Although Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander crystallized his legacy in winning the league MVP award and a scoring title en route to winning Finals MVP after leading his team to its first championship in franchise history, he had plenty to say about his All-Star teammate, Jalen Williams. Gilgeous-Alexander, Williams, and Chet Holmgren are leading the Thunder to through its championship window , thus GM Sam Presti’s three max contract extensions.
Gilgeous-Alexander discussed Williams playing through the Thunder’s championship run with a torn ligament in his right wrist during Media Day.

“Dub — he’s a warrior. He just did whatever it took. And he’s been that all year. He’s been that since he got here. He’s been that for us. He’s been like a Swiss Army knife and just does whatever,” Gilgeous-Alexander said. “We have no bigs, he plays the 5. On a broken wrist, he has 40 in the Finals — he’s a competitor at his heart, and when that kicks in, it takes over and he’s a winner because of it. It’s impressive what he’s done. I’m not surprised, though.
“He’s a big-time talent, big-time competitor, big-time personality, and he stepped into those moments because of it,” Gilgeous-Alexander concluded.
The Thunder wrapped up Day 2 of training camp on Wednesday.
