Shai Gilgeous-Alexander wins his second NBA MVP

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander continues to make history in the NBA. The star of the Oklahoma City Thunder has secured the MVP of the 2025/26 season, the second of his career and in consecutive fashion, after also winning the award in 2025. The Canadian point guard emerged victorious in the final vote over Victor Wembanyama and Nikola Jokic, solidifying himself as the league's standout individual player in the past two seasons.

The award caps off another extraordinary season for Gilgeous-Alexander, who led the Thunder to the best record in the Western Conference at an impressive 64-18 in the regular season. Oklahoma City has definitively shown its growth as a championship contender and will now face the NBA 2026 Conference Finals against the San Antonio Spurs.

Individually, the Canadian once again put up superstar numbers. In 68 games played, all starting, he averaged 31.1 points, 6.6 assists, and 4.3 rebounds in 33.2 minutes per game. Additionally, he maintained efficient shooting percentages: 55.3% from the field, 38.6% from three-point range, and 87.9% from the free-throw line.

His impact went beyond scoring. Gilgeous-Alexander continued to make a difference on both ends of the court, also contributing 1.4 steals and 0.8 blocks per game. His consistency throughout the season and ability to lead Oklahoma City in crucial moments ultimately tipped the scales in his favor in the MVP race.

The star of a new dynasty

The Thunder's point guard has become the face of one of the NBA's most solid and young projects. Under his leadership, Oklahoma City not only dominated the West in the regular season but enters the conference finals as one of the top contenders for the title, aiming for back-to-back championships.

The MVP battle once again brought together three completely different profiles. Wembanyama confirmed his meteoric rise as one of the league's present and future stars, while Jokic positioned himself among the world's best players after another outstanding season. However, Gilgeous-Alexander's combination of individual performance and team success proved decisive in the vote.

With this second consecutive MVP, Shai firmly enters the recent historical elite of the NBA and further reinforces Oklahoma City's dream of claiming the championship this season.
