The race for the 2025 NBA Most Valuable Player award is officially down to three elite talents: Nikola Jokic, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, and Giannis Antetokounmpo.
Denver Nuggets center Nikola Jokic is no stranger to this stage, having claimed the MVP trophy three of the past four seasons. His unique blend of passing, scoring, and rebounding continues to set him apart in the modern NBA.
Milwaukee Bucks forward Giannis Antetokounmpo, a two-time MVP, remains one of the most dominant two-way players in the league. His relentless energy on both ends of the floor has kept the Bucks in championship contention.
Meanwhile, Oklahoma City Thunder star Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has emerged as a new contender, seeking his first MVP title. The young guard’s breakout season has powered the Thunder’s resurgence and placed him among the NBA’s elite.
As the postseason heats up, fans and analysts alike will be closely watching these three superstars to see who ultimately takes home the league’s highest individual honor.
