The biggest superstar in the National Basketball Association right now is continuing to win.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander had the greatest year for a point guard in his seventh season and sixth at Oklahoma City.

The 26-year-old made his third straight All-Star team, third straight All-NBA First Team selection, earned his first-ever league scoring championship, collected his first-ever NBA Most Valuable Player honor, gained his first-ever NBA Championship, and got his first-ever NBA title this season. Alexander got his first signature shoe deal during the 2024-25 season and agreed to a four-year, $285 million extension with the Thunder. SGA’s next accomplishment has now come in the video game world.

ESPN’s Shams Charania reports that Alexander has graced the cover of NBA 2K26.

The former Kentucky standout is quickly becoming the new face of the league with his game.

SGA is undeniably the greatest Thunder of all-time, especially with bringing the franchise a championship.
