However, this wasn’t the sole reaction to his MVP award.
Two-time MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo expressed his astonishment at the news, humorously questioning whether the ESPN analyst Sham Charania’s account had been compromised. Additionally, Shai’s victory came at the expense of prominent contenders like Nikola Jokic and Giannis himself.

His MVP recognition is justified, stemming from a spectacular 2024-25 season where he led the league in scoring, doing so with remarkable efficiency.
His outstanding contributions were vital in steering the Thunder to an impressive 68-win season, securing them the top seed in the Western Conference. This determination distinguished him from other MVP contenders like Nikola Jokic and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
With the MVP title and a scoring crown now under his belt, Shai is looking ahead. When asked what his next move is following this achievement, he reiterated what has always motivated him: the pursuit of winning.
