The Oklahoma City Thunder guard officially received the Northern Star Award as Canada’s top athlete of 2023 on Friday morning, hours before facing the Toronto Raptors. Gilgeous-Alexander is a contender to win the NBA’s most valuable player award this season as the Western Conference-leading Thunder close in on a playoff berth and he’ll represent Canada at this summer’s Paris Olympics.
“It’s exciting for me because I want to see how much more work I can put in and see how much more I can accomplish,” said Gilgeous-Alexander. Montreal’s Luguentz Dort, who is Gilgeous-Alexander’s teammate on the Thunder and Canada’s Olympic team, said it was great to see his friend succeed.
