Outcome

confirmed false

SGA won the 2025-26 NBA MVP award, becoming a back-to-back winner just one season after his first MVP — directly contradicting the prediction that it was a one-time achievement. He won in a landslide with 83 of 100 first-place votes, leading the Thunder to a 64-18 record. He is now the 14th player in NBA history to win consecutive MVP awards, joining elite company like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Stephen Curry, and Steve Nash.
