western Conference battle on Sunday.

The Thunder could not have given Daigneault a better gift, as there is nothing that validates a coach's hard work more than the consistent winning basketball his team can play. But Gilgeous-Alexander has other ideas for what gift to deliver to the young head coach.
