Gilgeous-Alexander's Historic Contract Extension
Jul 1, 2025
From Trade Piece to NBA's HIGHEST PAID PLAYER Ever!
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander just made HISTORY with the most expensive contract in NBA history - a jaw-dropping 4-year, $285 MILLION extension with the Oklahoma City Thunder!
That's over $71 MILLION per year, breaking every salary record the league has ever seen.
But here's the crazy part - remember when SGA was just considered a "throw-in" piece in the Paul George trade to the Clippers? The Thunder were supposedly getting fleeced in that deal, and Shai was viewed as nothing more than a young prospect with potential.
Fast forward to today, and he's not just the face of the Thunder franchise - he's literally the highest-paid player in NBA history!
This is one of the most incredible career transformations we've ever witnessed in professional sports. From being an afterthought in a blockbuster trade to commanding the biggest bag the NBA has ever handed out.
The Thunder went from being in full rebuild mode to having a legitimate superstar who's worth every penny of this record-breaking deal. Shai's evolution from role player to franchise cornerstone is absolutely insane when you really think about it.
What do you think about this historic contract? Did the Thunder make the right move, or is this too much money for any player? Let me know in the comments below!
