SGA Is the NBA 2K26 Cover Star: Another Massive Win for the MVP
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s meteoric rise has officially hit video game royalty. After a season where he took home the NBA MVP award and led the Oklahoma City Thunder to new heights, the 2K franchise has crowned him as the cover athlete for NBA 2K26.

MVP Season Seals the Deal
SGA’s selection as the cover athlete comes as no surprise. His 2024–25 season was nothing short of elite:
-

📈 30+ PPG scorer
-
⚡ Led OKC to a top seed in the Western Conference
-
💪 Elite two-way playmaker and leader
Whether breaking down defenses with his smooth drives or locking down on defense, Shai emerged as the total package. His quiet confidence, unique fashion, and relentless work ethic made him one of the league’s most respected and magnetic stars.
The Thunder’s Time
Oklahoma City has been on the rise for years, and SGA has been at the center of the rebuild. Now, with MVP honors and the 2K cover to his name, he’s the face of the future—and the now.
This cover marks a new chapter for the Thunder franchise, one that no longer talks about potential but celebrates achievement. OKC fans finally have their superstar not just dominating the league, but also front and center in global culture.
Fans and Players React
The reaction online has been electric, with fans and fellow players alike flooding social media:
“MVP and now 2K cover?! Shai’s in his BAG.”
“He earned it. One of the smoothest guards in the game.”
“OKC really got the face of the league now.”
The Era of SGA Has Arrived
For years, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has flown just slightly under the radar—admired by hoop purists, feared by defenders, but never fully mainstream. Now, with the 2K cover and MVP trophy in hand, that’s all changed.
SGA isn’t next. He’s now.
