Victor Wembanyama’s monster Game 1 started and ended with his focus on SGA’s latest MVP award
Wemby wants SGA’s MVP. And everything else.
Victor Wembanyama saw NBA Commissioner Adam Silver hand Shai Gilgeous-Alexander the 2026 MVP award ahead of Game 1 of the Western Conference finals on Monday.
In the WNBA, the Most Valuable Player award goes to the player who dominates the league, performs at the highest level possible, and uplifts their team to a tier they’d never reach without their efforts.
The WNBA MVP race has mostly belonged to A’ja Wilson over the last few years. Since 2020, Wilson has dominated the league. She has won four MVP awards and also picked up two Finals MVP trophies during that stretch.
Victor Wembanyama said losing out on MVP honors fueled his performance in the San Antonio Spurs' series opening win over the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Former NBA big man DeMarcus Cousins blamed one Thunder player after the Spurs took Game 1 of the Western Conference Finals.
Victor Wembanyama finishes with 41 points and 24 rebounds as San Antonio outlasts Oklahoma City 122-115 in double overtime.
