Tim MacMahon, reporting for ESPN;
This is the fourth straight season that Gilgeous-Alexander finished in the top five in MVP voting. He finished fifth in 2022-23 and second in 2023-24 before winning the past two seasons.
In that span, Gilgeous-Alexander became the first player since Jordan to average at least 30 points per game in four consecutive seasons.
Aside from Wemby, no one can challenge SGA for the MVP awards.
Stat-wise, SGA in the regular season is averaging 31.1 points, 4.3 rebounds, 6.6 assists at 55.3% field goal percentage.
