It’s been a crazy couple years for SGA. He went from putting up empty stats on a bad team, to last year being a first time all star and making all NBA 1st team, to now doing the same thing he did last year but for a winning team. Went from a 0x all star to 1st team all NBA in one year. OKC is 11-4, 2nd place in the loaded West, and SGA is averaging 30-6-6 on elite efficiency all while leading the league in steals as well. OKC is 7th in offense and 5th in defense (shoutout Chet, he’s already proven to be a great defensive anchor) and they look like a team ready to compete for a title this year.

My personal MVP ladder as of right now, 11/23/23, would be Shai at 1, Jokic at 2, then Tatum, Ant, and Giannis rounding out the top 5.
