"Victor Wembanyama has forced his way to the top of the NBA's Most Valuable Player discussion, with a chance to become the first player to win the award as early as his third season since Derrick Rose did so 15 years ago."
"In a poll of 100 NBA media members conducted Monday through Wednesday, Gilgeous-Alexander leads our ballot with only 10 days left in the regular season."
"The 27-year-old guard's clutch play has allowed the defending champions to overcome injuries throughout their rotation and remain a step ahead of the Spurs."
"Despite Wembanyama's late charge, Denver Nuggets' center Nikola Jokic' continued otherworldly play and Los Angeles Lakers guard Luka Doncic coming off a 600-point month -- the first in March since Michael Jordan in 1987."
The San Antonio Spurs have won 27 of 29 games, boosting Victor Wembanyama's MVP candidacy. He could become the first player to win the award in his third season since Derrick Rose. However, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads the MVP race in a recent ESPN poll. The poll involved 100 media members and mimicked the official voting process. Gilgeous-Alexander's clutch performances have kept the Oklahoma City Thunder ahead, despite competition from Wembanyama, Nikola Jokic, and Luka Doncic.
