Shai Gilgeous-Alexander named MVP: Thunder star becomes just 14th player to win back-to-back awards

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder has been named NBA Most Valuable Player for the second consecutive season, making him just the 14th player in league history to win back-to-back MVP awards. He beat out San Antonio Spurs' Victor Wembanyama and Denver Nuggets' Nikola Jokić for the honor. Jokić himself is a three-time MVP winner, making Gilgeous-Alexander's victory over the field particularly notable.
