Biggest threat to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander repeating as MVP comes to town early

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the Oklahoma City Thunder have already begun hearing echoes of, "Dynasty," whenever their names are discussed. The Thunder won their first-ever championship in 2024-25, and with a superstar and a deep cast to support him, there's reason to believe they can do so again.

If the goal is repeating past success, however, then Gilgeous-Alexander will first need to deal with the player who has the best chance of preventing him from winning a second straight MVP: Luka Doncic.

Gilgeous-Alexander was in generational form in 2024-25, winning NBA MVP, Finals MVP, and the scoring title.
