Each of his teammates from starter to the end of the roster received this gift basket estimated to be worth $10,000.

Gilgeous-Alexander Gives Great MVP Speech
Speaking after being announced as the league’s MVP, Gilgeous-Alexander gave an extremely touching speech.
He started by thanking his teammates and called them his family and brothers. There was thanks to the organization and staff who make their lives as players that much better.
As expected, he thanked his friends from Canada who he’s grown up with and works with during the summer to get better. Then came his blood family, beginning with his brother and then moving on to his parents. The most touching part of his speech came when he thanked his wife Hailey Summers.
“Hailey Summers, thank you for everything you are for me, for our son Ares,” Gilgeous-Alexander said as he started to tear up. “You were the first person to show me what love really meant, what sacrifice really meant… And I can’t wait to spend the rest of this journey called life with you.
“I wouldn’t be the man I am, I wouldn’t be the player I am, the father I am without you. Thank you for that. Thank you everybody.”
