Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, hailing from Hamilton, Ontario, has made history by winning the NBA's Most Valuable Player award for the second consecutive year, solidifying his status as one of the league's elite players. This achievement makes him the 14th player to win back-to-back MVP awards and the 18th to secure multiple MVP titles. His remarkable season included an average of 31.1 points per game, placing him second in the league. Gilgeous-Alexander also extended his NBA-record streak of scoring at least 20 points in 140 consecutive games. His ability to perform under pressure earned him the title of the league's Clutch Player of the Year, receiving 96 of 100 first-place votes. The MVP award continues a trend of international players dominating the league, with Gilgeous-Alexander being the eighth consecutive non-U.S. player to win the award. NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is set to present the MVP trophy to Gilgeous-Alexander during the upcoming Western Conference finals against the San Antonio Spurs, where he will also face off against fellow finalist Victor Wembanyama.
