HAMILTON — The City of Hamilton has big plans to honour hometown NBA superstar Shai Gilgeous-Alexander.
A celebration of Gilgeous-Alexander will be held Thursday, Aug. 7, and is dubbed as “Shai Rally Day.”
The 26-year-old won the NBA’s MVP award, the regular-season scoring title, NBA Finals MVP and his first NBA title with the Oklahoma City Thunder this past season. He’s the second Canadian in NBA history to win league MVP, joining Steve Nash.
He was also awarded best male athlete at the ESPYs last Wednesday.
