A generational run for the former Cat.

Good morning, BBN!

The praise doesn’t stop for former Kentucky Wildcats guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who is having one of the greatest summers a professional has had in recent memory.

The list of accolades and accomplishments includes:

  • Regular-season MVP
  • Regular-season scoring title
  • First-Team All-NBA
  • Western Conference Finals MVP
  • NBA Champion
  • NBA Finals MVP
  • Signs the richest NBA contract of all time
  • And now, the Cover of NBA 2K26

The generational run continues ⚡️

This is arguably, although it’s hard to argue against it, the greatest season a former Kentucky player has ever had in the pros.

It’s great to see SGA have his moment. With the OKC Thunder having the youngest team in the NBA, this moment could turn into something truly special over the years.

Best of luck!
