The Oklahoma City Thunder have secured their championship potential by signing a historic four-year, $285 million supermax contract extension with star player Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.

The groundbreaking agreement follows an extraordinary 2024-25 season for Gilgeous-Alexander, during which he guided the Thunder to their first NBA title since moving to Oklahoma City. Moreover, he claimed a clean sweep of prestigious individual accolades, bagging both the regular-season and Finals MVP awards, as well as the scoring crown – a rare accomplishment only matched by Michael Jordan, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, and Shaquille O’Neal in the same season.

Locking in Gilgeous-Alexander for the long haul is a crucial step for the Thunder, as it keeps their top player anchored as the cornerstone of a team brimming with young talent.
