Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the reigning #NBA champion Oklahoma City Thunder won the Kia "NBA’s Most Valuable Player" award for the second consecutive year. He became the 18th player to win at least two MVP awards and the 14th to win them in back-to-back fashion 🏀🔥.

The win for Gilgeous-Alexander, who is Canadian, marks the eighth consecutive time that the NBA’s MVP was born outside the U.S. The run started with Milwaukee’s Giannis Antetokounmpo (born in Greece, of Nigerian descent) in 2019 and 2020, then Denver’s Nikola Jokic (Serbia) in 2021 and 2022, Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid (born in Cameroon but has since become a U.S. citizen) in 2023 and Jokic again in 2024.

The MVP win is Gilgeous-Alexander’s second major individual award this season; he was also voted the league’s "Clutch Player of the Year".
