Basketball star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was voted Canada’s top athlete of the year on Monday.

The 25-year-old from Hamilton is the Northern Star Award recipient, formerly the Lou Marsh Trophy, after receiving his first all-NBA nod and leading the Canadian men’s team to a bronze-medal upset of the United States at the Basketball World Cup.

Gilgeous-Alexander is the second basketball player to win the award after Steve Nash grabbed honours in 2005.

He beat out Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid, golfer and Canadian Open champion Nick Taylor, hammer thrower Camryn Rogers and swimmer Summer McIntosh for the award.
