Upset Shai Gilgeous-Alexander drops eye-opening take on MVP polling - Source: Imagn
OKC Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has continued from where he left off last season. He is among the frontrunners for this season's MVP award, but he had other ideas about the award when he spoke to reporters on Monday before the loss against the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2024 Emirates NBA Cup.
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander believes that individual awards are meaningless if they don't turn into team success. He went further to add that winning should be a key factor when players are being evaluated for the prestigious award.
"Nothing matters in this game if you don't win," Gilgeous-Alexander told ESPN. "And the award is finished being selected before the playoffs are finished, so those games don't go into it. So I think it should matter a lot."
