Even though the Oklahoma City Thunder saw their 15-game win streak snapped at the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is bullish on his team's future. The Thunder star is so happy in Oklahoma City, that he doesn't want to play anywhere else.

"I can only speak for myself. I love Oklahoma City and I can’t see a world where I’m not in Oklahoma City," Gilgeous-Alexander said. "I’m comfortable where I am. I like where I am. I love the people in the organization, love the people around me, and those are the things that matter.

"I go to work every day with a smile on my face. Me personally, the market doesn’t matter. The money doesn’t matter to a certain extent. But as long as I enjoy what I’m doing at a very high level, I love the people that I’m around doing it."

Gilgeous-Alexander has two seasons beyond this one remaining on his contract with the Thunder. The MVP candidate will be extension-eligible this offseason. However, Gilgeous-Alexander could delay signing an extension, until he's able to add a fifth year to his deal in the summer of 2026.

Damn he's out.

I'm unsure why athletes go down this road. If he plays anywhere now other than OKC, some troll will grab this excerpt and run with it. I appreciate his candor, but this will eventually come back to bite him.
