In full All-Star Break, the favorite for the title of MVP 2025 changes agent. This is indeed what is slipped to us by Chris Hayneswho explains that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander will no longer be represented by the Wasserman agency but by … himself!
In fact, this will only concern operations related to its basketball players, since “SGA” will remain supervised on the marketing and extra-basketball plan, by the teams I Love Management.
A decision that is in any case surprising, when you know that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is preparing to negotiate a new contract with the Thunder. This summer, it will be eligible for a “Supermax” type extension of 294.3 million dollars (!) Over four years, which would bind it to its franchise until 2031 after having joined it in 2018.
Before the OKC player did it, we remember that Joel Embiid also made the choice to represent himself. Which had rather brought him luck, with a title of MVP which landed in his bag but also two new contracts unhooked with the Sixers.
These cases are not unique in history since Ray Allen, Tim Duncan or more recently Jaylen Brown had no agent to represent them.
