This is what Michael Malone said just 2 months ago about Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and about who should be the MVP

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander when asked if he wanted to make his case for MVP Nah Im good Thanks for asking thoughI let my game do the talking

Mike Malone says SGA is the MVP He's proven himself to be the best clutch player in the NBA He has a chance to be the first guard ever to average 30 PPG and shoot 55 No disrespect to Wemby Jokic everybody else SGA is incredible in his ability to impact the game in all shapes and forms

Zach Lowe on the Top 3 MVP candidates I think Shai start to finish this is his MVP I do think Wemby has a real case I think hes made it to 2nd on my ballot over Jokic who continues to have these games where its What are these turnovers that youre having Its crazy

Tyrese Haliburton on who his pick is for the MVP My vote would for sure go to Shai back-to-back

Chris Mannix on his MVP vote Ive got Luka Doni in my second tier Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Victor Wembanyama Nikola Joki Jaylen Brown Those four guys are in my first tier and those are the four guys that I am considering casting my MVP vote for

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander brings it up gets to his spot and pulls up for three29 points and he is HYPED
