Oklahoma City Thunder guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is named NBA Most Valuable Player for a second consecutive season, multiple outlets report. ESPN is cited as saying he has been voted MVP for the second year in a row, with several reports stating the official announcement comes on Sunday evening. The Thunder player is widely described as edging out other finalists, including Nikola Jokic and Victor Wembanyama, though specific vote details are not provided in the coverage. Several outlets note that the award makes him the 14th player in NBA history to win MVP in back-to-back seasons and the 18th to win at least two MVP awards overall. Coverage also identifies Gilgeous-Alexander as a Canadian, from Hamilton, Ontario. After the announcement, at least one report says he receives the Michael Jordan Trophy from NBA Commissioner Adam Silver ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals, indicating the award ceremony follows shortly after the MVP decision is confirmed. Sources consistently frame the season achievement as Gilgeous-Alexander’s repeat MVP selection and highlight its historical significance in league awards.
