He also got MVP and FMVP at the same time! Yali won her first championship at the age of 27, comparable to the letters of James Curry!

July 12, local time in the United States, is Alexander's 27th birthday. For Alexander, the 24-25 season is undoubtedly his season. He is also the biggest winner in the league, and it can be said that he has won both fame and fortune.

Alexander not only led the Thunder to play the best record in the regular season with 68 wins, but also was elected as the MVP and also won the scoring leader. In the playoffs, Alexander averaged 29.9 points, 5.3 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game, leading the team to win the first championship in team history and was elected as FMVP. Alexander also became the sixth player who has won both MVP and FMVP after James, Durant, Curry, Antetokounmpo and Jokic.

Because of successfully leading the Thunder to win the championship, Alexander also received a four-year, 285 million early contract renewal this summer, with an average annual salary of more than $70 million. Not only Alexander, but also Homgren and Jaylen Williams also received maximum salary renewals, with an average annual salary of more than $50 million.

It is worth mentioning that Alexander had already won his first career championship at the age of 27, and thus he was comparable to James, Curry, Antetokounmpo and other superstars. James only won his first career championship in 2012 and was only 27 years old at the time. When Curry won his first career championship in 2015, he happened to be 27 years old. Antetokounmpo, born in 1994, was also 27 years old when he won his first career championship in 2021.

In addition, Tatum successfully won the championship in 2024, and was only 26 years old at the time, but he did not get the FMVP. When Davis won the championship in 2020, he happened to be 27 years old. Jokic won his first career championship in 2024, and was 28 years old at the time, not too old. Durant, who was born in 1988 like Curry, did not win his first career championship until he joined the Warriors in 2017. He was 29 years old at the time.

The above superstars won their first career championships basically the same age, and they all quickly won the championship after entering the peak of their careers. Moreover, James, Durant, Antetokounmpo, Jokic and Alexander all won the FMVP for the first time, while Curry, Davis and Tatum won the championship at that time, but did not win the FMVP. However, when Curry won the fourth championship in his career in 2022, he finally won the FMVP.

It is also worth mentioning that Leonard, who was not 23 years old when he won his first championship in 2014, and he also won the FMVP and became the youngest FMVP in history since he became the Magician. In history, Magic (20 years old), Kobe (21 years old), Duncan (22 years old), and Wade (24 years old) all won their first championships early, and except Kobe, they all won the FMVP. As for Jordan, he won his first championship at the age of 28. Although it is not too late, it is not too early.
