The NBA has officially announced that Shai Gilgeous-Alexander of the Oklahoma City Thunder is the 2025 NBA Most Valuable Player.

Throughout the 2024–2025 season, SGA dazzled fans and analysts alike with his elite scoring, poise under pressure, and leadership on both ends of the floor. Averaging over 30 points, 6 assists, and 5 rebounds per game while anchoring one of the top teams in the Western Conference, his consistency and clutch play solidified his case as MVP.
This recognition is a culmination of years of growth, as Shai has gradually evolved from a promising rookie into one of the NBA’s most complete and electrifying guards.
