Timberwolves vs. Thunder Live updates: 2025 NBA Playoffs Game 2 Start time, picks and predictions

Ted P .: SGA earns the MVP as the best scorer in the best team and as a better all-round player, but Jokic also earns his astronomical numbers in points, assists, rebounds and steal in a much less talented team. I wish you had been called Co-MVPS. Give SGA his props. I hope OK city wins everything.

Paul B .: I have observed the NBA for 50 years and saw many games. SGA drives into the basket just like every single player that I have ever seen with the exception of all IVERSON. And of course SGA is a much better defender and shooter than AI. I saw how he tried to get fouls called, but I also saw how he did a lot and bounced back straight away. I love the goal shooters that start, driving, adapting, creating, creating, and SGA is an absolutely brilliant player in my book.

Kirk v.: The MVP trophy was called for a foul after Shai had passed it at the ceremony. There was no actual contact, but the officials gave Shai two free throws.

Damian D .: Really three deserved candidates in SGA, Jokic and Antetocounmpo, who set up excellent numbers during the regular seasons. People can do everything they want to flop over the tendency of SGA, but that did not prevent him from shooting three consecutive seasons of 50%. His ability to meet the middle is a lost art in today's analytical NBA. This season he also increased his volume of three -point shooting and kept his solid percentage from this area. It enabled him to keep his 50% shooting series intact.
