In plain English: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander - A Canadian (born in Toronto ON and grew up in Hamilton ON) - was recognized as the best basketball player this year in the world's most elite men's basketball league (NBA). He plays for the Oklahoma City Thunder professionally. He also plays for Team Canada. In a wider sense, he represents an ongoing emergence of basketball talent in this country at the highest level that is decades in the making. Canada's Men's Basketball team is going to be stacked for a while. Canada's Women's Basketball has been globally dominant for a while.
