Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn’t the vocal, in-your-face, trash-talking kind of leader, but still a champion nonetheless, coming off a campaign where he won the scoring title, MVP, and drew LeBron James comparisons. Hall of Fame forward and analyst Charles Barkley called Gilgeous-Alexander a “nice guy” while comparing Gilgeous-Alexander’s approach to James. Perhaps a product of his generation, Gilgeous-Alexander is closer to James than to Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant, two Hall of Fame talents who would get into teammates’ and opponents’ faces in the heat of battle while yielding championship runs.
