Two Canadian basketball stars,
Shai
Gilgeous-Alexander and Pascal Siakam, have drawn major attention with their remarkable 2025 MVP-level performances. Shai's skilful leadership with the Oklahoma City Thunder has quickly placed him among the league's rising stars.
At the same time, Pascal's hard work and championship background with the Indiana Pacers showcase his strong presence on the court. Off the court, both players have made smart decisions to grow their wealth. Now, let's have a look at the
fortune
of the 2025 MVPs.
What is Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's net worth in 2025?
According to Forbes, as of May 2025, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is said to possess almost $61.2 million. His NBA paychecks, sponsorships, and shrewd business decisions create this massive fortune.
Back in August 2021, he signed a five-year deal with the Oklahoma City Thunder. About $179.3 million this deal was valued; average per year was over $35 million. He is receiving only $35.8 million in salary during the 2024-25 NBA season. The numbers were listed by Spotrac, a trusted site for athlete contracts.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, nevertheless, makes money not only from basketball. In 2024, he signed a $15 million a year contract with Converse, who also launched his own shoe, the "Shai 001."

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was born on July 12, 1998, in Toronto, Canada. Hamilton Heights Christian Academy in Chattanooga saw his high school Basketball play. He then announced for the 2018 NBA Draft after only one season at the University of Kentucky. With the eleventh overall selection, the Charlotte Hornets picked him, but his time there was brief.
On draft night, he was sent to the Los Angeles Clippers. Then, a year later, he was sent to the Oklahoma City Thunder, where his performance actually flourished.
What is Pascal Siakam's net worth in 2025?
Pascal Siakam, who is currently playing for the Indiana Pacers, has also built a strong wealth. By 2025, it was estimated at about $ 45 million based on celebrity network data.
By 2023, he signed a four-year deal with the Toronto Raptors, valued at $ 136.9 million.
He was traded to the Indiana Pacers in January 2024 and now earns about $ 34.2 million a year with this agreement.
Though Shai Gilgeous-Alexander may have more brand sponsorships overall, Pascal Siakam's endorsements are still effective. He has partnered with New Balance and Tangerine Bank among other businesses. His endorsement income is thought to be between $4 million and $5 million annually.
Pascal Siakam was born in Douala, Cameroon April 2, 1994.
Later moved to New Mexico State University to play Collegiate Basketball. Selected 27th place in the Toronto Raptors in the NBA draft in 2016. By 2020, he had become an NBA All-Star.
Pascal Siakam summarized his attitude perfectly after a crucial playoff victory with the Indiana Pacers in May 2025: 'Every year is a fresh opportunity. His remarks show the same passion and work ethic that have allowed him to develop as a person and as a player. I only want to improve.'
Though both are stars, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander edges ahead in both salary and brand value, shaping his place as not just an MVP but also a top-earning celebrity in the league.

Stewart Friesen wins thrilling triple-OT Truck Series race in Michigan
Stewart Friesen hoisted his first trophy of the season in Saturday afternoon's triple overtime DQS Solutions & Staffing 250 at Michigan International Speedway - a NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series race that didn't want to end, ultimately featuring 24 extra laps. The victory snapped a 72-race winless streak for the popular Canadian driver Friesen who had not been among the race's frontrunners all day but was where he needed to be when it counted, collecting his first trophy since winning at Texas Motor Speedway back in 2022. His No. 52 Halmar Friesen Racing Toyota beat Grant Enfinger's Chevy by a slight .111-second - both drivers benefitting from a rash of late-race caution flags. With most drivers opting for the outside row on the final restart, Friesen was able to move up and take that inside position on the front row alongside Enfinger. The two of them dueled it out over the next two overtime laps to settle the trophy. Neither had a win coming into the race. "I don't know what to say, thank you to Chris Halmer and all these sponsors and all these race fans, I know there's a lot of Canadians and a lot of Americans,'' Friesen said as the crowd began a huge roar of approval for the 41-year-old Ontario native as he celebrated his fourth career win. While not a victory, the runner-up effort equaled a season-best for Enfinger and the CR7 Motorsports team. "I don't know,'' he said when asked if there was anything he possibly could have done differently. "We weren't as good as we thought we were in practice, but man, Jeff kept swinging stuff at it and got gutsy with both calls, the call to stay out and the call to come in. ... Feel like all in all, we executed to the best of our ability, but it just wasn't meant to be.'' ThorSport Racing's Luke Fenhaus, who won his first career pole position for the race, finished third, followed by his teammate, two-time series champion Ben Rhodes and Spire Motorsports' Corey LaJoie making only his sixth truck series start. The opening two stages of the event went caution-free except for the stage breaks, but the final stage featured seven caution flags. The overtime periods put a dramatic spin on the win. A big wreck on a restart with five laps remaining eliminated several of the day's strongest competitors - Ross Chastain, who was leading at the time and championship leader Corey Heim, who swept both stages and led 29 laps running top five most of the day. It all created a seemingly dream scenario for another of the race's best - NASCAR Cup Series regular and Michigan native, Carson Hocevar, who was trying to win his first national series race at his home track. He survived much of the late race melee only to get a penalty following the second overtime green flag for pulling out of line too early on the restart. He led a race-high 56 laps but ultimately finished 11th. Matt Crafton, Jake Garcia, Chandler Smith, rookie Andres Perez De Lara and Layne Riggs rounded out the top-10 in the first NASCAR CRAFTSMAN Truck Series race at the track since 2020. Actor Frankie Muniz finished 14th - his best finish since a 10th place in the Daytona season-opener. Despite his 18th place finish, Heim stretched out his championship lead and now holds a 133-point advantage over Chandler Smith. The NASCAR Craftsman Truck Series takes a week off while the NASCAR Xfinity and Cup Series race in Mexico City next weekend. The trucks resume competition on June 20 in the Miller Tech Battery 200 at Pocono Raceway . Heim is the defending race winner.

In a post on X, Arya highlighted the shared values between India and Canada and underscored how a deep relationship with India is imperative for Canadian interests. Taking to X, Arya said, 'We look forward to the visit of @narendramodi to Canada for the G7 meeting during June I met @narendramodi last July, I emphasized that Canada and India are united by shared values--democracy, pluralism, and a rules-based international order.'

He further added, 'It is in Canada's national economic, strategic, and geopolitical interest to forge a deeper, more structured relationship with India--one that spans trade, investment, policy, and civil society.' Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday (local time) that G7 countries will discuss important issues, including security and energy, in their upcoming summit, adding that India's presence at the intergovernmental political and economic forum is essential. Carney said that India, being the fifth-largest economy and the most populous country in the world, must be at the seat. 'Let's put the two aspects in context- first is, we are in the role- Canada's in the role of the G7 chair and in those discussions as agreed with our G7 colleagues, include important discussions on energy, security, on digital future, critical minerals amongst others and partnerships actually in building infrastructure in the emerging and developing world,' he said.

Congratulated him on his recent election victory and thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this month. As vibrant democracies bound by deep people-to-people ties, India and Canada will work together with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests. Look forward to our meeting at the Summit,' PM Modi wrote in his post. The G7 Summit (Group of Seven) is an informal grouping of seven of the world's advanced economies and the European Union.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander says he hopes to mirror Kobe Bryant's competitive fire after crushing Game 1 loss to Indiana Pacers
(Image Source - Getty Images) The thunder rumbled early — but it didn't stay loud for long. Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander dazzled with a stunning 38 points in his NBA Finals debut, yet he was left powerless as Tyrese Haliburton's buzzer-beater left the Oklahoma City Thunder stunned, 111–110. In the aftermath, the newly minted MVP tapped into his inner Kobe Bryant , stating he wants to "emulate that competitive fire" even in defeat. With that Mamba mindset fired up, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is focused on transforming the disappointment of Game 1 into the drive for a comeback. Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander leans on Kobe Bryant's legacy to ignite OKC's Finals fightback The Thunder arrived at the Finals flaunting the top record in the NBA—68–14 in the regular season and a powerful playoff journey. Game 1 seemed to go as expected: a 15-point lead in the fourth quarter, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander lighting up the scoreboard, the Thunder owning the boards, and forcing 19 turnovers. However, Indiana surged in the closing moments—Haliburton nailed the game-winner with just 0.3 seconds to go, ruining what was otherwise a nearly perfect performance. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander said this about Kobe Bryant, 'That's probably my favorite player of all time. I never got the chance to meet him… but not only me, for kids all across the world, his influence has gone through the roof and his legacy will be remembered forever because of the competitor and the basketball player that he was. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Walgreens Keeps Quiet About This '9 Pills for $7' Generic Cialis Deal Friday Plans Get Offer Undo Hopefully I'm somewhere close to that as a basketball player one day. But he was a special talent, special person, and God rest his soul. ' Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's 38 points were more than just important—they're historic in the NBA. This marks the third-highest scoring performance by a guard in their first Finals, following only Allen Iverson (48 in 2001) and George Mikan (42 in 1949). However, even with such an impressive feat, winning isn't assured—Indiana's perfect play in the clutch and their bench's shooting (all five starters hit double digits) shifted the momentum. The Finals are definitely a marathon, not just a quick sprint. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault reflected this idea, stressing the need for adaptability and staying calm after the defeat. With SGA channeling Kobe's unyielding spirit, OKC appears prepared to treat Game 2—and the whole series—as a clean slate. Also Read: Mark Daigneault defends Oklahoma City Thunder's mindset amid rising pressure and home-court stakes Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's stellar performance in Game 1 proved he can score alongside the legends. Yet, it's his mindset—fueled by his respect for Kobe Bryant—that may shape the future of OKC. As the Thunder gear up for Game 2, their MVP's promise to "reflect that competitive fire" could be the spark that changes a devastating loss into a historic turnaround.
