Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named NBA MVP: ESPN

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander earned the NBA Most Valuable Player award for the 2024-25 season, capturing the honor for the first time in his career.
He earned the MVP award after guiding the Oklahoma City Thunder to the league’s best record and achieving a new NBA high in average scoring margin this season.
Gilgeous-Alexander led the NBA in scoring, received 71 of 100 first-place votes from a global panel of writers and broadcasters, and is highly praised by peers including Nikola Jokic and Kenrich Williams.
His MVP recognition continues a seven-year streak of non-U.S.-born players winning the award, the longest in league history, and reflects his role carrying the MVP flag following predecessor Joel Embiid.
This achievement signals Gilgeous-Alexander's elevated status as the franchise cornerstone for the Thunder and enhances expectations for his future, including potential Olympic participation and further team success.
