Alexander was praised as Canada s GOAT! He aims to surpass Kobe Bryant in the future and is unwilling to leave Oklahoma City for a big city.

On October 14, there are still 8 days left before the start of the new NBA regular season. As last season's MVP and championship winner, Thunder star Alexander accepted an interview with the US media GQ. During the period, he talked about his goals and said that he enjoyed his time in Oklahoma City and had no interest in big cities.

In last season, Alexander averaged 32.7 points, 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 1 block per game, and was awarded the regular season MVP. In the playoffs, he led his team to win the championship and won FMVP. Talking about his current level, Alexander said: "I still feel that I can still improve to another level. Every offseason you are improving, the league will adapt to this new you, and you learn new things from it. This cycle repeats over and over again. As my career progresses, the game becomes more and more a psychological battle. Now I already know how to play each other on the court. To score from any position, you can get the shot you want. What is more important now is to grasp the timing, maintain peak physical fitness, and know when to exert force and when to seize the key moment."

Alexander also expressed his tribute to some NBA legends: "The reason why I play basketball is to become the best player. Do you want to surpass Kobe, of course I do. As for whether I can reach that level, time will tell. On the court, what I really want to play against are legends like James, Durant, Curry, and Harden. These are the players I grew up watching, who left an indelible mark on basketball history and achieved everything I could only dream of. There’s no better litmus test to see if you have what it takes to achieve their feats than to challenge them directly. "

Alexander was also asked a question: after signing a big contract, why did he not consider buying a house and settling in a city like Miami or Los Angeles, or even moving to Toronto, which is half an hour away by car. Alexander, who grew up in the small town of Hamilton, said: "I like small towns and Oklahoma. I can walk around freely, and most of my neighbors are old people with dogs. During the season, we fly everywhere, and fans are watching us around the clock. In the offseason, I want the exact opposite, so I like to hide here."

Regarding the topic of defending the title, which has attracted much attention, Alexander said: "This is the key, to prove how dominant you can be in your era. Many times in a row Winning the championship undoubtedly proves this dominance. We do have the talent, the team, the chemistry and the experience to win again. But between now and the end of June 2026, a lot of things have to go smoothly. "

In addition, GQ also specially interviewed Nash, another Canadian star. Nash praised Alexander: "He will become a role model for future generations of Canadians. I would like to unreservedly respect him as the greatest player in the history of Canadian basketball (the greatest Canadian player ever). "
