Oklahoma City Thunder superstar\u00a0Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u00a0continues to make NBA history after earning his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player award.<\/p>\n
Gilgeous-Alexander delivered a historic season, becoming the first guard in NBA history to average 30 points per game while shooting 55 percent from the field over a full season.<\/p>\n
The Thunder standout also joined\u00a0Michael Jordan\u00a0as the only players in league history to average at least 30 points, 5 assists, and shoot 50 percent or better from the field across four straight seasons.<\/p>\n
ESPN reports Gilgeous-Alexander is the first player to win consecutive MVP honors since\u00a0Nikola Jokic\u00a0accomplished the feat in 2021 and 2022. He also becomes the first guard to capture back-to-back MVP awards since\u00a0Stephen Curry\u00a0won consecutive trophies in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n
The achievement further solidifies Gilgeous-Alexander\u2019s place among the NBA\u2019s elite and adds another historic chapter to Oklahoma City basketball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Oklahoma City Thunder superstar\u00a0Shai Gilgeous-Alexander\u00a0continues to make NBA history after earning his second consecutive NBA Most Valuable Player…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":650438,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-650437","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650437","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=650437"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/650437\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/650438"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=650437"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=650437"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=650437"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
