If anyone is set up to match that type of run from this generation, it’s SGA. As the Thunder blasted the Cavs on Thursday night, Gilgeous-Alexander feels like he’s finally the definitive front-runner to win MVP this season. The Thunder sure feel like the definitive favorite to win the NBA championship this year, too.

Michael Jordan was happy to see Derrick Rose become the youngest MVP in NBA history in 2011. Jordan and Rose are the only players in Chicago Bulls history to win the MVP Award. “MVP of the season,” Jordan told ESPN in March 2011.

The debate surrounding the NBA’s greatest player of all-time revolves mostly around two players who displayed greatness in different eras and in different ways. However, one NBA legend calls rubbish.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a minus-odds favorite to win NBA MVP despite Nikola Jokić's outstanding numbers so far this season.

The Chicago Bulls announced today that Derrick Rose’s No. 1 jersey will be officially retired, making him the fifth Bulls player to receive this franchise honor. The Rose jersey retirement ceremony will be held during the next NBA season (2025-26), and details will be announced at a later date.
