Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has already won the 2025 NBA MVP award. Is a Finals MVP next for the All-Star guard?

Gilgeous-Alexander is the betting favorite to hoist the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player as the Thunder set to face the Indiana Pacers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday.

If he's able to accomplish the feat, Gilgeous-Alexander would become the 11th player in NBA history to win the league MVP and Finals MVP in the same season, joining Willis Reed (1969-70), Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (1970-71), Moses Malone (1982-83), Larry Bird (1983-84, 1985-86), Magic Johnson (1986-87), Michael Jordan (1990-91, 1991-92, 1995-96, 1997-98), Hakeem Olajuwon (1993-94), Shaquille O'Neal (1999-00), Tim Duncan (2002-03) and LeBron James (2011-12, 2012-13).
