Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, NBA MVP and star of Oklahoma City Thunder, has spoken ahead of the NBA Finals that will begin next Friday against the Indiana Pacers.
In remarks collected by OKC journalist Clemente Almanza, he highlighted that the Indiana Pacers, alongside them, are the best team in the league since January:
"I don't think they have changed much. They were already a very good team back then. At that time, they were on a winning streak. Now, they are too. Since January, both us and them have the best records in the NBA."
Shai talked about the great chemistry within the team:
"We have been as united as possible in a basketball team. The guys are very connected wherever we go... I think it's something natural. I don't think it was forced... It's something you can't take for granted. You never know how many times you can play on a team like this. Especially when basketball becomes a business and not just a kid running around."
"To be the kind of person you want to be, I can't behave like that or it will affect the rest of my team... I understand that I shouldn't show it and I should use it as a weapon for myself. Showing it also gives a weapon to your opponent," he concluded.
