One person doing the next right thing is Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA (as he is known) is 25 years-old and just finished second in voting for the NBA's Most Valuable Player award. In addition to being an incredible player and athlete, he was recently recognized for his leadership skills.
Head Coach Mark Daigneault said, "Just like everything else he does, he's just very steadily, marginally improved as a leader over time. He's learning. He's still learning at 25."
He goes on to add, "Everybody says you lead by example, you lead through your actions. Well, when we draft a new player, when Cason Wallance comes in the door, their eyes go first to him. He's an All-Star, All-NBA player. Max contract. And he's in the gym early, in the gym late, in the weight room. Major focus. The diet's amazing. Everything about his life resolves around him becoming the best player can be."
Coach Daigneault concludes, "He's about the solutions. Let's get this thing fixed. Let's get this right. And he's willing to work towards that. That's the best thing about him. You have all these ups and downs in a game and in a season and it's not a catastrophe with him. He's just focused on getting it right the next possession, the next day, the next game."
