With roughly five weeks remaining in the 2024-25 NBA regular season, the race for MVP is still up in the air. Barring injury, it's a two-man race between Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Nikola Jokić, but there are a lot of interesting debates to be hard for the positioning of players behind them.

From picking up new training partners at an open gym to exploring different movements, the Thunder guard has become a star in his own way.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has more 50-point games in the last 40 days than Shaquille O’Neal had in his 19-year career. To put it another way, SGA has recorded as many 50 burgers since the debut of “Severance” Season 2 as Klay Thompson did through three presidential terms.
