Shai Gilgeous-Alexander Is in Contention for Third Straight NBA MVP
Oklahoma City's Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is a contender this NBA season for potentially winning the MVP award for the third consecutive year, a rare achievement.
Billings, MT, October 18, 2026 —
Oklahoma City guard Shai Gilgeous-Alexander is in contention for the NBA’s Most Valuable Player award this season, with the possibility of earning the honor for a third consecutive year. Such a run would be rare, according to the trend summary.
The summary identifies Gilgeous-Alexander as a contender but does not provide details about his case, including statistics, team results or the other players being considered. It also does not specify the season or provide a timeline for the award decision. Those details are not available in the information provided.
A third consecutive MVP would extend Gilgeous-Alexander’s run as the award’s winner, but the summary describes that outcome only as a possibility. His candidacy should therefore be distinguished from a confirmed result: he is in contention, and no final award outcome is reported.
The available information does not name the source of the contender assessment or offer further context about how the race is developing. It also provides no statements from Gilgeous-Alexander, Oklahoma City or league officials. Without those details, the report is limited to the central development: Gilgeous-Alexander could become a three-time consecutive MVP, an achievement characterized in the summary as rare.
