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)
If only there were a player who had outplayed him H2H in B2B seasons, won B2B MVPs, led two historically great teams, had a GOAT-level scoring season as a plus defender and playmaker and been better than him end-to-end this year.
That guy might just be the best in the world!
