SGA back-to-back MVP notes, per ESPN Research:
- No. 1 seed, NBA-high 64 wins, despite third-most team games missed due to injuries
- First player to win consecutive MVPs since Nikola Jokic in 2020-21 and 2021-22 and the first guard to win consecutive MVPs since Stephen Curry in 2014-15 and 2015-16
- First guard to average 30 points and 55% shooting in a season in NBA history
- Joined Michael Jordan as the only players to average 30 points, 5 assists and 50% shooting in 4 consecutive seasons in league history
- Did not score below 20 points in any game all season. He is the third player to score 20+ points in every game in a season, joining Wilt Chamberlain (1961-62, 1963-64) and Elgin Baylor (1961-62)
- +788 on the season, more than 100 points better than the next closest player in Victor Wembanyama (+682)
Not worse. Not better. Just different.
These are not the personalities I grew up watching, or grew old playing with, but, man, these guys are having fun.
Hard to hate on that!
LOL HEB is NOT a "random grocery store in Texas" Its the pinnacle of grocery stores that only a few other chains can come close to. It's an experience. It'd be like calling the SR-71 a random airplane.
