Despite stamping himself as the third player and first center in NBA history to average a triple-double in a season, Jokic fell short of a fourth career MVP trophy, the league announced Wednesday.

If that wasn’t enough, he also won the scoring title. That’s an MVP year. Gilgeous-Alexander was announced Wednesday as the NBA’s Most Valuable Player, his first time winning the award.

Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was overcome with emotion while addressing his wife, Hailey Summers, during his victory speech for the 2024-25 NBA MVP award on Wednesday.
