SGA back-to-back MVP notes, per ESPN Research: - No. 1 seed, NBA-high 64 wins, despite third-most team games missed due to injuries - First player to win consecutive MVPs since Nikola Jokic in 2020-21 and 2021-22 and the first guard to win consecutive MVPs since Stephen Curry in 2014-15 and 2015-16 - First guard to average 30 points and 55% shooting in a season in NBA history - Joined Michael Jordan as the only players to average 30 points, 5 assists and 50% shooting in 4 consecutive seasons in league history - Did not score below 20 points in any game all season. He is the third player to score 20+ points in every game in a season, joining Wilt Chamberlain (1961-62, 1963-64) and Elgin Baylor (1961-62) - +788 on the season, more than 100 points better than the next closest player in Victor Wembanyama (+682)




Tom Dundon on not sending 2-way players on the road to the playoffs "I'm just not gonna waste $100 million just because someone wants to write an article calling me cheap. I'm not going to do it. It's hard because I don't think of a budget when it comes to the playing team and how to make sure we win. Some of the stuff that was blamed on money is actually not 100 percent true. That I thought about the money. Like on traveling players, I just made a mistake. I just don't understand the league. In hockey we don't travel extra people because we're not on vacation, we're here to win. I don't want the distraction. The NBA seems to live with those distractions. It's not how I think about it. So you gotta sort of have to learn." (Via Game Over h/t @MikeVorkunov )
