Josh Giddey is an Australian professional basketball player in the NBA who has the advantage of playing in various positions, such as the small forward, the power forward, or the shooting guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder. Despite being in his third season, he is already breaking records, such as being a Rookie with four triple-doubles.
Selected by the Thunder as the sixth overall pick in 2021, he has been praised for his potential, being honored as a member of the NBA All-Rookie Second Team next year. Giddey could record a triple-double, making history as the youngest player in NBA history to do so at the young age of 19 years and 84 days.
In the three seasons of his career with the OKC Thunder, Josh Giddey maintains high points per game: 13.9 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 5.7 assists across 210 regular-season games.
Giddey’s 2023-24 Season Stats
Average | Rank | |
---|---|---|
Points | 12.3 | 101st |
Rebounds | 6.4 | 47th |
Assist | 4.8 | 47th |
FG% | 47.5 | 72nd |
Josh Giddey’s talents on the court have translated into financial success, with a net worth estimated at around $10 million in 2024. His endorsements further complement this with Nike for his shoes and apparel and his NBA earnings.
Being a rookie, he currently has a contract of four years, signed for $3.5 million, which could go as high as $27.9 million by 2025, and there is no doubt that his financial prospects will be good if suitable investment and financial planning are made.
Basketball came inherited from Josh Giddey as both parents enjoyed their playing time at university level basketball. His mother, Kim Giddey, is a former player for the Melbourne Tigers women’s basketball team in WNBL, while his father, Warrick Giddey, featured for Illawarra Hawks and Melbourne Tigers in NBL and was part of the triumphant team that won two NBL championships for the Melbourne tigers in1993 and 1997.
Currently working as a coach, Warrick is still active within the Melbourne basketball scene, coaching Melbourne Tigers’ women’s team since 2022. Giddey’s dream to join the NBA is similar to his father, setting something in stone in basketball.
In addition, Josh Giddey has recently signed a sponsorship deal for shoes and apparel with Nike, making him among the select athletes to be associated with the company. This long-term deal indicates that the NBA has noticed Giddey and is willing to endorse him for several years.
Despite Giddey’s successful basketball career, one significant success that may be anticipated has not yet been accomplished – an NBA championship. Still, his time in the league is proof of owning skills, spirit, and thirst for triumph.
Giddey is still dedicating all his efforts to the team’s success. While it remains unclear where exactly his goals and ambitions are pointing, one can assume that a championship title is deeply entrenched in his considerations.
