Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on MVP chatter: “I let my game do the talking”
Shai Gilgeous-Alexander cracked a grin when asked about the MVP conversation late Monday night. This moment came days after San Antonio Spurs star Victor Wembanyama publicly presented a three-pronged case for his candidacy, hours after Los Angeles Lakers coach JJ Redick lobbied for Luka Doncic to win the award and minutes after Gilgeous-Alexander put the finishing touches on a 47-point performance to carry the Oklahoma City Thunder to a 114-110 overtime win over the Detroit Pistons. "I think it's good for the league.
I think it's good chatter," said Gilgeous-Alexander, the reigning MVP. "It gives people something to talk about. There's a lot of good players in this league and a lot of guys in the conversation because of that.
" However, Gilgeous-Alexander doesn't want to weigh in on the conversation with any words of his own. "No, I'm good. Thanks for asking, though," he said.
"Yeah, I'm good. I let my game do the talking. " ESPN This article originally appeared on Hoops Hype: Shai Gilgeous-Alexander on MVP chatter: “I let my game do the talking”
