Although he was up against Jalen Williams for a long time, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander finally walked away with the title of Finals MVP. However, an incident with his son on the eve of Game 7 could have had an impact on his performance, and therefore on the result.
Whether you like his style of play or not, whether you think he has an advantage over the referees or not, there’s no denying that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has just completed one of the best seasons in the history of the sport. Surrounded by a team that perfectly complemented his qualities, the Thunder point guard won all the most precious and prestigious titles.
Thanks to his 32.7 points, 6.4 assists and 5 rebounds, to which must be added 2.7 stocks, the Canadian was voted MVP, just one year after his second-place finish. And the pressure of the playoffs didn’t affect his performance in the slightest, as he also enjoyed the title of MVP of the Western Conference Finals, followed by the title of MVP of the Finals on Sunday.
SGA’s all-nighter before Game 7
So if there’s one man who deserves to celebrate this ring in style, it’s SGA. The problem is, he may be young, but he’s already got responsibilities with a toddler at home. In fact, as he explained on ESPN, his son’s screaming could have caused him to miss out entirely.
I hardly slept at all on Saturday, because my son wouldn’t stop shouting at home. But since he came into my life, I see the world differently. I see everything differently. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without my son. I know he’ll understand that one day.
Last Saturday, 24 hours before the most important match of his career, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had to deal with his role as a father and the insomnia of his 1-year-old son. An everyday situation that could have had serious consequences for the Finals. Fortunately, in the end, they were able to celebrate together, even if they didn’t have the same understanding of the situation.
