Even as Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was being recognized as Canada's best athlete, he stayed humble. The Oklahoma City Thunder guard officially received the Northern Star Award as Canada's top athlete of 2023 on Friday morning, hours before facing the Toronto Raptors.
Hamilton's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in the midst of an MVP-calibre season ahead for the Oklahoma City Thunder, but his impact on the city goes far beyond his eye-popping stats. Gilgeous-Alexander plays against the Houston Rockets during the second half of an NBA basketball game Sunday, Feb. 25, 2024, in Houston.
“It's exciting for me because I want to see how much more work I can put in and see how much more I can accomplish,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. Montreal's Luguentz Dort, who is Gilgeous-Alexander's teammate on the Thunder and Canada's Olympic team, said it was great to see his friend succeed.
