Regular season MVP! Alexander ranked first in many data leagues, deserves it!

On May 22, the NBA officially announced the 2023-24 regular season MVP winner. Oklahoma City Thunder star Shay Gilgers - Alexander won this honor with his overwhelming advantage.

The 26-year-old Canadian defender averaged 32.7 points per game (winning the league's scoring champion), with 5 rebounds, 6.4 assists and 1.7 steals. His all-round data helped the Thunder win the league with 68 wins and 14 losses, and set a new regular season winning record in team history. His shooting percentage reached 51.9%, his three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%, and his free throw shooting percentage reached 89.8%, making him the first guard in NBA history to achieve "32+5+6" in a single season and shoot over 50%.

Alexander's dominance this season has been running through all the time: 72 consecutive games scored 20+ and set the fourth longest record in history; 49 times in 73 regular season games, 49 breakthroughs, 40+ and 4 hits 50+, leading the league in all three statistics. His personal net efficiency value reached +17.9, and when he was present, the Thunder beat his opponent by 18.5 points per 100 rounds. These data support the Thunder's net win per game of 12.8 points, breaking the NBA record. The team's 68-win record not only surpassed the peak of the 64-win team history in the 1995-96 Supersonic era, but also beat the Cleveland Cavaliers with 4 wins and secured the regular season championship without any controversy.

Alexander took this opportunity to enter the Thunder's history and became the third player to win the regular season MVP honor after Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook. Durant won the championship for the first time that year with 32 points, 7.4 rebounds and 5.5 assists per game, while Westbrook shocked the league with an unprecedented triple-double average (31.6 points, 10.7 rebounds and 10.4 assists). Now Alexander has continued the team's inheritance of the superstars with more efficient offensive performance and team victory.

At present, Alexander is leading the Thunder to fight bravely in the Western Conference Finals. In the first game, the Thunder defeated the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 114-88, successfully achieving a good start. In the playoffs, he first swept the Memphis Grizzlies 4-0 in the first round, and eliminated the defending champion Denver Nuggets in seven games in the second round. As the team's offense and defense core, Alexander averaged 31.2 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.1 assists in 19 playoff games, and his shooting percentage was stable at 49.3%. With only 7 wins to the first championship trophy in team history, this new MVP's legendary season may usher in its most brilliant finale.
