Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, after winning the MVP and his first ring: "It doesn't seem real, so many.."

Season and NBA Finals MVP, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, led the Oklahoma City Thunder with 29 points and 12 assists in Game 7 against the Indiana Pacers. After the game, he commented:

"It doesn't feel real. So many hours. So many moments. So many emotions. So many nights of disbelief. So many nights of faith. It's crazy to know that we are here, but this group worked to achieve it. This group deserves it."

Coach Mark Daigneault praised the mentality of his team: "They behave like champions. They compete like champions. They rejoice in their teammate's success, something rare in professional sports. I've said it many times, and I'll say it again: they are an uncommon team and now they are champions."

The championship is also the culmination of the long-term vision of General Manager Sam Presti, who in 2019 wrote in The Oklahoman: "As we bid farewell to the past, we have begun to chart our future. The next great Thunder team is out there somewhere, but it will take time to conquer and discipline to sustain it."
