Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander celebrated his MVP award by lavishing his teammates with some remarkably expensive gifts.
ESPN’s Shams Charania reported on “NBA Today” Thursday that Gilgeous-Alexander presented each of his teammates with a gift basket on Wednesday after being named MVP. These were not just normal gifts, either.
Charania said everyone on the roster, from starters to two-way players, received a gift basket that included a Rolex watch, an iPhone, Beats By Dre headphone sets, and Canada Goose jackets. The jackets were custom-embroidered with the team 68-14 record to commemorate the season they had.
Each gift basket contained more than $10,000 worth of gifts.
Thunder forward Jaylin Williams posted video Wednesday night of he and his teammates showing off their new Rolexes.

Gilgeous-Alexander certainly went above and beyond in treating his teammates after winning the award. His emotional comments after winning the honor will also win him a lot of fans.
The star guard is making over $35 million this season, and will be eligible for a $380 million supermax contract next season after winning MVP. He can certainly afford the gifts, but that does not make the gesture any less great.
