It’s finally happened for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. You can hear the Nuggets fans screaming in agony all around the world. Shai’s confirmed to be this season’s MVP, after an unforgettable battle against Nikola Jokic. This could go either way for the fans, but you have to give credit where credit’s due. The Thunder train goes on, with one foot in the Finals already. But regardless of their success this season, no one is taking Shai’s MVP away from him.
SGA led the NBA in PPG, with 32.7. Oh, and he also averaged 6.4 assists, 5 rebounds, 1.7 steals, and 1 block while shooting 51.9% from the field. Just to let this sink in- ESPN’s Tim MacMahon said that the only other person to average such stats was THE Michael Jordan – when he won the honors in the 1987/88 and 1990/91 seasons.
