May, and we still do not yet (officially) know who the 2025 NBA MVP is. The likely winner is Oklahoma City Thunder star guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, who helped pace the Thunder to a stellar 68-win regular season campaign.
Gilgeous-Alexander led Oklahoma City with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 2 steals. Nikola Jokić posted 27 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists and 4 steals in the losing effort. He shot 7 of 22 from the field, and Oklahoma City's stifling defense continued to fluster him.
