by

Note from the publisher: The NBA MVP Award is coordinated by 100 media members selected by the league. The coordination occurs before the night season. Jeff Zillgitt, Sports Reporter from USA Today, has a vote.

ESPN has reported that the Thunder Guard from Oklahoma City, Shai Gilgeous-Aalexander, won the NBA Prize for the NBA 2025.

Gilgeous-Alexander and Denver Nuggets' All-Star Center Nikola Jokić were considered the leader for honor. Milwaukee Buck's striker Giannis Antetocounmpo, a finalist, was also part of the conversation.

The NBA MVP award winner will be officially announced on Wednesday, May 21st, before game 1 of the semi -finals of the Eastern Conference (7:00 p.m. ET, TNT).

When comparing the statistics of the front runners, the choice was not as clear as in a few earlier years.

Gilgeous-Alexander scored an average of 32.7 points in the league and directed the league with 7.9 free throws per game. On the other hand, Jokić filled out the statistics: he achieved an average of 29.6 points behind Antetocounmpo and made double-digit rebound (3rd) and assists (2nd).

Jokić led the league in Triple-Double (34) and was number 1 in the player efficiency rating (Pro)-a measurement of the positive and negative game with an evaluation of 32.12, which was the second highest of his career.

Gilgeous-Alexander Pro was on the second best with 30.73. It is rare that a guard has reached one of at least 30 years. James Harden in 2018-19 was the last guard of Top 30. Gilgeous-Alexander's brand is the second highest of a security guard in the last decade, which Steph Curry's 31.56 has finished in 2015-16.

Gilgeous-Alexander's 2,484 points this season were more than 400 ahead of Jokić. But on Jokić's side of the main register, he had a 60-point performance of 10 points against Minnesota. It was only the third 60-point triple double in NBA history.

They have brought both points on one way, best with some of the leagues.
