Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a two-time MVP, but what that means historically depends on what comes next

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder has won back-to-back NBA MVP awards, making him part of an elite historical group of players to achieve the feat. His place in MVP history, however, will largely be determined by his future performance and continued dominance, particularly with rising star Victor Wembanyama emerging as a top contender. Winning consecutive MVPs puts Gilgeous-Alexander in rare company, but sustaining that level could define his all-time legacy.
