Tras cinco años sin que un jugador nacido en Estados Unidos gane el premio al MVP de la NBA, los analistas examinan a los posibles candidatos al próximo galardón.
La NBA ha experimentado un dominio internacional en las votaciones recientes al MVP, con ganadores como Giannis Antetokounmpo, Nikola Jokić, Joel Embiid y Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Cinco jugadores estadounidenses en activo poseen títulos de MVP previos, pero todos tienen al menos 36 años y podrían retirarse pronto.
As the 2025-26 NBA season nears its end, the 65-game threshold for awards eligibility—introduced in 2023 to combat load management—continues to draw fire. With stars like Joel Embiid, Stephen Curry, LeBron James, and Giannis Antetokounmpo already sidelined from contention, Nikola Jokić can miss just one more game, while Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Luka Dončić, and Victor Wembanyama hover near disqualification amid rising injury concerns.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Luka Dončić, frontrunners in this season's tight NBA Most Valuable Player race, both turned down opportunities to pitch their candidacies after standout games. Gilgeous-Alexander laughed off the question following a 47-point performance, while Dončić said he lets his play speak for itself. Victor Wembanyama, another contender, has actively made his case.
