Who was the last player to win MVP and NBA Finals MVP in the same season?
Who was the last player to win MVP and NBA Finals MVP in the same season?
Two weeks ago, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander was named the NBA' Most Valuable Player for the first time in his career. If the NBA Finals go as predicted, he'll be adding another MVP trophy to the case before the season is up.
At BetMGM, SGA is a massive -625 favorite to win NBA Finals MVP, with the next closest player being Tyrese Haliburton at +700. Those odds put Gilgeous-Alexander in line to do something that hasn't been done in more than 10 years: win the regular season MVP and finals MVP in the same season.
If successful he'd be the first player to do so since LeBron James in 2013.
