|Thunder Coach mark Daigneaul drop his honest Shai Gilgeous-Alexender MVP Chances
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, the standout point guard for the Oklahoma City Thunder, is leading his team on a strong
trajectory towards the NBA postseason. With just one month and one day remaining until the playoffs begin, the Thunder have positioned themselves as
strong contenders for the top seed in the Western Conference. Gilgeous-Alexander’s exceptional performance
this season has sparked discussions about his chances of winning his first NBA MVP award, showcasing his dominance on the court.
Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault offered an intriguing viewpoint on the
significance of such an award for both Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and the entire Oklahoma City organization.
“He doesn’t need an award to validate what he’s achieved in his career so far and the impact he’s had on our team this
season,” expressed Daigneault, according to a tweet by Clemente Almanza of OKC Thunder Wire on Twitter.
As of now, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander faces a challenging task to surpass Denver Nuggets’ MVP and widely regarded as the top player in the league, Nikola Jokic, in
the MVP race. Nevertheless, Gilgeous-Alexander will have several more opportunities in the remaining regular season games, including an upcoming
away match against the Boston Celtics, to showcase his ability and prove himself alongside players like Jokic before the NBA playoffs commence.
