A no-nonsense, Hamilton-style mentality is the secret to success for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Yesterday, the man known as “SGA” was awarded the National Basketball Association’s Most Valuable Player — becoming only the second Canadian to achieve the honour. The Oklahoma City Thunder point guard claimed 71 first-place votes, beating out Nuggets centre Nikola Jokić and Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo. A historic day for Canadian sports. The Hamilton-raised star was quick to credit everyone around him — on and off the court — for his success, including his roots here at home.
