Inside the Epic Rivalry Shaping the 2026 NBA MVP Race: Assassin or Alien?
It should have been the easiest MVP decision in years.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is the reigning MVP and Finals MVP, and he’s even better this season. He is the best player on the best team, and he has been that for the entire season from the Thunder’s absurd 24-1 start all the way to a 64-18 finish to hold on to the top seed.
The case for Shai to win a second-straight MVP should be the cleanest, most boring, most airtight argument in basketball. Best player, best team, historic consistency, game winners, defending champion. Pencils down. Go home.
