Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Leads Oklahoma City Thunder to NBA Finals

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's shoe sponsor made a notable move with a new advertisement following the Oklahoma City Thunder's achievement of reaching the NBA Finals on Wednesday. Converse released a video featuring an ant, which appeared to reference Anthony Edwards of the Minnesota Timberwolves, accompanied by the caption 'Nothing left 2 say? Unbelievable.' This moment marks a significant highlight in what has been a remarkable season for Gilgeous-Alexander.
During the regular season, the Thunder finished with an impressive 68-14 record, with Gilgeous-Alexander averaging 32.7 points, 6.4 assists, and 5.0 rebounds per game, ultimately earning him his first MVP award. In the postseason, Oklahoma City demonstrated their strength by sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies in the first round, navigating a tough seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets in the second round, and defeating the Timberwolves in just five games to secure a spot in the NBA Finals for the first time since 2012. Throughout the playoffs, Gilgeous-Alexander maintained stellar performance levels, recording averages of 31.4 points, 8.2 assists, and 5.4 rebounds, which earned him the title of Western Conference Finals MVP.
With the Thunder now just four victories away from capturing their first championship since relocating from Seattle in 2008 and their second overall title in franchise history, the excitement surrounding the team is palpable. They are set to face the winner of the Eastern Conference Finals matchup between the Indiana Pacers and New York Knicks. Given the Thunder's recent performances, they appear to be a formidable opponent for either potential competitor. As Gilgeous-Alexander seeks to secure his inaugural championship ring, it will be interesting to see how Converse responds with their marketing in the aftermath.
