What does Shai have to do to win MVP? (alien.top)

He has been having an excellent season. Obviously, Jokic is the better player and continues to put up better statistical performances. However, I'm a big fan of Shai and would love to see him win.

he is the highest rated player by epm, elite on both ends. a rookie is his second best player. if the thunder are the 1 seed, hes my vote for mvp

Top three seed and he should be a favorite to win it but judges might want to see some playoff success first before they give it to him. However if he leads the league in a lot of statistical categories that might be enough.

Top 3 seed.

Be good for a whole season and help his team win a lot of games? Like what most MVPs have to do.

If thunder are a top 3 seed in the west this year, he will win it.

Average 20 and Turn Giddey over to the Feds

Thunder win more games than the Nuggets. Shai is close or ahead of Jokic in advanced stats.

Minimum 50 wins for Thunder

It sounds fucked up but if Giddey goes out for “that”, and they can get a top 3 record. him getting the ball in his hands more and handling more playmaking could give him both the narrative boost and statistics for assist. But it would take a media circus for the organization and him to be able to steady the ship on the court.

He is not going to win anything shooting 1 3-point a game.

Win

Same thing every other player in the NBA has to do. Play better than pretty much everyone while leading his team to playoffs. Then he must accrue enough votes to win MVP. Thanks for your question
