Reflecting on his MVP candidacy alongside top contenders like Nikola Jokic and Luka Doncic, Gilgeous-Alexander expressed his desire to receive the honor.
“I hope I get it, yes. I think all the guys are deserving, all have their case. Whatever happens, happens. But whoever gets it is deserving for sure,” he said, per Tim McMahon.
Throughout the season, Gilgeous-Alexander has been the driving force behind the Thunder’s success, leading them to the No. 1 seed in the highly competitive Western Conference.
